Dependent fields problem

szakendre

Hi!
I use the following code, and it's working:

    editor1.dependent( 'option', function ( val )
    {
        return (val === 'value1' || val === 'value2') ?
            { show: ['field1', 'field2', 'field3'] }:
            { hide: ['field1', 'field2', 'field13'] };
    } );

Is it possible to change the simple if statement to real if - else if - else statement or switch statement?

I tied this, but doesn't work:

    editor1.dependent( 'option', function ( val )
    {
        if (val === 'value1' || val === 'value2')
        {
            show: ['field1', 'field2', 'field3'];
            return true;
        }
        else
        {
            hide: ['field1', 'field2', 'field3'];
            return false;
        }
    } );

I tried the following too, but doesn't work either:

    editor1.dependent( 'option', function ( val )
    {
        switch(val)
        {
            case 'value1':
                show: ['field1', 'field2', 'field3'];
                hide: ['field4', 'field5', 'field6'];
                return true;
            break;
            case 'value2':
                show: ['field4', 'field5', 'field6'];
                hide: ['field1', 'field2', 'field3'];
                return true;
            break;
        } 
    } );

What is the correct syntax of this expression?

Thank You and best regards.

I haven't used dependent much but I think that you need to return the show/hide objects instead of true or false. Haven't tried it but I think this is what you want:

editor1.dependent( 'option', function ( val )
{
    if (val === 'value1' || val === 'value2')
    {
        return {show: ['field1', 'field2', 'field3']};
    }
    else
    {
        return {hide: ['field1', 'field2', 'field3']};
    }
} );

or

editor1.dependent( 'option', function ( val )
{
    switch(val)
    {
        case 'value1':
            return {show: ['field1', 'field2', 'field3'], hide: ['field4', 'field5', 'field6']};
        break;
        case 'value2':
            return {show: ['field4', 'field5', 'field6'],  hide: ['field1', 'field2', 'field3']};
        break;
    }
} );
