Conditionals
Conditionals add a special syntax to apply styles only a condition is fulfilled.
They're written in square brackets and depending on the type of comparison support only equal comparison or all comparison operators.
Comparison Operators
Operator | Description |
---|---|
= | Matches if the value is exactly the same. Commonly used with variants. |
> | Matches if the value greater than a given number. Only supported for integer and float types. |
>= | Matches if the value greater than or equal to a given number. Only supported for integer and float types. |
< | Matches if the value less than a given number. Only supported for integer and float types. |
<= | Matches if the value less than or equal to a given number. Only supported for integer and float types. |
Variant Comparison
The most simple conditions are variant checks which we've seen in the Variant docs before.

variant Mode { Dark Light} style Button { padding: 10 [Mode=Dark] { backgroundColor: black } [Mode=White] { backgroundColor: white }}
Environment Conditionals
Apart from variants, some generators also implement special environment conditionals such as pseudo classes and media queries for web-specific generators.
Some environment variables are boolean types, which means they don't use a comparison operator at all.
