Writing If-Else Within the fields portion of a JOB

[Mathew Juma]

Is it  correct to write if-else within the fields portion of openfn? as below:

.

.

fields(

if(state.data.form_field_a == "xxxxx"){

field("field_1__c", dataValue("form.value_1")),

field("field_2__c", dataValue("form.value_2")),         

field("field_3__c", dataValue("form.value_3")),

field("field_4__c", dataValue("form.value_4"))

} 

else if (state.data.form_field_a == "yyyyyy" || state.data.form_field_a == "zzzzz"){

field("field_1__c", dataValue("form.value_5")),

field("field_2__c", dataValue("form.value_6"))

}

)

.

.

NB: Job submission target is Salesforce

There are a bunch of options here. Would && or a ternary work for you? See below:

upsert(

'Patient__c',

'Patient_ID__c',

fields(

field('Name__c', dataValue('name')),

field('b', 2),

// Omit field if test fails

state.data.testValue > 1 && field('c', dataValue('something')),

// Omit field with ternary if test fails

state.data.anotherTest ? field('d', 13) : '',

// Ternary to change field

state.data.finalTest ? field('e', 16) : '',

// Ternary to change value

field('f', state => {

console.log('this is common place to calculate a value');

const something = state.data.thatOne;

const somethingElse = 4 * 2.42 + state.data.testValue;

if (state.data.test === 'foo') {

return something;

}

return somethingElse;

})

)

);
