if then statement inside of inline shell?

[Vritual Packer]

Spent quite a while googling this and can't find an example...

What is the proper way to do a if then statement inside of an inline  shell?

example:

"type": "shell",

"inline" : [

"yum update -y"

 " if [ $VAR -eq "something" ]; then

   do this

   and this

   and finally this

  else

  do something else

fi",

Thank you for any help...

I don't think you can, the best way to use scripts on its own file and you can do if statements. 

"scripts": [

    "scripts/setup.sh",

    "scripts/update.sh",

    "scripts/packages.sh"

],

I know something like this works:

" if [ ${SOMETHING} -eq 1 ]; then do this; fi"

I just can't figure out how to get it formatted for multiple lines so it looks nice/more readable.
