[stringtemplate-interest] Conditionals

[Jiwon Seo]

Hi,

I'm using stringtemplate for code generation.
One thing I need to do is to generate different code based on the type
of a variable, like following:

Foo(type, a, b) ::= <<
class Foo {
    <type> foo;

    <if (type=="int")>
       do some int thing
    <elseif (type=="String">
      do some string thing
    <endif>
}
>>

So far, I could somehow use the map (such as, EqMap ::= ["int": "==" ,
default: ".equals"] ) but this is something that cannot be done using
the map. So I ended up using a lot of variables like following:

Foo(type, intType, stringType, ... a, b) ::= <<
class Foo {
    <type> foo;

    <if (intType)>
       do some int thing
    <elseif (stringType)>
      do some string thing
    <endif>
}
>>

Is there any other ways of doing this?
