.includes in expression editor?

At a glance

I'm trying to show an image if the content type is an image, a video player if the content type is a player, show a pdf viewer if the file type is a pdf, etc. Can I use default "Show / Hide" with the expression editor? Or do I need to introduce custom JS embed?

you can

OOleg Isonen

I mean you can't use .includes

OOleg Isonen

but you can check the string equality

SSkiinBerlin

how?

SSkiinBerlin

ah, just equality? I assume just = then?

SSkiinBerlin

The thing is that the the type returns image/webp, or image/png or image/jpeg

So ideally i can show if the string contains image, and not equal to specific..

If this is not possible, is "or" supported int the expression editor?

Then I can put in most common file extentions

OOleg Isonen

add a type to the data that has a simple string, otherwise you have to check all 3

OOleg Isonen

yes you can do or

OOleg Isonen

a == 'x'|| a == 'Y'

OOleg Isonen

also its a standard javascript expression, you can always ask AI

I see okay. I'm using directus as backend so i can't change too much of how its returned. I'll use the or. Sounds good. I tried ai and it gave me .includes. and couldnt get from the docs what's possible.

But thanks for the help!!! 🫶
