use if/then inside .each loop

Question

hi all,still a javascript jQuery newbie...I want to add text inside the .each loop using an if/then statement - not sure how to do it...basic.$.each(data, function(key, value) { console. log ('item', key, value); output += "

" + value.id + " " + value.name + " " + value.date + "

"; });I tried this IF... : but doesn't work...$.each(data, function(key, value) { console. log ('item', key, value); output += "

" + value.id + " " + value.name if (value.name == "Bob") { + " nice name " } " " + value.date + "

"; });Q: Any idea how to get it to work?

You're already performing the concatenation when you do this: output +=You know that it will keep what already exists in output and add to it (assuming this is assigned outside the loop). So you can just simply add more of the same thing.Inside the loop:output += '

' + value.id + ' ' + value.name;if (value.name == 'Bob') { output += ' nice name'; }output += ' ' + value.date + '

'; Concatenate as much as you like. Unless you're dealing with crazy amounts of data, for a new person the performance impact of several concatenations is negligible.
