Does advanced pdf / freemarker support using something like || operator of js? What I am trying to accomplish is something like this

Copy code

<td class="address" colspan="6" rowspan="2">${record.billaddress} || ${record.shipaddress}</td>

I don't want to start with ifs and else since in my case I already have a bunch and it would get very messy to start adding ifs to all of them

You can try to combine them into a single statement like this:

${(record.billaddress?length == 0)?string(record.shipaddress, record.billaddress)}

Thanks. Was just trying something like that with

.then

but was having trouble because it expects a boolean value and I am so used to JS that I assumed it would just evaluate

If you are doing this a lot a coalesce macro would make things much cleaner

Something like

Copy code

<#macro coalesce args...>
   <#list args as arg>
     <#if (arg!"")?length gt 0>
       ${arg}
       <#break>
     </#if>
   </#list>
</#macro>

which you could then use

Copy code

<@coalesce record.billaddress record.shipaddress />

Also I'm not sure if the version of freemaker NetSuite uses supports

?then

, but if it does you should be able to do

Copy code

${(record.billaddress?length gt 0)?then(record.billaddress, record.shipaddress)}
