Conditional statement within an append output

Question

Is it possible to do something like this

$( "#till__tablepanel_table_"+tablenumber ).append( "<span>"+if (variable == 1) { writeHere }+"</span>" );

I cannot seem to get this working. Example: How would i writeHere if the conditions were true?

Answer 1

You can use a ternary if statement for that:

.append( "<span>" + (variable == 1 ? writeHere : "" ) + "</span>" );
