I have to disable a link in mustache file by getting value from YML configuration (in Dropwizard). If the value is disable, it should hide the element in the page so that user should not able to click the link. Is it possible to do this function?

Mustache is logic-less, so you must provide a boolean value in your YAML file:

href: false

YAML also allows off and no as boolean values that map to false. You can then write a mustache file like this:

<a{{#href}} href="example.com"{{/href}}>

The Text inside {{#href}} … {{/href}} will only render if href exists and is not false. Note that you must set it to true for the tag to render.

  • I tried to implement this for a similar use case. In my attempt i am facing two issues, url is displayed as plain text and second in instances where href=null the hyperlink text is still displayed https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74745046/issue-with-rendering-a-hyperlink-using-mustache?noredirect=1#comment131918311_74745046 – Bisoux Dec 09 '22 at 20:01
