If X = Y then Y else Q in an ajax query

in Getting Started • 4 years ago

Hi all!

I'm completely new to all of this but am trying to add some logic into an ajax query from a JSON file to write this to HTML.

I'm reading two variable from a nested JSON file, "departure time" and "expected departure time". I want to write the "expected departure time" into the HTML if the two times differ. But if they are equal instead of the time I want to write "On Time".

For this I need to have some logic inside my query. But I don't know how to do this.

Below is the code where I have the logic described as:

" if (boardHTML = boardHTML2) then bordHTML3 = "ON TIME" else boardHTML3 = boardHTML"

I know that this is incorrect, but how can I add such a logic to the query? Any advice?

$.ajax({
dataType: "json",
url: url
}).done(function(data) {
console.log(data);
$('#ExpectedTime').html('<h3></h3>');
for (var place of data.departures.all) {
var boardHTML = '<div class="DBoard">' +
place.expected_departure_time +

'</div>';

var boardHTML2 = '<div class="DBoard">' +
place.aimed_departure_time +

'</div>';

if (boardHTML = boardHTML2) then bordHTML3 = "ON TIME" else boardHTML3 = boardHTML;

$('#ExpectedTime').append(boardHTML3);
}
