If/else and how to select multiple without specifying amount?

[ShaneWikerSWE]

I'm trying to find how to do if x = 6, else if, etc.

Also how to have multiple selections of an array or object, without specifying how many to choose.

Like I may ask to select all of the items in an array being referenced or talked about, but without knowing exactly how many there are.

Is there a way to do that? The documentation and examples are limited so I haven't been able to figure it out

An example I came up with myself:

n = None


def set_bool_var(is_enabled):
    global n
    n = is_enabled == "true"


def my_cond():
    return n


prompt = """
JSON: { "enable": {{#select 'bool_var'}}true{{or}}false{{/select}} }{{set_bool_var bool_var}}
Result is {{#if my_cond}}True{{else}}False{{/if}}
"""

prog = guidance(prompt)

prog(set_bool_var=set_bool_var, my_cond=my_cond)

Some reference materials in the guidance/library/_if.py file might be helpful. Based on the comments, it appears that "else if" is currently not supported.

elif support is something we would like to have, but don't yet. As for selecting more than one item from a select statement, you need to have a way for the llm to decide when it is done, which makes most sense as a list:

guidance("""<items>{{#geneach 'selected_items' stop="</items>"~}}
<item>{{select 'this' options=all_options}}</item>{{/geneach}}</items>""")
