# if

This block is part of the [`state ui`](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/state%20ui) group and was last modified in core [`v10.4.28`](https://docs.rual.nl/core-versions/100428).

## Connection Type

This block connects from a `statedatatableconnection` type block. Make sure to connect this block to the appropriate left-hand side connection.

Conditional branching for datatable connection (if.. then.. else..)

- true required `statedatatableconnection`

- false required `statedatatableconnection`

- boolean required `condition`

- statedatatableconnection `statedatatableconnection`

A typical wiring for [if](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/state%2520ui/statedatatableconnection_branch): the `statedatatableconnection` out pin feeds [datatable](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/state%2520ui/state_datatable).
