## Class ChainDirective

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.velocity.runtime.directive.Directive

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Cloneable, org.apache.velocity.runtime.directive.DirectiveConstants

      public class ChainDirective
      extends org.apache.velocity.runtime.directive.Directive

  A custom Velocity directive to conditionally join a number of `chunks`. Usage of chain is the following:

       #chain(operator) - e.g. #chain(' AND ')
       #chain(operator prefix) - e.g. #chain(' AND ' 'WHERE ')

  `operator` (e.g. AND, OR, etc.) is used to join chunks that are included in a chain. `prefix` is inserted if a chain contains at least one chunk.

  Since:
    1.1
