validate mustache tag value from json file

Hi I havent been able to find how to validate a tag before displaying it, for instance: if I have a JSON file lets says this values:

{ "weeks":
  [
    {
      "monday800": "no",
      "monday830": "available",
      "tuesday800": "available",
      "tuesday830": "no",
      "name": "TEST"
    }
  ]
}

I bring the value like this:

$(function(){
    $.get("data.json",function(data){
        var template = $("#tpl").html();
        var html = Mustache.to_html(template,data);
        console.log ();
        $("#information").html(html);
    });
});

Now what I want to do is: if {{monday830}} == "available" then display {{name}}

I have struggled with the same problem as the author described in a comment on the question and according to the mustache library, you cannot do it. There is an issue about it. But this problem is widespread and there is a fork to help you. Here is the link. It works like should.

Its not possible in mustache as its logic less. Use handlebarsjs instead.

If you still want to achieve this in mustache then:

You can not use any if statement but you can check if anything exist or its value is true.

if this case you have to update json like:

{ "weeks": [    {
      "monday800": "no",
      "monday830": "available",
      "monday830_available": true, // you have to add another property here
      "tuesday800": "available",
      "tuesday830": "no",
      "name": "TEST"
     }
   ]
 }

Then you can check 

{{#monday830_available}}
     ..............
{{/monday830_available}}
