Conditional settings based on data types do not work in the SDK

[theduncanclark]

For example if a setting has…

show_if: data.my_binding

… the setting will never show up in the SDK, whereas in the main app the setting will show and hide as designed, based on whether the binding is set.

I'd like to bump this as it continues to be very frustrating when developing templates.

I've just encountered this one again too!

Conditions such as:

data.points.value: true

seem to work ok in the SDK, but ones based on data types such as:

data.choropleth.value.type: number

work in the main app, but not the SDK.

[peterrcook-canva]

Another related case that works in published templates, but not the SDK is:

    overrides:
      - tag: discrete
        method: extend
        show_if:
          data.data.color.type: string
      - tag: numeric
        method: extend
        show_if:
          data.data.color.type: number

I also ran into this.

On a side note: Peter's example above uses "number" to check the binding type, but in the conditional settings section of the docs, it's "numeric":

show_if:
  - chart_mode: line
  - chart_mode: bar
    data.data.labels.type: numeric

Hi @maartenzam!

Just confirming, as Maarten spotted, the type should be number, not numeric.
