Opposite boolean property (negation)

Sometimes I want one boolean component property to both show something, and hide something else.

It would be cool to be able to not only assign a boolean property to layer visibility, but also to indicate that it should show the layer if the property is false.

Example scenario: Imagine a situation where I’m designing favourites section on the app’s sidebar. I want a sidebar to be a component. Now when favourites is empty, I want to show an empty state with a CTA instead of the CTA. And I want to add a toggle that both hides an empty state, and shows a list of favorite items.

Hey @Martin_Maricak, thanks for the feedback!

We’ll pass this idea onto our team for future consideration.

Yes please allow user to define property to opposite of boolean value!


This would save so much work - I have to always create additional booleans to cover for those scenario when hiding one thing needs to show something else.
