# buildEither(first:)

Builds a partial result from a condition that’s true.

```
static func buildEither<T1, T2>(first: T1) -> BuilderConditional<T1, T2> where T1 : ChartContent, T2 : ChartContent
```

## Parameters

`first`

The content to use if the condition is `true`.

## Discussion

This method provides support for `if` statements with an `else` clause
and `switch` statements. It produces optional chart content that is
visible when the condition evaluates to `true`.
