Magento2 Check value of attribute for IF statement

Question

I am trying to check if an attribute is set to yes then show this block.

<?php if($_item->getAttributeText('free_shipping_toggle')=='1'): ?>      
<?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('Magento\Cms\Block\Block')->setBlockId('free-shipping-list-marker')->toHtml();?>
<?php else: ?>
<!--Placeholder for other statement-->
<?php endif; ?>

Answer 1

If it's a boolean (Yes/No) attribute, then you can use:

if ($_item->getData('free_shipping_toggle'))

This will check if attribute exists and if yes what values it is.
