Creating a .bashrc function with encapsulated commands

Question

I'm trying to create a function in .bashrc to shortcut my MAMP commands. I want to do something like this:

mamp config

• Opens up MAMP's httpd.conf file for editing.

mamp restart

• Restarts the MAMP server.

I created a function in .bashrc called mamp():

function mamp {
  if [$1 == "config"]; then
    nano /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf
  fi

  if [$1 == "restart"]; then
    /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/apachectl restart
  fi
}

But that doesn't seem to work.

I get this error -bash: [config: command not found

I think all you need to do is add spaces in the if tests,

e.g.

if [ $1 == "config" ]; then
