Specifically, I need to write a command which changes its behavior if the option wide is turned on... So I need some kind of condition

if wide is on then do this, else do that. 

Can somebody point out how to do such condition in TeX ?

Pseudocode:

documentclassarticle
usepackageenumitem

begindocument
beginitemize[wide]
item
if@wide do "printthis list is wide and change rightmargin to 3cm"
else do "printthis list is not wide and change rightmargin to 2cm"
fi
enditemize
enddocument 

lists conditionals

  The wide option doesn't activate a different branch of code, it just changes some internal parameters of enumitem. It's easy to make the code detect if the option was used, but I think you won't get anything useful here. What exactly do you want to achieve with that?

You can hook into the definition of the wide option and make your conditional true. The value of the conditional is reset after the environment.

Note also that the wide option takes an argument. If you pass none, then parindent is used (i.e., beginitemize[wide] is the same as beginitemize[wide=parindent]).

However you should not try to change enumitem's internal parameters (they are internal for a reason) in the document. You should stick to the key-value interface it provides.

Anyhow, here it is:

documentclassarticle
usepackageenumitem
usepackageetoolbox

makeatletter
newififwide
patchcmdenitkv@enumitem@wide
 enit@align@left% <- Search
 widetrueenit@align@left% <- Replace
 FailedToPatch
makeatother

begindocument
beginitemize[wide]
item
ifwide textttwide was used
else textttwide was NOT used
fi
enditemize
beginitemize
item
ifwide textttwide was used
else textttwide was NOT used
fi
enditemize
enddocument

Here is a way you could use list styles, contained in macro settings.

documentclassarticle

defwidelistwide,itemindent=15pt,label=*,leftmargin=-1cm,rightmargin=-1cm
defnarrowlistitemindent=15pt,label=++,leftmargin=1cm,rightmargin=1cm

endstyledlist

beginstyledlist[narrowlist]
