I am using meteor. I have a template which looks like this, ``` {{#each SearchPerson}} {{payload.uid}} {{payload.first_name}} {{payload.last_name}} Tennis {{#if payload.birthday}} {{payload.birthday}}, {{/if}} {{#if payload.sex}} {{payload.sex}} {{/if}} {{#if payload.hometown_location}} {{payload.hometown_location.city}}, {{payload.hometown_location.state}}, {{payload.hometown_location.country}} {{/if}} See Their Details {{/each}} ``` Now I want to check a null value for `{{payload.birthday…

I think you just need an `{{else}}` in there: ``` {{#if payload.birthday}} {{payload.birthday}} {{else}} No birthday found {{/if}} ```

Checking null value in meteor template

html, meteor, templates

Solution

I think you just need an `{{else}}` in there:

<span class="age_location">
    {{#if payload.birthday}}
        {{payload.birthday}}
    {{else}}
        No birthday found
    {{/if}}
</span>

Problem

I am using meteor. I have a template which looks like this, ``` <template name="SearchAct"> {{#each SearchPerson}} <div class="result"> <div class="resultContent"> <img src={{payload.pic_square}} alt="profile photo" class="floatLeft" /> <p>{{payload.uid}}</p> <span class="floatLeft"> {{payload.first_name}} <br/> {{payload.last_name}} </span> <input type="checkbox" class="floatRight" /> <h4>Tennis</h4> <span class="age_location"> {{#if payload.birthday}} {{payload.birthday}}, {{/if}} {{#if payload.sex}} {{payload.sex}} {{/if}} <br/> {{#if payload.hometown_location}} {{payload.hometown_location.city}}, {{payload.hometown_location.state}}, {{payload.hometown_location.country}} {{/if}} </span> <div class="line"></div> <a href="#" class="clear" onclick="renderProfile({{payload.uid}});">See Their Details</a> </div> </div> {{/each}} </template> ``` Now I want to check a null value for `{{payload.birthday}}`. Here if I get `null` value, I want to display a message. How could I check a `null` value?
