I have a template binding that displays a model attribute called 'date' which is a date, using Angular's date filter.
<span class="gallery-date">{{gallery.date | date:'mediumDate'}}</span>
So far so good. However at the moment, if there is no value in the date field, the binding displays nothing. However, I would like it to display the string 'Various' if there is no date.
I can get the basic logic using a binary operator:
<span class="gallery-date">{{gallery.date || 'Various'}}</span>
However I can't get it to work with the date filter:
<span class="gallery-date">{{gallery.date | date:'mediumDate' || "Various"}}</span>
How can I use the binary operator alongside the date filter?
Turns out all I needed to do was wrap the left-hand side of the expression in soft brackets:
<span class="gallery-date">{{(gallery.date | date:'mediumDate') || "Various"}}</span>
