Add replaceIfBlank string filter?

[mikecarroll]

I'm looking for a string filter that replaces a null or empty string with a desired input. For example:

<p>{{ "" | replaceIfBlank:"N/A" }}</p>
<!--result: <p>N/A</p>-->

<h2>{{ null | replaceIfBlank:"Title not given" }}</h2>
<!--result: <n2>Title not given</h2>-->

Happy to build this myself and contribute via a PR, if it sounds useful and isn't already included here or in the native Angular filters (but just being overlooked by me).

Hi @mikecarroll , what about using the || operator, e.g:

  <p>{{ '' || 'N/A' }}</p>
  <p>{{ null || 'N/A' }}</p>

let me know what do you think..
see: jsbin

I agree with @a8m, I think || is simple enough.

Yeah, very elegant. Embarrassed I didn't think of it in the first place.

Thanks!
