<p>Why does the empty string return as a true value in the vue template? </p> <pre class="brush:php;toolbar:false;"><div>{{ "" ?? "The empty string is not a true value" }}</div></pre> <p>This will only display empty strings. I have a lot of empty string fields that cannot be checked with the null coalescing operator (??), instead I have to use the ternary operator: </p> <pre class="brush:php;toolbar:false;"><div>{{ "" ? "String is empty" : "String is not empty" }}</div></ pre> <p><code>"" ??</code>Shouldn’t it be wrong? </p>
