Vue string matching in handlebars {{myString !== “” ? myString : otherString}}

{{myString !== "" ? myString : otherString}} is currently printing myString which is an empty string
What is wrong with my comparator? I also tried using single quotes
The reason I ask this seemingly basic question is because the Vue documentation on handlebars doesn't seem to cover this, aside from letting me know that general javascript is available, I thought this comparator was general javascript for strings

i tried your example by settingmyString:""andotherString:"test"and i set{{myString !== "" ? myString : otherString}}in my template which prints test, i think you have an issue somewhere else

DoesmyString.trim() !== ""perhaps have an effect on the output? CanmyStringbe null or undefined instead of""?

@JonathanLonowski yes it can. The model says myString should be a string but the mongodb object may not have that key, currently

@JonathanLonowski the answer was just usingif(value)so therefore{{ myString ? ... : ... }}

The ternary operator works fine on the template.
Check your myString data it might not be empty.
<div>Empty: {{myString === "" ? 'test' : otherString}}<div>
<div>Non Empty: {{myString !== "" ? 'test' : otherString}}<div>
See the example below.
var app = new Vue({
el: '#app',
data() {
return {
myString: "",
otherString: "blah"
}
},
})<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue@2.5.17/dist/vue.js"></script>
<div id="app">
<div>Empty: {{myString === "" ? 'test' : otherString}}<div>
<div>Non Empty: {{myString !== "" ? 'test' : otherString}}<div>
