Jinja2 template variable if None Object set a default value

Question

How to make a variable in jijna2 default to \"\" if object is None instead of doing something like this?

      {% if p %}   
        {{ p.User[\'first_name\'         


        

Answer 1

According to docs you can just do:

{{ p|default('', true) }}

Cause None casts to False in boolean context.

Update: As lindes mentioned, it works only for simple data types.
