how to replace undefined with a empty string
I am using jsPdf. When a field has been left blank "undefined" is printed on the pdf. I would like to replace that with a empty string. I am trying to use a if statement but I am not getting it. doc.text(30, 190, "Budget : $"); if ($scope.currentItem.JobOriginalBudget == "undefined") { doc.text(50, 190, " "); } else { var y = '' + $scope.currentItem.JobOriginalBudget; doc.text(50, 190, y); }; undefined is a primitive value . Instead of comparing against the identifier undefined , you're comparing against the 9-character string " undefined ". Simply remove the quotes: if ($scope.currentItem
