How to echo a default value if value not set blade

I would like to know what would be the best way to display a default value if the given value is not set. I have the following in a blade file (I can not guaranty that the key is set, it depends on a multitude of factors).

{{ $foo['bar'] }}

I would know if the following is the best way to go about it,

{{ (isset($foo['bar']) ? $foo['bar'] : 'baz' }}

or is there a better way to do this?

Thanks :)

Solution

  • Use php's null coalesce operator:

    {{ $variable ?? "Default Message" }}

    Removed as of Laravel 5.7

    With Laravel 4.1-5.6 you could simply do it like this:

    {{ $variable or "Default Message" }}

    It's the same as:

    echo isset($variable) ? $variable : 'Default Message';
