Assign 0 if the value is null or empty in Jquery

Question

I want to use a ternary operator for the below jQuery statement like if employee_salary is empty or null, I want to assign as 0 (zero). Otherwise, just assign the actual value.

jQuery('#employee_form #employee_salary').val(parseInt(selected_table_data['employee_salary']))

Answer 1

var employee_salary = selected_table_data['employee_salary'];
var salary_form_value = employeeSalary ? parseInt(employee_salary) : '0';
jQuery('#employee_form #employee_salary').val(salary_form_value);

// If you want to inline it, you could do the following:

jQuery('#employee_form #employee_salary').val(
  selected_table_data['employee_salary']
    ? parseInt(selected_table_data['employee_salary']
    : 0
);

Here is an example

const s1 = null;
console.log(s1 ? s1 : 'There was a null value');

const s2 = ''
console.log(s2 ? s2 : 'There was an empty string');

const s3 = 'value';
console.log(s3 ? s3 : 'There was no value');
