I want to show or hide caret icons based on menu items is present or not. if menu items present show caret icon else hide it. i am using bootstrap4 and in my case dropdown menu items will by dynamically generated.
.dropdown-toggle::after {
display:none;!important
}
Above code removes caret symbol but how to show/hide it based on the menu in dropdown present or not ?
.dropdown-toggle::after {
display:none !important;
}

Use .hide()
if no items inside $('.dropdown-menu .dropdown-item').length==0
$( document ).ready(function() {
if($('.dropdown-menu .dropdown-item').length==0 )
{
$('.fas.fa-shopping-cart').hide();
}
});

Only css use only-child:
.dropdown button:only-child .fas.fa-shopping-cart{
display:none;
}

Make a class saying .hidden
and add display none property to it like.
.hidden {
display:none !important
}
and in your JS do this:
$(document).ready(function(){
var hasElement = $(".dropdown-menu" ).has("a");
hasElement.length == 0 ? $(".dropdown-toggle").addClass("hidden") : $(".dropdown-toggle").removeClass("hidden")
});
