Using Thymeleaf when the value is null

Question

I have some values in my database which can be null if they have not already been entered.

But when I use Thymeleaf in my html, it gives an error when parsing null values.

Is there any way to handle this?

Answer 1

I use

<div th:text ="${variable != null} ? (${variable != ''} ? ${variable} : 'empty string message') : 'null message' "></div>

Answer 2

   <p data-th-text ="${#strings.defaultString(yourNullable,'defaultValueIfYourValueIsNull')}"></p>
