``default``
===========
The ``default`` filter returns the passed default value if the value is
undefined or empty, otherwise the value of the variable:
.. code-block:: jinja
{{ var|default('var is not defined') }}
{{ var.foo|default('foo item on var is not defined') }}
{{ var['foo']|default('foo item on var is not defined') }}
{{ ''|default('passed var is empty') }}
When using the ``default`` filter on an expression that uses variables in some
method calls, be sure to use the ``default`` filter whenever a variable can be
undefined:
.. code-block:: jinja
{{ var.method(foo|default('foo'))|default('foo') }}
.. note::
Read the documentation for the :doc:`defined<../tests/defined>` and
:doc:`empty<../tests/empty>` tests to learn more about their semantics.
