Working with timestamps

[Item.data.value] ?? “Pick a date”

Is probably what you’re looking for. Nullish coalescing operator (??) - JavaScript | MDN

Hi @Broberto,

The issue is that I need to use the formatDate() function (Date plugin). I get timestamps from Xano like -‭823219200000‬. When I don’t use formatDate() The placeholder just shows -‭823219200000‬. When I use formatDate() the correct date 1943-12-01 is shown. But when I use formatdate() and the value from Xano is null the error “First parameter must be a string date” pops up in Weweb.

You can try with ternary operator. It would be something like this:

item.data.value ? formatdate(item.data.value) : 'pick a date'
