Angularjs Template Default Value if Binding Null / Undefined (With Filter)

Turns out all I needed to do was wrap the left-hand side of the expression in soft brackets:

<span class="gallery-date">{{(gallery.date | date:'mediumDate') || "Various"}}</span>

How can I use the binary operator alongside the date filter?

<span class="gallery-date">{{gallery.date | date:'mediumDate' || "Date Empty"}}</span>

you also try:

<span class="gallery-date">{{ gallery.date == 'NULL' ? 'mediumDate' : "gallery.date"}}</span>

Just in case you want to try something else. This is what worked for me:

Based on Ternary Operator which has following structure:

condition ? value-if-true : value-if-false

As result:

{{gallery.date?(gallery.date | date:'mediumDate'):"Various" }}

I made the following filter:

angular.module('app').filter('ifEmpty', function() {
    return function(input, defaultValue) {
        if (angular.isUndefined(input) || input === null || input === '') {
            return defaultValue;
        }

        return input;
    }
});

To be used like this:

<span>{{aPrice | currency | ifEmpty:'N/A'}}</span>
<span>{{aNum | number:3 | ifEmpty:0}}</span>
