Checking null condition in sightly

[#1]

<div data-sly-use.dailogvalue="org.dell.emc.aem.dellemcsupport.core.models.DropDownModel"/>

<div data-sly-test="${dailogvalue.fullName}"> ${dailogvalue.fullName}</div>

I am getting error :

Caused by: org.apache.sling.models.factory.MissingElementsException: Could not inject all required fields into class org.dell.emc.aem.dellemcsupport.core.models.DropDownModel

Could not inject private java.lang.String org.dell.emc.aem.dellemcsupport.core.models.DropDownModel.fullName caused by No injector returned a non-null value!

As i am not providing any value to fullName parameter but data-sly-test command is not handling the null value. Please suggest what i am doing wrong.

Hi,

you need to add @Optional in your case if property values are not mandatory

Please check Apache Sling :: Sling Models

[#3]

By making @Optional to property means if its not required. If some property is giving null value then how to check in sightly.

I think this is alternative solution but not to correct to check the null value.

Please correct me if i am wrong

Thanks,

Hi,

The issue is with Sling Model because of missing values properties, you need to make @Optional so that Model will returns null and sightly you can check with data-sly-test like <div data-sly-test="${dailogvalue.fullName}"> ${dailogvalue.fullName}</div>

[#5]

This to me is a sling-model issue/feature, can you share your code of this sling-model?

[#6]

Sorry, I have dialog and there is property full name . When i drag and drop component then this error comes.

But after providing value to property full name it get reflected to page.

While drag and drop time how to check null value condition in sightly. 

[#7]

package org.dell.emc.aem.dellemcsupport.core.models;

import java.util.Date;

import javax.inject.Inject;

import org.apache.sling.api.resource.Resource;

import org.apache.sling.models.annotations.Model;

import org.apache.sling.models.annotations.Optional;

@Model(adaptables=Resource.class)

public class DropDownModel {

  private String result;

  @Inject

  private String fullName;

  @Inject

  private String country;

  public String getDate() {

  return date;

  }

  @Inject

  private String date;

  public String getResult() {

  result=fullName+"satish";

  return result;

  }

  public String getCountry() {

  return country;

  }

  public String getFullName() {

  return fullName;

  }

}

Hi,

The issue is with Model class, add @Optional with @Inject e.g.

@Inject @Optional

  private String fullName;

[#9]

Is there no option with out giving @optional annotation.?

[#10]

I find the solution without using @Optional annotation.

<sly data-sly-test.div="${properties.fullName && properties.country && properties.date }">

<pre data-sly-use.dv="org.dell.emc.aem.dellemcsupport.core.models.DropDownModel">

${dv.fullName}

${dv.date}

${dv.country}

</pre>

</sly>

<sly data-sly-test ="${!div}">

<pre>

enter value through dialog

</pre>

</sly>

Now when there no input from dialog then  "enter value through dialog" this will print in the page.

Thanks,

Satish
