Question: format a property that has a null value?

[rjperes]

How can I add a custom formatter that will be executed for a null property? I would like to replace all/some of my null properties with something like "N/A", is this at all possible? Thanks!

Hi. Yeah you can do that with a Value Converter.

Easiest way is to add it as the first converter within the settings, something like:

static TryGetResult NullConverter(object? value, string tokenName) => value is null ? TryGetResult.Success("N/A") : default;
var converters = (new TokenValueConverter[] { NullConverter }).Concat(StringTokenFormatterSettings.Default.ValueConverters).ToList();

var customSettings = StringTokenFormatterSettings.Default with {
    ValueConverters = converters
};
