Hi, I have a class like this class User(val name: String = "test") and I have a place where I do this val user = User(nullableString), is there a way to say that if the nullableString is null, use the default value ?

[Luke]

No, the best would be nullableString?.let(::User) ?: User()

[Arilson José de Oliveira Júnior]

The question is why you would like to do this? You can just say val user = User()

[Ayfri]

No Arlison as I have to use the value anyway, but I've used a second constructor with a name: String? = null parameter instead

Or class User(name: String?) { val name: String = name ?: “test” }
