Using date pipe in a conditional expression - Angular 2

Question

With the follow expression I'm expecting for Angular to interpolate a date (if not null) through the date pipe, but I get the proceeding error.

{{charge.offenseDate ? charge.offenseDate | date : 'No date'}}

EXCEPTION: Error: Uncaught (in promise): Template parse errors:
Parser Error: Conditional expression {{charge.offenseDate ? charge.offenseDate | date : 'No Date' }} requires all 3 expressions at the end of the expression

Is what I'm expecting possible, or just a...pipe dream :)

Answer 1

Just wrap it with ()

{{charge.offenseDate ? (charge.offenseDate | date) : 'No date'}}
