Without specific details about the exact code you’re working with, it’s a bit challenging to provide exact direction but here is a general guidance on how you might handle undefined values.
In most programming languages, “undefined” is indicative of a property or a variable that has not been defined in the current context. To prevent “undefined” from showing, you could use a conditional statement to check if the brand is defined before using it. If it’s undefined, then set it to a blank string or any default value of your choice.
For example, if you’re dealing with Javascript, the condition could be using a ternary operator:
const brand = admin.brand ? admin.brand : ''
. This code essentially means that ifadmin.brand
exists, it will be used. Otherwise, it will use an empty string. Or, if you are dealing with a language like Python, you might do something likebrand = admin['brand'] if 'brand' in admin else ''
. Adjust the code according to the language and framework you are using.Also, make sure the condition you added is in the correct place. You have to check the condition before you try to access the brand in your code, in order to prevent undefined values. If the problem persists, it could be useful to review function calls and data flow in your code.
