how to use if in a function in knockout js?

Question

Answer 1

You have used two different variables (nsct and nsc) and an operator that doesn't exist (=!). The last part of the condition would be interpreted as an assignment: nsc = (!"").

Also, the logic is wrong, there is no value that is null and an empty string at the same time, so the condition would always be true. You would use the && operator instead:

if (nsct != null && nsct != "") {
  self.view(true);
}

If you want to set it to false if the condition isn't true, then you would use an else also:

if (nsct != null && nsct != "") {
  self.view(true);
} else {
  self.view(false);
}

You can also do that by using the value of the condition:

self.view(nsct != null && nsct != "");
