Returns a string representation of the given value.
Example: `{{ value | as_str }}`
#### default
Returns the default value given only if the variable evaluated is not present in the context
and is therefore meant to be at the beginning of a filter chain if there are several filters.
Example: `{{ value | default(value=1) }}`
This is in most cases a shortcut for:
```jinja2
{% if value %}{{ value }}{% else %}1{% endif %}
```
However, only the existence of the value in the context is checked. With a value that `if` would
evaluate to false (such as an empty string, or the number 0), the `default` filter will not attempt
replace it with the alternate value provided. For example, the following will produce
"I would like to read more !":
```jinja2
I would like to read more {{ "" | default (value="Louise Michel") }}!
```
If you intend to use the default filter to deal with optional values, you should make sure those values
aren't set! Otherwise, use a full `if` block. This is especially relevant for dealing with optional arguments
passed to a macro.
### Built-in tests
Here are the currently built-in tests:
#### defined
Returns true if the given variable is defined.
#### undefined
Returns true if the given variable is undefined.
#### odd
Returns true if the given variable is an odd number.
#### even
Returns true if the given variable is an even number.
#### string
Returns true if the given variable is a string.
#### number
Returns true if the given variable is a number.
#### divisibleby
Returns true if the given expression is divisible by the arg given.
Example:
```jinja2
{% if rating is divisibleby(2) %}
Divisible
{% endif %}
```
#### iterable
Returns true if the given variable can be iterated over in Tera (i.e. is an array/tuple or an object).
#### object
Returns true if the given variable is an object (i.e. can be iterated over key, value).
#### starting\_with
Returns true if the given variable is a string and starts with the arg given.
Example:
```jinja2
{% if path is starting_with("x/") %}
In section x
{% endif %}
```
#### ending\_with
Returns true if the given variable is a string and ends with the arg given.
#### containing
Returns true if the given variable contains the arg given.
The test works on:
- strings: is the arg a substring?
- arrays: is the arg given one of the members of the array?
