Datatable column formatter not called when null

In a datatable, one of the columns has a format: function(value){…}
This will format the provided value.

But it seems that if the value from the dataset is a null, the formatting function is not called at all. Why not?

I would like it to provide a default value to show in the column, even if a null.

This is expected.
By default datatable automatically convert null and undefined values to empty content. If you want to have a custom logic, it needs to be placed in template instead of the format property.

Perfect, working as I want it to now.

Thank you.
