Note that an attribute (either literal or set via data-sly-attribute) whose value evaluates to the empty string will be removed in the final markup. The one exception to this rule is that a literal attribute set to a literal empty string will be preserved. For example,

For example,

So, try to set a literal value to the attribute if its null.

Hi @user05162

<div class="" data-sly-attribute.id=""></div> is not producing <div class=""></div>, but <div class></div>.

Any idea how we could set empty attribute value e.g. <img alt="" scr="/content/dam" />

I am trying <img src="${jorvee.image}" alt="${jorvee.imageAlt || ''}"/> but final HTML is getting generated like this <img src="/contant/dam/abc.jpg" /> when imageAlt is empty.

Thank you
