Nullable Type Icon Helpers

These helpers are for nullable types and will either show the value of the object, or a font-awesome icon if there is no value. Currently we support the following types.

• bool
• DateTime
• decimal
• int
• string

The idea behind these helpers is that you can reduce code such as this

@if(Model.UpdatedDate.HasValue)
{
    @Model.UpdatedDate
}
else
{
    <span class="fas fa-minus"></span>
}

Down to this

<date-time-font-awesome-icon Value="@Model.UpdatedDate" />
