Checking if text fields are empty cause error in Swift 2

Question

I am trying to check if a textbox has no value.

When I do this:

if(userEmail?.isEmpty || userPassword?.isEmpty || userPasswordRepeat?.isEmpty)

I get the following error

I tried adding "?" before the ".isEmpty" but the error won't go away

Any ideas?

It's in the error message: Optional value not unwrapped. Use ! to unwrap a value and read up on optional values — Arc676

@EICaptain Is there a difference between textfield.text and textfield.stringValue? — Arc676

Try this....

if txtEmail.text?.isEmpty == true || txtPassword.text?.isEmpty == true || txtRePassword.text?.isEmpty == true{
        print("true")
}

If interested also in positive case, the following is an alternative solution for Swift 2:

let email = self.txtEmail.text where !email.isEmpty, let password = self.txtPassword.text where !password.isEmpty {
    //all fields are not nil && not empty
}else{
    //some field is nil or empty
}
