showing button on the if condition.

I am on symfony 4 and I am trying to show a button depending on the status of a property if it is sold or not

{ "data": "issold",
                        "orderable":false,
                        render : function ( data, type, row ) {
                            if (data){
                                return '<a href="/property/sold/' + row.id + '" title="Sold"><i class="material-icons" style="font-size:25px">attach_money</i></a>';
                            } else {
                                return '<a href="/property/sold/' + row.id + '" title="UnSold"><i class="material-icons" style="font-size:25px">money_off</i></a>';
                            }
                        }}

You will need to fix your if statement. Something like this:

if (data === 'Sold'){

it is a boolean type and still nothing
if (data === true){

I don't see anything that stands out as an issue. We would need to see your data to help. Without actually seeing the problem we would just be guessing. Can you put together a simple test case?

You could use a console log statement to see what the data is, for example:

                        render : function ( data, type, row ) {
                            console.log(data);
                            if (data){

I would suggest looking at the returned data using the browser's dev tools. Look at the network response. Is the issold object populated there?
