{% hint style="info" %}
You can easily import all the functions from the `std` registry by including the following import statement in your code
```go
import "github.com/go-sprout/sprout/registry/std"
```
{% endhint %}
### hello
The function returns a simple greeting string, "Hello!" It serves as a basic test function to verify that the system is working correctly.
Name
Value
Signature
Hello() string
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Template Example" %}
```go
{{ hello }} // Output: Hello!
```
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
### default
The function returns the first non-empty value from a provided list of arguments. If the list is empty or the first value is empty, it returns a specified default value. If you're looking to find the first non-empty value from a list of multiple options, the [`Coalesce` ](#coalesce)function is a better choice.

Default(defaultValue any, given ...any) any
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Template Example" %}
```go
{{ .Nil | default "default" }} // Output: default
{{ "" | default "default" }} // Output: default
{{ "first" | default "default" }} // Output: first
{{ "first" | default "default" "second" }} // Output: second
```
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
### empty

Empty(given any) bool
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Template Example" %}
```go
{{ .Nil | empty }} // Output: true
{{ "" | empty }} // Output: true
{{ 0 | empty }} // Output: true
{{ false | empty }} // Output: true
{{ .Struct | empty }} // Output: false
```
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
