minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•8 months agoNo one checks those values explicitly. if (str) checks if it’s not null, undefined, or empty string. Optional chaining like if (arr?.length) checks if list is undefined, null, or empty array. Falsy and truthy comparators seem fucky in the beginning when coming from a strongly typed language. But they’re very convenient when used properly.

You have four fathers?
OP censors negative comments about Abbott

Ah ha, I found a JS dev lmfao

Beats having explicit null checks everywhere.
As opposed to null and undefined?
