The nullish coalescing operator ??
allows providing a default value when dealing with null
or undefined
. It
only coalesces when the original value is null
or undefined
. Therefore, it is safer and shorter than relying upon chaining
logical ||
expressions or testing against null
or undefined
explicitly.
This rule reports when disjunctions (||
) and conditionals (?
) can be safely replaced with coalescing
(??
).
The TSConfig needs to set strictNullChecks
to true
for the rule to work properly.
