null coalescing operator javascript code example

Example 1: double question mark javascript

//Similar to || but only returns the right-hand operand if the left-hand is null or undefined
0 ?? "other" // 0
false ?? "other" // false
null ?? "other" // "other"
undefined ?? "other" // "other"

Example 2: nullish coalesing

Expression:
	Left ?? Right
if left is null or undefined , then Right will be the value 

const a = '' ;
const b = undefined;

const c = a ?? 'default' ; // will give c =''
const d = b ?? 'default' ; // wil give d = 'default'

Example 3: logical nullish operator javascript

function config(options) {
  options.duration ??= 100;
  options.speed ??= 25;
  return options;
}

config({ duration: 125 }); // { duration: 125, speed: 25 }
config({}); // { duration: 100, speed: 25 }
