For the first one, just use default assignment for the arguments (e.g. `calculate(taxes = 0.05, description = "Default item")` - This only uses the default value if the value is `undefined` and not for `null`, which may be want you want for most cases, given the difference of meaning that they have, rather than treating them the same. This avoids a lot of unexpected behaviors and is more likely to throw type errors or invalid values at you so you can find and correct it quicker. You can also use object destructuring in arguments with default values, like `calculate({ price = 0.05, description = "Default item" } = {})`. Default assignment makes it more readable and behave more consistent with ECMAScript norms with regards to undefined/null values.

The problem with the first way is that, according to the ECMAScript spec, a SyntaxError will be thrown if the function body has a "use strict" directive.

If you are worried about browser support. Nullish coalescing and optional chaining can be compiled away using babel. a?.b gets transpiled into more or less (a === null) || (a === undefined) ? undefined : a.b a ?? b gets transpilled into (a !== null) || (a !== undefined) ? a : b (with a couple of temp variables thrown in in order to prevent evaluating your code multiple times) So you write nice clean code using the nullish goodies, and compile it into code that will run even in prehistoric browsers.

Because previously JS would tell you what went wrong and throw an error, and now it'd just go through and you might not even know something went wrong. I can see this being a huge debugging issue How does it work under the hood? Does it just do a regular if(!null && !undefined) check for you right in place where you did ?. or does it work somehow differently? What are performance hits on this? Does it slow down our code and if yes then how bad? What are the benefits of using this with TypeScript if there are? Would be great to have answers on those, I'm going to research

@AngryJoeIsRacist Super Racist Typescript is not an easier version of JavaScript. It's a superset of JavaScript, meaning all JavaScript is valid Typescript. I'd argue you shouldn't use Typescript until you have understood why you are using it and how vanilla JavaScript approaches the same issues. Because otherwise you're adding a lot of complexity and overhead for no reason.
@arnerademacker3 жыл бұрын
@AngryJoeIsRacist Super Racist You said - and stop me if I quote you incorrectly here - "you can make life harder on yourself" in response to my statement to "perhaps [not use Typescript]". Implying - and I will use simple deduction here, stop me if you have trouble following - that somehow there is an added cost to using Vanilla JS. I made arguments as to why that isn't the case. 1) JavaScript is easier. Which you just agreed on. So that's not the added cost. 2) JavaScript is valid TypeScript. A vast majority of issues you encounter in Vanilla JS you encounter in TypeScript. That's why it's relevant that TypeScript is a superset. (And comparing programming languages that literally contain the exact same vocabulary and grammar to spoken languages that do not is a false equivalent. But I'm guessing you know that.) So more issues in Vanilla JS is also not the added cost. 3) Typescript adds overhead and complexity, because it adds additional grammar (that's the complexity part) and requires you to use a lot of the additional grammar to get a use out of Typescript (that's the overhead part). That would mean Vanilla JS is both lower in complexity and lower in overhead. So that's not the added cost. Now that I have cleared that up for you, since apparently that was necessary, please, enlighten us as to why Typescript is supposed to "make life easier" instead of flailing at my comment line by line but provide no arguments of your own.

Oh dang, I got stumped on a coding challenge a week ago, and Nullish Coalescing literally solves the exact roadblock I ran in into.

I'm not even going to watch this. I liked it, and I thank you, for not making clickbaity titles like "No one knows these 5 js tricks!" or "5 tricks you NEED in 2021". Other channels have more subscribers than yours, and others have content that is more urgently relevant to what I do, but I really admire the way you run this channel, above many other youtubers. Top level stuff.

Wow the console log styling is going to be helpful, and adding that '?' check before accessing a variable of something really saved me. Thanks so much Kyle!!

I really needed that Optional Chaining for a React project I'm doing. Blew my mind.

I've seen object shorthand almost everywhere I didn't know nullish coalsescing, that's pretty useful

We've had these newer syntaxes in C# for a while, it's nice to see JavaScript has it too.

Really cool to see the optional chaining operator out of the box with JavaScript now, very useful

The default value tip is very cool, just a note for the example: >You could accidentally pass in a variable, the variable value is set to undefined and inside your code you need to make sure you handle that I think this is not a valid use-case for default values, in this case(a variable is accidentally undefined) your code should blow up ASAP... So if this is your only reason to do default values, just don't.

10:45 But I think if we use optional chaining for functions it only checks is our property defined, because if we pass a defined but non callable property before the question mark it will work but with an error.

I watched this video few months ago and made am mental note of all the cool things you showed. Well today I had to use the Optional Chaining and it absolutely saved me big time! Thank you very much!!!

As a novice to Javascript, these tips are amazing. I'm especially fond of being able to apply css to console logs!

C# says "Hi!". You're right about defer, it's pretty awesome.

1) Nullish Coalescing It's a nice feature but in terms of overriding a parameter, it's a very bad practice. For parameters, you could do (taxes = 0.25) => { .. } and achieve the same result. 2) Styling Console It's nice for debugging but not every logger supports it. Can be painful in some instances. 3) Optional Chaining It's a nice feature but the support is still scary for production without a back-end that can inject support for older browsers. 4) Object Shorthand This one is very useful in the back-end with nodeJS. It's indeed a very clean solution. 5) Defer / Async Loading Careful with this!! The behavior of Defer is very inconsistent. It's only implemented since 2011 and it originally had a lot of problems with async. Defer also doesn't allow inline scripts which makes it scary in development areas. In some instances, the code still loads but acts like async or even triggers errors that should never have occurred. Defer doesn't really add much to your code expect more logical errors.

Needed the nullish coalescing operator today and immediately thought of this! Thank you
