I just tested and Terser will convert v === null || v === undefined to null==v. Personally I would prefer to read the code that explicitly shows that it is checking for both and let my minifier/optimizer worry about generating compact code.

Try changing to const === variable. That’s most likely what’s it doing to minimize the risk of accidental assignment.

[-] kevincox@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago

Wut? This is an automated optimizer. It is not worried about accidental assignment.

[-] SzethFriendOfNimi@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I agree it shouldn’t. But I’ve seen linters that automatically change it since they seem to be forcing practical conventions sometimes.

[-] kevincox@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago

Linters and minifers are completely different tools.

Good point. That’s what I get for shooting from the hip.

Thanks!
