I'm pretty sure typescript has something like this ... I know because my last angular project came to a point where I used the ? in a way similar to this to disambiguate values extracted from defined types in the app. Nothing major (it was my first project) but I definitely remember finding usage of "?" as a means of testing type attributes without using a long if condition with explicit null checking. I'll have to confirm by looking at my project code.
Interestingly enough today at work I opened up the project in question and was unable to find where I used the "?" in the typescript. I think it may have been in an html file using an ng directive but had to switch off to other work before I finalized my search.
Neither do I but it's what drives the syntax support in Visual Studio Code :)
So, even when just working with JavaScript, you may still get errors in VSC - even though it will run absolutely fine. It can throw some red herrings for devs who aren't aware why, so just thought I'd mention it.
Not for what I'm talking about, no. Whether TS and Babel can work, when writing TS, is a question for someone that uses TS :)
I'm referring to the VSC built-in JS/TS validator. It can be disabled by updating the settings.json file to include "javascript.validate.enable": false and/or "typescript.validate.enable": false. If they are disabled ESLint can take over and show the appropriate errors.
It's probably worth mentioning that TypeScript don't have support for this feature yet (AFAIK), so could lead to some IDE 'errors'.
There is also no plugin to add them into TS support syntax checking yet, so we have to live with the errors or disable TS checks.
Thanks for mentioning this!
I don't work with TS that often but I think at some point they will support it :)
does TS support babeljs? if yes maybe they can work together right now? 🤔

Are you maybe referring to Ternary operators?

You could be right...I'll confirm again tomorrow.

VSC will show an error if you don't configure it!
I just got used to seeing the error 🤣
They plan to add it in TS 3.7.0! 😁
Nice I really need to try TS at some point :)
