If you have more than one condition, why you just not using an array rather than or?

let arr = [null, undefined, '']
if (x in arr) {
   // code
}

Yeah it's one way to do it but that still keeps the same if-else (or just no-return-statement) logic that we want to ideally get rid of. Here I'd also worry about the performance as if-else is costly and so is looping and here we'd have looping inside if-else. But I like this example — thank you!
