๐ Writing cleaner JavaScript with logical assignment operators
Ever found yourself writing verbose if statements just to set default values? There's a better way!
ES2021 introduced three game-changing operators that can transform your code:
||= (Logical OR Assignment)
?= (Nullish Coalescing Assignment)
&&= (Logical AND Assignment)
Why this matters:
โ
More readable and expressive code
โ
Shorter, cleaner syntax
โ
Better type safety in TypeScript
โ
Fewer bugs from type checking mistakes
These aren't just syntactic sugarโthey genuinely improve code quality and maintainability.
