@babel/plugin-proposal-nullish-coalescing-operator

NOTE: This plugin is included in @babel/preset-env, in ES2020

Example

In

JavaScript
var foo = object.foo ?? "default";

Out

JavaScript
var _object$foo;

var foo =
(_object$foo = object.foo) !== null && _object$foo !== void 0
? _object$foo
: "default";

NOTE: We cannot use != null here because document.all == null and document.all has been deemed not "nullish".

Installation

npm install --save-dev @babel/plugin-proposal-nullish-coalescing-operator

Usage

babel.config.json
{
"plugins": ["@babel/plugin-proposal-nullish-coalescing-operator"]
}

Via CLI

Shell
babel --plugins @babel/plugin-proposal-nullish-coalescing-operator script.js

Via Node API

JavaScript
require("@babel/core").transformSync("code", {
plugins: ["@babel/plugin-proposal-nullish-coalescing-operator"],
});

Options

loose

boolean, defaults to false.

When true, this transform will pretend document.all does not exist, and perform loose equality checks with null instead of strict equality checks against both null and undefined.

⚠️ Consider migrating to the top level noDocumentAll assumption.

babel.config.json
{
"assumptions": {
"noDocumentAll": true
}
}

Example

In

JavaScript
var foo = object.foo ?? "default";

Out

JavaScript
var _object$foo;

var foo = (_object$foo = object.foo) != null ? _object$foo : "default";
