minus-squarekevincox@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 months agoI 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.

minus-squarekevincox@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up3·10 months agoWut? This is an automated optimizer. It is not worried about accidental assignment.
minus-squareSzethFriendOfNimi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoI agree it shouldn’t. But I’ve seen linters that automatically change it since they seem to be forcing practical conventions sometimes.
