    For the first one, just use default assignment for the arguments (e.g. `calculate(taxes = 0.05, description = "Default item")` - This only uses the default value if the value is `undefined` and not for `null`, which may be want you want for most cases, given the difference of meaning that they have, rather than treating them the same. This avoids a lot of unexpected behaviors and is more likely to throw type errors or invalid values at you so you can find and correct it quicker. You can also use object destructuring in arguments with default values, like `calculate({ price = 0.05, description = "Default item" } = {})`. Default assignment makes it more readable and behave more consistent with ECMAScript norms with regards to undefined/null values.

    I am still surprised at how underused destructuring is everywhere in javascript today in favour of dot notation. I never understood why it never caught on. product.title, product.price? does that help with the readability or is it useless repetition.

    13:40 it's striking through "name" because it assumes you're writing for a browser and the "name" property exists in the global scope (on the "window" object). It's trying to save you from confusion, although AFAIK this doesn't in fact create any problems.

    13:30 This is really good to use if you need to build deeply nested complex objects (maybe to turn into JSON). You can build it inside out by building the inner most objects, then just including them in their parent, all the way up to the root element. Much more readable and flexible as every sub-object has a reference, and you avoid the Xmas tree of deep nesting.

    Thanks for showing those! Optional chaining looks really interesting to me however I have so many question on what are the caveats like How does it affect debugging? Because previously JS would tell you what went wrong and throw an error, and now it'd just go through and you might not even know something went wrong. I can see this being a huge debugging issue How does it work under the hood? Does it just do a regular if(!null && !undefined) check for you right in place where you did ?. or does it work somehow differently? What are performance hits on this? Does it slow down our code and if yes then how bad? What are the benefits of using this with TypeScript if there are? Would be great to have answers on those, I'm going to research

    "name" is a javascript keyword. That's why you shouldn't use it as a name ("identifier") for a variable. It is an attribute of functions which holds (Surprise, surprise!) the name of this function. So the command Func1.name will give you Func1 if Func1 is a function... Also it can be useful when used aside set, get, bind or classes.

    ​@AngryJoeIsRacist Super Racist Typescript is not an easier version of JavaScript. It's a superset of JavaScript, meaning all JavaScript is valid Typescript. I'd argue you shouldn't use Typescript until you have understood why you are using it and how vanilla JavaScript approaches the same issues. Because otherwise you're adding a lot of complexity and overhead for no reason.

    ​@AngryJoeIsRacist Super Racist You said - and stop me if I quote you incorrectly here - "you can make life harder on yourself" in response to my statement to "perhaps [not use Typescript]". Implying - and I will use simple deduction here, stop me if you have trouble following - that somehow there is an added cost to using Vanilla JS. I made arguments as to why that isn't the case. 1) JavaScript is easier. Which you just agreed on. So that's not the added cost. 2) JavaScript is valid TypeScript. A vast majority of issues you encounter in Vanilla JS you encounter in TypeScript. That's why it's relevant that TypeScript is a superset. (And comparing programming languages that literally contain the exact same vocabulary and grammar to spoken languages that do not is a false equivalent. But I'm guessing you know that.) So more issues in Vanilla JS is also not the added cost. 3) Typescript adds overhead and complexity, because it adds additional grammar (that's the complexity part) and requires you to use a lot of the additional grammar to get a use out of Typescript (that's the overhead part). That would mean Vanilla JS is both lower in complexity and lower in overhead. So that's not the added cost. Now that I have cleared that up for you, since apparently that was necessary, please, enlighten us as to why Typescript is supposed to "make life easier" instead of flailing at my comment line by line but provide no arguments of your own.

    default assignments are "undefined"... And if you do set a default value yourself, VSCode will let you know what type is expected if you arent using typescript. so if you create something like function test ( arg = [] ) {}; VSCode will tell you that arg is expected to be an array.

    Project C# was designed to mimic Java. Over the years the language evolved so much that I see almost every modern language is using many C# ideas, like: 1. Lambda expressions = Arrow functions; 2. WPF Grid ~= CSS Grid; 3. TPL Lib/Async = Async/Await in JS; 3. Syntactic sugar = the stuff mentioned in your blog and more. Now, in my opinion, is time to add another ultimate C# technique - pattern matching, like: if (kyle is Person person && person.address != null){ //we have the assign and check in one expression person.print(); printPersonStreet(person); }

    ​@@can_pacis That's not what @vmalvoq meant. He meant why not just use default parameter values. function calculateCost( itemCost, taxRate = 0.05, itemName = 'unknown item' ) { const totalCost = itemCost * (1 + taxRate); console.log(itemName + ' costs $' + totalCost); } The main difference is that the default parameter value is only used if the parameter value is undefined. In my above example function, if the taxRate or itemName are null, the default value on the parameter will not be used. > calculateCost(100, 0.07, 'my item'); > my item costs $107 > > calculateCost(100, undefined, undefined); > unknown item costs $105 > > calculateCost(100, undefined, ''); > costs $105 > > calculateCost(100, null, null); > null costs $100

    For the one with the default argument values, did you know you could just pass them like this? function calculatePrice(price, taxes = 0.5, description = "Default item") { ... } This will do the exact same but it will allow you to not even have to specify the last two arguments, as it will take the default value. For example, you could do this: calculatePrice(10); // which is valid but calculatePrice(10, 0.75); is also valid!

    new to optional chaining here. very expressive, love it. it's amazing how much ES has grown in the past 20 years in terms of its feature set. It was pretty good even back in the 2000s, once we hit a normal DOM and got away from the ugly Netscape and IE5 ways of doing things, but I could not guess it would become like this. Heck, I hear it even has monads now! after such a long time away it now seems endless as an ocean that I cannot be sure if I'll be ever to the end of. There used to be a time when you could "know" JS (ver 1.3 for example), but now one can probably speak only of some subset of it. Sort of like CSS too: that spec has grown so huge that it would be a full time job just staying on top of new features from day to day with no time left for actual development, heh!

    In this nullish coalescing example - it is indeed good example to clearly show how does it work, but people please - in situations like this one, in commercial non-personal projects use default argument values instead. It will work completely the same, it's more readable and also provides you better developer experience by allowing you to check what the default value is by mouseover on function name in some IDE's like VSCode or WebStorm/PHPStorm, without needing to jump into the source code and analyzing where the heck the default value assign is

    If you are worried about browser support. Nullish coalescing and optional chaining can be compiled away using babel. a?.b gets transpiled into more or less (a === null) || (a === undefined) ? undefined : a.b a ?? b gets transpilled into (a !== null) || (a !== undefined) ? a : b (with a couple of temp variables thrown in in order to prevent evaluating your code multiple times) So you write nice clean code using the nullish goodies, and compile it into code that will run even in prehistoric browsers.
