Example

In

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

Out

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

With a configuration file (Recommended)

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

Via CLI

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

Via Node API

require("@babel/core").transform("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.

Example

In

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

Out

var _object$foo;

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