Conditional Ternary Operators |
Conditional Ternary Operators
Basic usage
The ternary operator is a compact way to write an if-else inside an expression.
const thing = (condition) ? <if true> : <if false>;
E.g.
const cappedInput = input > 50 ? 50 : input // this will cap the input at 50
Else if
You can also chain ternary operators, this way you will have an if-else if-else behaviour
<first condition> ? <value if first true>
: <second condition> ? <value if second is true>
: <fallback value>
Pro tip: As you see you can split the ternary operator on multiple lines E.g.
const wealth = housesOwned > 3 ? "rich"
: housesOwned > 1 ? "nothing to complain"
: "poor"
