Question

Can the javascript shorthand for if-else return out of a function? If so how would this work.

eg.
I have this:

if(boolean){
 return;
}

and I would like to write it as this:

(value)? return;

Chrome complains that return is unexpected. Is there anyway to write something like this so that it is valid?

No, you can’t do that unless you return a value. For example if your function had to return a value you could have written:

return boolean ? 'foo' : 'bar';

But you cannot stop the execution of the function by returning void using the conditional operator.
