Question

Is there a special reason to do:

if (!options || (options && options.booleanCondition))

Instead of:

if (!options || options.booleanCondition) 

I’m no javascript guru, so perhaps there’s a special case or reason why the author of that code wrote it that way.

Answer 1

i don’t see a reason to do

if (!options || (options && options.booleanCondition))

I’m no Guru but i’d stick to

if (!options || options.booleanCondition) 

and save a check to the fact that options is true: in fact if options is not true the first condition is true and the second is never evaluated since it’s an or condition.

That’s what i think
