# Nullish coalescing operator '??' | ||
[recent browser="new"] | ||
El _nullish coalescing operator_ `??` brinda una sintáxis corta para seleccionar la primera variable "definida" de una lista. | ||
EzequielCaste marked this conversation as resolved. Show resolvedHide resolvedUh oh!There was an error while loading.Please reload this page. | ||
El resultado de `a ?? b` es: | ||
- `a` si esta no es `null` o `undefined`, | ||
- `b`, en el caso contrario. | ||
Entonces, `x = a ?? b` es la versión corta de: | ||
```js | ||
x = (a !== null && a !== undefined) ? a : b; | ||
``` | ||
Aquí un ejemplo más detallado. | ||
Pensemos que tenemos un `firstName`, `lastName` o `nickName`, todos ellos opcionales. | ||
Escojamos el que esté definido y mostrémoslo (o mostremos "Anonymous" si ninguno está definido): | ||
```js run | ||
let firstName = null; | ||
let lastName = null; | ||
let nickName = "Supercoder"; | ||
// Muestra la primera variable que no sea null/undefined | ||
alert(firstName ?? lastName ?? nickName ?? "Anonymous"); // Supercoder | ||
``` | ||
## Comparación con || | ||
Esto es muy similiar al operador OR `||`. De hecho, podemos reemplazar `??` con `||` en el código anterior y obtener el mismo resultado. | ||
La gran diferencia es que: | ||
- `||` retorna el primer valor _*truthy*_. | ||
- `??` retorna el primer valor _*defined*_. | ||
Esto es de suma importancia cuando queremos tratar `null/undefined` diferente de `0`. | ||

Por ejemplo: | ||
```js | ||
height = height ?? 100; | ||
``` | ||
Esto le asigna `100` a `height` si esta no está definida. En cambio si `height` es `0`, esta se mantiene "tal cual". | ||
Comparémoslo con `||`: | ||
```js run | ||
let height = 0; | ||
alert(height || 100); // 100 | ||
alert(height ?? 100); // 0 | ||
``` | ||
En este caso, `height || 100` maneja `height` con un valor de `0` como no asignada, al igual que con `null`, `undefined` o cualquier otro valor _falsy_, dependiendo de la situación, esto puede ser incorrecto. | ||
En el caso de `height ?? 100` este retorna `100` solo si `height` es exactamente `null` o `undefined`. | ||
## Precedencia | ||
La precedencia del operador `??` es bastante baja: `7` en la [Tabla MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/es/docs/Web/JavaScript/Referencia/Operadores/Operator_Precedence#Table). | ||
Es más baja que en la mayoría de los operadores y un poco más alta que `=` y `?`. | ||
Así que si necesitas usar `??` en una expresión compleja, considera añadir paréntesis: | ||
```js run | ||
let height = null; | ||
let width = null; | ||
// Importante: usar paréntesis | ||
let area = (height ?? 100) * (width ?? 50); | ||
alert(area); // 5000 | ||
``` | ||
Caso contrario, si omitimos los paréntesis, entonces `*` tiene una mayor precedencia y se ejecutará primero. Eso sería lo mismo que: | ||
```js | ||
// Incorrecto | ||
let area = height ?? (100 * width) ?? 50; | ||
``` | ||
Existe también una limitación a nivel del lenguaje. Por razones de seguridad, está prohibido usar `??` junto con los operadores `&&` y `||`. | ||
El siguiente código desencadena un error de sintáxis: | ||
```js run | ||
let x = 1 && 2 ?? 3; // Syntax error | ||
``` | ||
La limitación es sin duda alguna debatible, pero por ciertas razones fue agregada a la especificación del lenguaje. | ||
Usa paréntesis explícitos para solucionarlo: | ||
```js run | ||
let x = (1 && 2) ?? 3; // Funciona | ||
alert(x); // 2 | ||
``` | ||
## Resumen | ||
- El _nullish coalescing operator_ `??` proveé una manera concisa de seleccionar un valor "definido" de una lista. | ||

Es usado para asignar valores por defecto a las variables: | ||
```js | ||
// Asignar height=100, si height es null o undefined | ||
height = height ?? 100; | ||
``` | ||
- El operador `??` tiene una precedencia muy baja, un poco más alta que `?` y `=`. | ||
- Está prohibido su uso con `||` y `&&` sin paréntesis explícitos. |
