Description
Setting TSConfig
strictNullChecks: true
can help avoid numerous runtime errors by catching unhandlednull
/undefined
cases at compiletime. R11s has had this disabled for a very long time, and the code has not handled nulls very well because of it.This PR
Breaking Changes
Many types now have
| null
or| undefined
added to reflect the actual, implemented return/param values. Behavior should not be changing, but types are.Reviewer Guidance
This ended up being a large PR. I tried to keep the changes focused purely to handling undefined and null explicitly. This ended up requiring that I add a lot of
| null
andeslint-ignore-next-line @rushstack/no-new-null
. These should be switched to| undefined
with explicit conversion ofnull -> undefined
where needed, but I did not want to rock the boat too much.
