It changes

p { padding-top: 10px;
padding-right: 20px;
padding-bottom: 30px;
padding-left: 40px; }

to

p{padding:10px 20px 30px 40px}

Changes colors (e.g. #336699) to it’s shorter forms.

p { margin-top: 10px;
margin-right: 20px;
margin-bottom:  30px;
margin-left: 40px; }

to

p{margin:10px 20px 30px 40px}

When JavaScript evaluates 0 && anything the result will always be 0 because 0 is falsy, so it doesn’t evaluate the right side of the &&

console.log(0 && true) // 0 - falsy, right side not evaluated
console.log(0 && false) // 0 - falsy, right side not evaluated
console.log(false && true) // falsy, right side not evaluated
console.log(false && false) // falsy, right side not evaluated

Look at these too:

console.log(1 && true) // true, right side evaluated
console.log(1 && false) // false, right side evaluated
console.log(1 && false) // false, right side evaluated
console.log(1 && false) // false, right side evaluated

The solution? Use a ternary to be explicit.

Sometimes we need to check the existence/truthiness of properties on objects/classes. For example, this is how we generally write it:

if (family && family.mother && family.mother.child){
     console.log(family.mother.child);
}

This can be written in short like this:

console.log(family?.mother?.child);

The magical operator being used here i.e. ?. is called the Optional chaining operator.

Shorten code for decimal numbers using exponential notation instead of 0s

In javascript, N number of 0s after a number can be replaced with eN

Example:

5e4 = 50000

7e2 = 700

7e0 = 7

7e1 = 70

For loops can be shortened and cleaned. Let’s see an example:

Long-form:

const friends = ['amar', 'akbar', 'anthony'];for (let i = 0; i < friends.length; i++){    console.log(friends[i]);}

Short / clean form:

const friends = ['amar', 'akbar', 'anthony'];for (const friend in friends){    console.log(friend);}

Check for synchronous code in Nodejs process:

The command-line utility --trace-sync-io tells us about synchronous tasks.

Example use:

node --trace-sync-io index.js

Sometimes we need to assign only truthy (not undefined/null/empty) values to our variables.

It is done like this:

if (myVar !== null && myVar !== 'undefined' && myVar !== '') {
   yourVar = myVar;
}
else {
  yourVar = 'new default value';
}

This can be optimized as:

yourVar = myVar || 'new default value';
