Have js-sdk pass strictNullChecks: true
#2112
Comments
strictNullChecks: true
Why is the flag important? What sorts of issues/benefit arise from [without] it? |
Short version; function thing(): number {
return null;
} Without this flag, TS will not raise an error on this. Long version; Typescript does not do a bunch of checks by default, as I've noted in #2116, One such erroneous behaviour is breaking upholding type-safety, this is the basis of TS, and nullability is a large part of this. In above example you can see what'd happen if this promise is not upheld, a callee could grab this "number", TS would recognise the return value as such, and while everything would look right while checking the program, at runtime, the program would crash or display weird behaviour (such as This rule is not enabled in js-sdk, and an example of the consequences could be #2035. The alternative to checking nullability would be that this nulls are be unchecked, such behaviour would then break the basics of TS' type safety, creating a false sense of security, and leading to headaches, programmer bugs, runtime nullability problems (propagated undefined and thrown errors on calling undefined as a function), and at worst, vulnerabilities. |

When checking #1817, and then looking at #983, i decided to take it upon myself to add a little bit more null-safety to the library.
When i added
strictNullChecks
to the config, 1147 errors popped up, most of these cascading from other errors.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
