Handling Null DOM Nodes
index.ts
When you use querySelector or similar DOM methods in TypeScript, the result can be null if no element matches the selector. This means you must handle the possibility that the returned node does not exist before accessing its properties. Failing to check for null can lead to runtime errors if you try to use a property or method on an object that does not exist.
TypeScript offers features to help you safely work with potentially null DOM nodes. Optional chaining (?.) allows you to access properties or call methods only if the object is not null or undefined. For example, input?.value = "TypeScriptUser"; will only set the value if input exists. Non-null assertions (!) tell TypeScript that you are sure the object is not null by writing input!.value = "TypeScriptUser";. However, using the non-null assertion operator is risky unless you are certain the element exists, because it bypasses TypeScript's safety checks.
Whenever you query the DOM, always consider whether the element might not be present and use these features appropriately to avoid errors and ensure your code remains robust.
