176. undefined to null
Share
medium - accepted / - tried
One of the differences between null and undefined is
how they are treated differently in JSON.stringify()
.
JSON.stringify({a: null}) // '{"a":null}'JSON.stringify({a: undefined}) // '{}'JSON.stringify([null]) // '[null]'JSON.stringify([undefined]) // '[null]'
This difference might create troubles if there are missing alignments between client and server. It might be helpful to enforce using only one of them.
You are asked to implement undefinedToNull()
to return a copy that has all undefined replaced with null.
undefinedToNull({a: undefined, b: 'BFE.dev'})// {a: null, b: 'BFE.dev'}undefinedToNull({a: ['BFE.dev', undefined, 'bigfrontend.dev']})// {a: ['BFE.dev', null, 'bigfrontend.dev']}
