Just a few mins ago, did something like this.

“data.data.something” (this is not too bad though)

Are you sure you've got the data after all? Asking for a friend.

Reminds me of axios. Needed to do response.data just to access to the response sent from the backend api, which has its own data object, so response.data.data.

I'm in a project like that with a friend. Thing is he handles the backend in a language I don't really know. I'll be interested to see if I'll find some gems once I'm more familiar with it (which I'm working on doing)

You forgot the null checks

if(data && data.data && data.data.data && data.data.data.status && data.data.data.status === "success") 😬

@nitnip yeah that happens with Axios a lot. Plus Django REST framework wraps it in a {"detail": error}

Let me guess: Of course this isn't typescript, but plain js, right?

@ReverendLovejoy and that's why typescript should be a norm

@3rdWorldPoison Types aside, optional chaining is in ES too (actually that's where TS snagged it from IIRC), so the whole thing would be data?.data?.data?.status === "success".

Replace data with na

Then you will get na.na.na.na.na.batman!
