devRanters: 1 or 2?

Any alternative?

For me I go with faster + readable one, in this case I chose 1 it is readable but I don't see any performance difference between both of them

Out of scope, which language is this? using a single quote for strings, I guess it is Javascript?

Number one definitely!

Prefer it to be readable and easy to get an overview of

Absolutely 1.

No. 1
Everything different is not acceptable

Kidding me? Even if you give million dollars, i won't switch to 2

Number 1, out of those two.

[user.first_name, user.last_name].join(' ').trim()

@gitpush yes JavaScript, the second was the original code by other dev, I hated it and the linter hated it, figured there must be a better way.

@Byscripts nice, didn't know how that would deal with null/undefined like that. Feels like I'm learning new things about JS all the time

@Byscripts definitely that is better. That is why I said 'out of those two' before because neither looked simple enough but I didn't want to test it.

I guess I'm the only one who likes 2 better?

@spongessuck probably not, but it doesn't feel like such a silly question now you have gone against the grain, so thanks!

Absolutely 2.

@bcye why? It's so unreadable for me

@DucksCanCode I hate to see a command on 2 or more lines. It makes me crazy 😂

@bcye what about chaining methods together? Do you do that all on one line?!?

@DucksCanCode umm what's that? Still beginner and don't have much PHP experiences.

@bcye like option one, where you have multiple method calls on the same line for the same object. I don't know if that's the proper name, that's just what I've always called it.

@bcye this is in javascript - basically what is done in the original post is:

1) create an array with first name & surname
2) .filter() takes the array created in step1, and applies a function on it, returning a new array with the filtered values
3) .join() takes the array returned from step2, and joins the array with a space

Chained methods is basically:
- Start with an element (array in this case)
- Apply multiple functions to the element to return new values

For each chain (.filter, .map, .join etc), the value is returned and passed to the next chain, manipulating your data

@yusijs ok never saw this in swift

I have read that function composition > chaining.

Also if pipes are approved in the new JS spec, function composition will look so much prettier
