no-non-null-asserted-nullish-coalescing

Disallow non-null assertions in the left operand of a nullish coalescing operator.

🔒

Extending "plugin:@typescript-eslint/strict" in an ESLint configuration enables this rule.

💡

Some problems reported by this rule are manually fixable by editor suggestions.

The ?? nullish coalescing runtime operator allows providing a default value when dealing with null or undefined. Using a ! non-null assertion type operator in the left operand of a nullish coalescing operator is redundant, and likely a sign of programmer error or confusion over the two operators.
