Can I make a suggestion for the code? That the non nullish check will be built in?

rp_st

Well, our code accepts only type string.

rp_st

So no point in having a non nullish check

(from our point of view)

This is what happens when I dont have the code

rp_st

04/10/2022, 1:01 PM

Ah right I see. Ok makes sense

Dhr_RT

04/10/2022, 1:01 PM

I can easily set the ! to it

You could open an issue about this and we can work on this as and when we come around to it 🙂

for now you can do

process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID as any

Dhr_RT

04/10/2022, 1:02 PM

just to fully understand, what is the main difference from that compared to

process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID!

rp_st

04/10/2022, 1:03 PM

nothing.

process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID!

is better
