Reference: Values and types

Values and types · rule

syntax.null_coalescing

Default for a missing value written with ??.

Area 2, Values and types; not declinable; the next step is usually the agent's.

A value that may be none is read with a match that handles both cases; the edit writes it.

example
type ProductName = Text {    min_length: 1}type Listing = Object {    name: ProductName    subtitle: ProductName?}function headline(listing: Listing) -> ProductName {    return listing.subtitle ?? listing.name}
text
