Check if falsy except zero in JavaScript

Question

I am checking if a value is not falsy with

if (value) {   .. } 

but I do want to accept zeros as a (non-falsy) value. How is this normally done? Would it be

if (value || value === 0) {   .. } 

or what?

Answer 1

if (value || value === 0) {   .. } 

is cleaner way, no problem.

Just for fun try this

val = 0; if(val){ console.log(val) } //outputs 0   **update - it used to be.. but now it seems it doesnt in chrome 

And

var val = 0; if(val){ console.log(val) } //outputs nothing 

Answer 2

I would use value || value === 0. It's fine whichever way you do it but IMO this is the cleanest option.
