Typescript and filter Boolean

by

You can use functions like this

function nonNullable<T>(value: T): value is NonNullable<T> {
  return value !== null && value !== undefined;
}

type Truthy<T> = T extends false | '' | 0 | null | undefined ? never : T; // from lodash

function truthy<T>(value: T): value is Truthy<T> {
    return !!value;
}

[1, 2, 0, null].filter(nonNullable) // number[]
[1, 2, 0, null].filter(truthy) // number[]
