Does Javascript support the short ternary (rather, variation of) as in PHP?

php javascript ternary-operator short-circuiting

var data = {    key: value || 'default'};

php javascript ternary-operator short-circuiting

Yes, use ||. Unlike PHP, JavaScript's || operator will return the first non-falsy value, not a normalized boolean.

foo || 'world'

php javascript ternary-operator short-circuiting

var myFunc = function(foo) {  foo = foo || 'my default value for foo';}
