title: Is there a "null coalescing" operator in JavaScript?
body: <p>Is there a null coalescing operator in Javascript?</p>
  
  <p>For example, in C#, I can do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>String someString = null;
  var whatIWant = someString ?? "Cookies!";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The best approximation I can figure out for Javascript is using the conditional operator:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var someString = null;
  var whatIWant = someString ? someString : 'Cookies!';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which is sorta icky IMHO. Can I do better?</p>
