Complex shorthand If Else breaks entire script in Illustrator 2018!

[JosephWang]

!Consider following code

var a = 123;
var b = a === 123 ? 345 === 566 ? 123 : 444 : 567 === 567 ? 678 : 789;
alert(b)

This code excutes in chorme works.

However, it break in illustrator script !

The reason why I use such complex "if else", is because I use webpack UglifyJSPlugin to minify my script.

UglifyJSPlugin compiles my code to such complex "if else".

Is there any way to fix this ?

Is there any plugin I can use to transpile this code to normal if else ?

Thank you very much !

Hi JosephWang​,

sorry. I don't like such minimized codes. Hard to read and almost impossible to find mistakes in these codes.

But I think "Adobe Extendscript" is not Javascipt. Please try one of these slightly less minimized versions.

var a = 123;
var b = (a === 123 ? (345 === 566 ? 123 : 444) : (567 === 567 ? 678 : 789));
alert(b);

Is this the result you want?

If not - please ask Kukurykus​ from PS-Scripting forum. He almost write all of his codes in this minimized kind.

Hi, I totally agree with you.

I think I need to rethink about my question more time.

Thank you for your reply.
