no-non-null-asserted-optional-chain

Disallow non-null assertions after an optional chain expression.

✅

Extending "plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended" in an ESLint configuration enables this rule.

💡

Some problems reported by this rule are manually fixable by editor suggestions.

?. optional chain expressions provide undefined if an object is null or undefined. Using a ! non-null assertion to assert the result of an ?. optional chain expression is non-nullable is likely wrong.

Most of the time, either the object was not nullable and did not need the ?. for its property lookup, or the ! is incorrect and introducing a type safety hole.
