Number as env var does not work

I have an .env var set like this PUSH_INVITE_DELAY_MINUTES=0 In my code I am calling it like this

const PUSH_INVITE_DELAY_MINUTES = Number(process.env.PUSH_INVITE_DELAY_MINUTES) || 30;

const PUSH_INVITE_DELAY_MINUTES = Number(process.env.PUSH_INVITE_DELAY_MINUTES) || 30;

But PUSH_INVITE_DELAY_MINUTES still returns 30 why?!

If I log process.env.PUSH_INVITE_DELAY_MINUTES I get the correct value set in the env -> 0

use ?? instead of ||

This worked

Number.isInteger(Number(process.env.PUSH_INVITE_DELAY_MINUTES))
  ? Number(process.env.PUSH_INVITE_DELAY_MINUTES)
  : 30;

Number.isInteger(Number(process.env.PUSH_INVITE_DELAY_MINUTES))
  ? Number(process.env.PUSH_INVITE_DELAY_MINUTES)
  : 30;

Buut seems long

const PUSH_INVITE_DELAY_MINUTES = Number(process.env.PUSH_INVITE_DELAY_MINUTES) ?? 30;

const PUSH_INVITE_DELAY_MINUTES = Number(process.env.PUSH_INVITE_DELAY_MINUTES) ?? 30;

because

0 || 30 // => 30
null || 30 // => 30
0 ?? 30 // => 0
null ?? 30 // => 30

0 || 30 // => 30
null || 30 // => 30
0 ?? 30 // => 0
null ?? 30 // => 30

|| uses == ?? uses ===
