object might be undefined, but have a undefined check
Here is my code, and im getting a "Object is possibly 'undefined'.ts(2532)" error.
messagesWithCoach.data is a json object with the key being a coachId (String), and the value a list of objects
Why am i still getting this error even though im checking if its undefined

i think the problem is you're using
typeof
typeof anything will always give you a string, so typeof ... !== undefined will always be true and won't make typescript do type narrowing
either put the undefined in quotes or remove the typeof and it may workalright, lets check and see!
error is persisting
it may also just be the case that ts can't type narrow for an expression that complex
but yeah u can just nullish coalesce before calliing
mapgenius!
Thanks for the help, feeling fairly dumb now haha
No problem
