Update soqlDatatable.js to enhance $CurrentRecord api to handle null values

[solo-1234]

Here is my fix for #99
I tested all recipes in a scratch org with this change and they seem to be working correctly.

Keep me posted re: next steps - thank you!

Hey @solo-1234 the placement of the logic separate to reference only datatypes is not ideal.

However, I see where you applied the potential fix. I have an idea that I could tackle in a month or two that would help based on your desired logic above.

I'll revisit this PR in due time and update you when I reach some testing conclusions on the corp fork!

Edit: As an aside - the commit message isn't detailed enough and follow good commit msg conventions. Not something to worry about now but just for future reference.

I am new at this so thanks for the feedback! Should I look at old PRs for commit message conventions?

I am curious what you would do differently in terms of this fix so I"ll stay tuned.

Incidentally, I am thinking that you may want to use the nullish coalescing operator on types other than just lookup. For example, on text fields. I did some testing and think I see unintended behavior in recipes in a scratch org. Should I comment on them here / in the issue / start a new issue?

TY

I don’t agree nullish coalescing is the right blanket approach. The ethos of this library is to “pass through” whatever the platform provides and I only want to sparingly interject.

No new issues, as I don’t see value there since there is already a PR (this one) with full context for this discussion.

On the topic of git commit messages - it’s both convention in this repo and just general “how to write a good commit message”. No specific recommendations on specific guides though.

Lastly, yep I’ll think about this (you’ve given enough breadcrumbs) but I want to harden some other features first before revisiting this one in a few months.

Update on this - my bandwidth is not looking so good in Q3 so will revisit in Q4
