Function: safeNumberConvert()

safeNumberConvert(value: unknown): undefined | number

Defined in: electron/services/database/utils/valueConverters.ts:67

Safely convert a value to number or return undefined.

Parameters​

value​

unknown

The value to convert to a number

Returns​

undefined | number

Converted number value, or undefined if conversion fails or value is nullish

Remarks​

Provides safe number conversion with explicit handling of edge cases:

  • Already a number: returned as-is (including 0, NaN, Infinity)
  • Truthy values: converted using Number() constructor
  • Falsy values (null, undefined, "", false, 0): returns undefined

Note: This function treats 0 as a valid number that should be preserved, unlike some truthy/falsy checks that would convert 0 to undefined.
