— Usually var gives context to literals

—

So if I give my variable declaration as an operand of the ternary, it would work, as well as using Object()

—

var selected = idnum ? new Object({uris: [state.itemEntryContainer[idnum].uri]}) : state.itemEntryContainer.list();

works :)

— Turns out I was writing the ternary wrong the entire time

— Haha, why?

— I swapped the colon and question mark

—

conditional : iftrue ? iffalse

= wrong

—

conditional ? iftrue : iffalse

= right

— But a few days ago you wrote it right

— I wrote it right in chat!

— Haha

— Lmao 😂
