How to shorten: "prop" in obj && obj.prop

[devinrhode2]

Optional chaining solved this in the javascript world, but typescript just doesn't like this looser js-style code.

I wish I could just write:

obj?.prop

Instead of:

"prop" in obj && obj.prop

when obj is:

type Obj = { prop: string } | { error: string, code: number }

Maybe something like a lodash.get could solve this, using some typescript magic.
