何がうまくいかなかったのか？

undefined か null に対してプロパティアクセスを行いました。

例

無効なケース

// undefined and null cases on which the substring method won't work
var foo = undefined;
foo.substring(1); // TypeError: x is undefined, can't access property "substring" of it

var foo = null;
foo.substring(1); // TypeError: x is null, can't access property "substring" of it

問題解決

undefined か null の null pointer アクセスを修正するには、たとえば typeof 演算子を使用できます。

if (typeof foo !== 'undefined') {
  // Now we know that foo is defined, we are good to go.
}
