I'm using Node.js 14.15.1 in VS Code and it is showing an error when I'm trying to use the optional chaining operator. I am not using any other dependency apart from Express. The line of code is fairly simple.

if(something.includes(String(anotherThing.value)?.trim())) {
 // do something
}

Can you shed some light on a possible workaround?

According to [node.green](https://node.green/) this feature should be available in NodeJs 14.5. Can Node run this code? – JSON Derulo Apr 27 '21 at 12:41
@PaulMartin That's a typo in the question. The code has it. – awesomemypro Apr 27 '21 at 12:42
VSC remote uses a different V8 version – rioV8 Apr 27 '21 at 13:54
Did you update your `jsconfig.json` `target` and `lib` properties to something like `es2020`? – Mark Apr 27 '21 at 16:59
