Recently I came across this little bit of JS logic:

close(focusAfter) {
    if (! this.open) return;

    this.open = false;

    focusAfter && focusAfter.focus();
},

The truthy-ness check of focusAfter is clearly used as an inline conditional to make sure a valid object/element exists before calling .focus() on it.

It seems to me that the equivalent logic could be clarified when rewritten as:

if (focusAfter) focusAfter.focus();

My question is: is there any "not-immediately-obvious" advantage to the inline boolean-check-then-execution shown in the original example versus explicitly writing an inline if statement to "wrap" the executed logic (in this case, focusAfter.focus())?
