null check / optional chaining for array contents? [duplicate]

Question

we're all familiar with the

tune?.image

type of null checks in Typescript optional chaining docs

but what's the best practice for checking this with an array value?

tune.images?[0]

will not work. I often use:

tune.images ? tune.images[0] : null

actually I think this is the better example:

tune.images.length

where tune?.images?.length will fail.

the best alternate I've found is:

if (!tune.images || tune?.images?.length < 1) {

but it seems overly verbose. Better ideas?
