(feature)refactor: convert between ternary and if/else

[max397574]

it would be really cool if there would be a code action (available when inside one of the two) that allows to change between ternary assignments and if/else statements example:

if y then
    x = 3
else
    x = 4

x = y and 3 or 4

While this is may be a good idea, this does not always work. If I have condition and x or y, it only works if either x or y are truth values. If none of them are truth values, the ternary doesn't work.

Let:

• condition = true
• x = false
• y = nil

Evaluation of condition and x or y returns nil instead of false as you may expect.

This seems like it would require some serious thinking to consider and cover all the use cases, as @MikuAuahDark pointed out. Personally, I think ternary operations and if statements, while sometimes interchangeable, are different enough that a feature like this would only end up being practical in very simple cases such as the below:

if x then
    print("True")
else
    print("False")
end

-- convert to
x and print("True") or print("False")
