The ?: is the ternary operator, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Conditional_Operator Before the ? goes the condition, if true then whatever is before the : is used, if false then whatever is after the : is used. It is similar to an if else but this is a 1 liner... usually.
