Returns true if a value exists, false if empty. Works with deeply nested values using object paths.
Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your ❤️ and support.
Install with npm:
$ npm install --save has-value
Breaking changes in v2.0! See the release history for details.
const has = require('has-value');
console.log(has()) //=> true
console.log(has('foo')) //=> true
Works for:
- booleans
- functions
- numbers
- strings
- nulls
- object
- arrays
isEmpty
To do the opposite and test for empty values, do:
const isEmpty = (...args) => !has(...args);
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: ['a'] } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> true
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: [0] } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> true
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: [[[]]] } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> false
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: [[], []] } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> false
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: [] } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> false
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: true } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> true
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: false } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> true
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: new Buffer() } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> false
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: new Buffer('foo') } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> true
Dates are always true.
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: new Date() } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> true
Returns false
if err.message
is an empty string.
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: new Error() } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> false
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: new Error('foo') } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> true
Functions are always true.
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: function(foo) {} } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> true
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: function() {} } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> true
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: new Map() } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> false
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: new Map([['foo', 'bar']]) } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> true
null
is always true, as it's assumed that this is a user-defined value, versus undefined
which is not.
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: null } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> true
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: {} } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> false
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: { a: 'a' }} } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> true
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: { foo: undefined } } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> false
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: { foo: null } } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> true
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: 1 } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> true
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: 0 } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> true
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: new RegExp() } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> false
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: new RegExp('foo') } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> true
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: new Set() } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> false
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: new Set(['foo', 'bar']) } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> true
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: 'a' } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> true
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: '' } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> false
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> false
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: void 0 } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> false
console.log(has({ foo: { bar: undefined } }, 'foo.bar')); //=> false
Breaking changes
- Now returns false if the first argument is not an object, function or array, and the second argument is not a string or array.
zero
always returns truearray
now recurses, so that an array of empty arrays will returnfalse
null
now returns true
