has-value

Returns true if a value exists, false if empty. Works with deeply nested values using object paths.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install has-value --save

Works for:

booleans
functions
numbers (pass true as the last arg to treat zero as a value instead of falsey)
strings
nulls
object
arrays

Usage

Works with nested object paths or a single value:

var hasValue = require('has-value');

hasValue({a: {b: {c: 'foo'}}} 'a.b.c');
//=> true

hasValue('a');
//=> true

hasValue('');
//=> false

hasValue(1);
//=> true

hasValue(0);
//=> false

hasValue(0, true); // pass `true` as the last arg to treat zero as a value
//=> true

hasValue({a: 'a'}});
//=> true

hasValue({}});
//=> false

hasValue(['a']);
//=> true

hasValue([]);
//=> false

hasValue(function(foo) {}); // function length/arity
//=> true

hasValue(function() {});
//=> false

hasValue(true);
hasValue(false);
//=> true

isEmpty

To do the opposite and test for empty values, do:

function isEmpty(o, isZero) {
  return !hasValue.apply(hasValue, arguments);
}
