has-value NPM version NPM monthly downloads NPM total downloads Linux Build Status

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

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save has-value

Works for:

  • booleans
  • functions
  • numbers
  • strings
  • nulls
  • object
  • arrays

Usage

Works with property values (supports object-path notation, like foo.bar) or a single value:

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

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

hasValue('');
hasValue({foo: ''}, 'foo');
//=> false

hasValue(0);
hasValue(1);
hasValue({foo: 0}, 'foo');
hasValue({foo: 1}, 'foo');
hasValue({foo: null}, 'foo');
hasValue({foo: {bar: 'a'}}}, 'foo');
hasValue({foo: {bar: 'a'}}}, 'foo.bar');
//=> true

hasValue({foo: {}}}, 'foo');
hasValue({foo: {bar: {}}}}, 'foo.bar');
hasValue({foo: undefined}, 'foo');
//=> false

hasValue([]);
hasValue([[]]);
hasValue([[], []]);
hasValue([undefined]);
hasValue({foo: []}, 'foo');
//=> false

hasValue([0]);
hasValue([null]);
hasValue(['foo']);
hasValue({foo: ['a']}, 'foo');
//=> true

hasValue(function() {})
hasValue(function(foo) {})
hasValue({foo: function(foo) {}}, 'foo'); 
hasValue({foo: function() {}}, 'foo');
//=> true

hasValue(true);
hasValue(false);
hasValue({foo: true}, 'foo');
hasValue({foo: false}, 'foo');
//=> true

isEmpty

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

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

Release history

v1.0.0

  • zero always returns true
  • array now recurses, so that an array of empty arrays will return false
  • null now returns true
