Package Exports

empty-value

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (empty-value) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

empty-value

📦 Check if a given value is empty in JS extending his "truthy" and "falsy" nature

Status

Installation

Using npm

npm install --save empty-value

The following values are considered to be empty:

NaN
0 (0 as an integer)
0.0 (0 as a float)
"0" (0 as a string)
null
false
undefined
"" (an empty string)
" " (an string with only spaces)
array( ) / [ ] (an empty array)
{ } (an empty object / no direct keys)

Usage

var empty = require('empty-value');

empty(true) //false
empty(12345) //false
empty(-12345) //false
empty('Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text') //false
empty([1, 2, 3]) //false
empty({ foo: 'bar' }) //false
empty('{ "id" : 1 }') //false
empty(function () { }) //false

empty(NaN) //true
empty(0) //true
empty(0.0) //true
empty(null) //true
empty(false) //true
empty(undefined) //true
empty('0') //true
empty(''); //true
empty(' '); //true
empty([]) //true
empty({ }) //true

var proto = { foo: 'bar' };
var obj = Object.create(proto);
empty(obj) //true  Note: foo is not a directly property of obj

Using hooks

If empty can't guess the correct answer (IE: value is a function) before return FALSE you could use your own hook. See example bellow:

var myEmptyHook = function (value) {//i don't like functions
  return typeof value === 'function' ? true : false;
}
var func = function () {
  return 'bar';
}

empty(func, myEmptyHook); //true
