has-value
Advanced tools
Returns true if a value exists, false if empty. Works with deeply nested values using object paths.
Package description
The has-value npm package is used to check if a value exists, is not empty, or is not undefined. It is useful for validating data and ensuring that required fields are populated.
Check if a value exists
This feature checks if a given value exists. In this example, the string 'Hello World' is checked, and since it is a non-empty string, the result is true.
const hasValue = require('has-value');
console.log(hasValue('Hello World')); // trueCheck if an object property has a value
This feature checks if a specific property of an object has a value. In this example, the object has a property 'name' with a value 'John Doe', so the result is true.
const hasValue = require('has-value');
const obj = { name: 'John Doe' };
console.log(hasValue(obj, 'name')); // trueCheck if an array has a value
This feature checks if an array has any values. In this example, the array [1, 2, 3] is checked, and since it contains elements, the result is true.
const hasValue = require('has-value');
const arr = [1, 2, 3];
console.log(hasValue(arr)); // trueCheck if a nested object property has a value
This feature checks if a nested property within an object has a value. In this example, the nested property 'user.name' is checked, and since it has a value 'Jane Doe', the result is true.
const hasValue = require('has-value');
const nestedObj = { user: { name: 'Jane Doe' } };
console.log(hasValue(nestedObj, 'user.name')); // trueLodash is a popular utility library that provides a wide range of functions for manipulating arrays, objects, and other data types. It includes a method `_.has` to check if a property exists in an object, which is similar to the functionality provided by has-value.
Underscore is another utility library similar to Lodash. It provides a method `_.has` to check if an object contains a given property. While it does not specifically check for non-empty values, it can be used in combination with other methods to achieve similar results.
Validator is a library for string validation and sanitization. It includes methods to check if a string is empty or not, which can be used to validate the presence of values in a similar way to has-value.

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:
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
