has-values

Returns true if any values exist, false if empty. Works for booleans, functions, numbers, strings, nulls, objects and arrays.

Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save has-values

Usage

const has = require('has-values');

Create an isEmpty function by returning the inverse of the result from has-values:

const isEmpty = val => !has(val);

Supported types

Arrays

console.log(has(['a']));      //=> true
console.log(has([0]));        //=> true
console.log(has([[[]]]));     //=> false
console.log(has([[], []]));   //=> false
console.log(has([]));         //=> false

Booleans

console.log(has(true));  //=> true
console.log(has(false)); //=> true

Buffers

console.log(has(new Buffer()));      //=> false
console.log(has(new Buffer('foo'))); //=> true

Dates

Dates are always true.

console.log(has(new Date())); //=> true

Errors

Returns false if err.message is an empty string.

console.log(has(new Error()));      //=> false
console.log(has(new Error('foo'))); //=> true

Functions

Functions are always true.

console.log(has(function(foo) {})); //=> true
console.log(has(function() {}));    //=> true

Maps

console.log(has(new Map()));                 //=> false
console.log(has(new Map([['foo', 'bar']]))); //=> true

Null

null is always true, as it's assumed that this is a user-defined value, versus undefined which is not.

console.log(has(null)); //=> true

Objects

console.log(has({})); //=> false
console.log(has({ a: 'a' }}));        //=> true
console.log(has({ foo: undefined })); //=> false
console.log(has({ foo: null }));      //=> true

Numbers

console.log(has(1)); //=> true
console.log(has(0)); //=> true

Regular expressions

console.log(has(new RegExp()));      //=> false
console.log(has(new RegExp('foo'))); //=> true

Sets

console.log(has(new Set()));               //=> false
console.log(has(new Set(['foo', 'bar']))); //=> true

Strings

console.log(has('a')); //=> true
console.log(has(''));  //=> false

Undefined

console.log(has());          //=> false
console.log(has(void 0));    //=> false
console.log(has(undefined)); //=> false
