How to check an empty object? - JavaScript

  • 772

I have the following code:

var obj = {};

if (obj != null) {
    //execute
}

The problem is that objit is not null.

How can I know if an object is empty so that it enters a condition or not?

javascript

    With ES5:Object.keys()

    let obj = {};

console.log( Object.keys(obj).length === 0 )

    With jQuery:jQuery.isEmptyObject()

    let obj = {};

console.log( $.isEmptyObject(obj) );
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

  2. @aldanux's answer is correct but one option is to make it a stringJSON.stringify(obj) 

    var obj = {};

if (JSON.stringify(obj)=='{}') {
    //execute
    console.log('vacio');
}

    we can also useObject.entries(obj).

    var obj = {};

if (Object.entries(obj).length === 0) {
  //execute
  console.log('vacio');
}

  3. I suggest using Lodash. https://lodash.com/docs/4.17.15#isEmpty

    _.isEmpty(null);
// => true
 
_.isEmpty(true);
// => true
 
_.isEmpty(1);
// => true
 
_.isEmpty([1, 2, 3]);
// => false
 
_.isEmpty({ 'a': 1 });
// => false

  4. function objetoVacio(obj) {
  for (var prop in obj) {
    if (obj.hasOwnProperty(prop)) return false;
  }
  return true;
}
console.log(objetoVacio({}));
console.log(objetoVacio({hola: 'mundo'}));

    function objetoVacio(obj) {
    return Object.getOwnPropertyNames(obj).length === 0;
}
console.log(objetoVacio({}));
console.log(objetoVacio({hola: 'mundo'}));
