check if property exists and add if not javascript code example

Example 1: javascript does object have property

var person = {'first_name': 'bill','age':20};

if ( person.hasOwnProperty('first_name') ) {
    //person has a first_name property
}

Example 2: test if property exists javascript

const hero = {
  name: 'Batman'
};

hero.hasOwnProperty('name');     // => true
hero.hasOwnProperty('realName'); // => false
