check property in object javascript code example

Example 1: js check if object has property

const object1 = new Object();
object1.property1 = 42;

console.log(object1.hasOwnProperty('property1'));
// expected output: true

Example 2: check the properties of an object in javascript

for (var name in object) {  
    if (object.hasOwnProperty(name)) { 
        // do something with name                    
    }  
}

// OR

const hero = {
  name: 'Batman'
};

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

Example 3: javascript does object have property

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

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

Example 4: test if property exists javascript

const hero = {
  name: 'Batman'
};

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

Example 5: check if object has method javascript

if(typeof myObj.prop2 === 'function') {
    alert("It's a function");
} else if (typeof myObj.prop2 === 'undefined') {
    alert("It's undefined");
} else {
    alert("It's neither undefined nor a function. It's a " + typeof myObj.prop2);
}

Example 6: hasOwnProperty

The hasOwnProperty() method returns a boolean indicating whether the object has the specified property as its own property (as opposed to inheriting it).

const object1 = {};
object1.property1 = 42;

console.log(object1.hasOwnProperty('property1'));
// expected output: true

console.log(object1.hasOwnProperty('toString'));
// expected output: false
