Testing for an empty object in Javascript

This content originally appeared on CodeSource.io and was authored by Prince Chukwudire

In this guide, we will write a check for an empty object in JavaScript. To achieve this we would be using the custom built-in object.keys method.

let emptyObject = {};

Object.keys(emptyObject ).length === 0 && emptyObject.constructor === Object;

This returns a truthy value if the given object is empty.

This is however easily achieved with lodash like so:

_.isEmpty({});
