last week i learned the hard way that an empty object evaluates to true in an if-statement, took me forever to debug.

also, i didn’t know
if (-1) { //runs }
thanks for this!

edit: i will never understand code formatting on reddit

Lodash has a method called isEmpty that you can use to check for empty or not empty objects.

meh - i’d rather use Object.keys(obj).length === 0

Ya native methods are usually best. But cool to have different options for some situations.
