Javascript: How to check if a string is empty? [duplicate]
I know this is really basic, but I am new to javascript and can't find an answer anywhere.
How can I check if a string is empty?
Solution 1:
I check length.
if (str.length == 0) {
}
Solution 2:
If you want to know if it's an empty string use === instead of ==.
if(variable === "") {
}
This is because === will only return true if the values on both sides are of the same type, in this case a string.
for example: (false == "") will return true, and (false === "") will return false.
Solution 3:
This should work:
if (variable === "") {
}
Solution 4:
But for a better check:
if(str === null || str === '')
{
//enter code here
}
