isObjectHasValues

Checks if an object has at least one meaningful value, searching recursively.

The isObjectHasValues utility is a recursive helper designed to determine if an object contains any "meaningful" content. This is particularly useful for validation logic or for deciding whether to display specific UI sections based on complex data structures.

Definition

isObjectHasValues.ts
/**
 * Checks if an object has at least one meaningful value, searching recursively.
 *
 * @param {Record<string, unknown>} target - The object to inspect.
 * @returns {boolean} - True if any meaningful value is found.
 */
export function isObjectHasValues(target: Record<string, unknown>): boolean

Behavior

A value is considered meaningful if it meets any of the following conditions:

  • It is not undefined.
  • It is not null.
  • It is not an empty string ('').
  • It is a non-empty array.
  • It is a nested object that itself contains meaningful values.

Example Usage

example.ts
import { isObjectHasValues } from '@riavzon/utils'

const empty = {
  name: '',
  meta: {
    tags: [],
    note: undefined
  }
};

const filled = {
  name: 'Nuxt',
  meta: {
    tags: ['framework']
  }
};

console.log(isObjectHasValues(empty));  // false
console.log(isObjectHasValues(filled)); // true
Note that 0, false, and other falsy values (except empty strings, null, and undefined) are considered meaningful by this utility.
