# has-value [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/has-value) [](https://npmjs.org/package/has-value) [](https://npmjs.org/package/has-value) [](https://travis-ci.org/jonschlinkert/has-value)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> Returns true if a value exists, false if empty. Works with deeply nested values using object paths.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Install
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
$ npm install --save has-value
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Works for:**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* booleans
 | 
						|
* functions
 | 
						|
* numbers
 | 
						|
* strings
 | 
						|
* nulls
 | 
						|
* object
 | 
						|
* arrays
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Usage
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Works with property values (supports object-path notation, like `foo.bar`) or a single value:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
var hasValue = require('has-value');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
hasValue('foo');
 | 
						|
hasValue({foo: 'bar'}, 'foo');
 | 
						|
hasValue({a: {b: {c: 'foo'}}}, 'a.b.c');
 | 
						|
//=> true
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
hasValue('');
 | 
						|
hasValue({foo: ''}, 'foo');
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
hasValue(0);
 | 
						|
hasValue(1);
 | 
						|
hasValue({foo: 0}, 'foo');
 | 
						|
hasValue({foo: 1}, 'foo');
 | 
						|
hasValue({foo: null}, 'foo');
 | 
						|
hasValue({foo: {bar: 'a'}}}, 'foo');
 | 
						|
hasValue({foo: {bar: 'a'}}}, 'foo.bar');
 | 
						|
//=> true
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
hasValue({foo: {}}}, 'foo');
 | 
						|
hasValue({foo: {bar: {}}}}, 'foo.bar');
 | 
						|
hasValue({foo: undefined}, 'foo');
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
hasValue([]);
 | 
						|
hasValue([[]]);
 | 
						|
hasValue([[], []]);
 | 
						|
hasValue([undefined]);
 | 
						|
hasValue({foo: []}, 'foo');
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
hasValue([0]);
 | 
						|
hasValue([null]);
 | 
						|
hasValue(['foo']);
 | 
						|
hasValue({foo: ['a']}, 'foo');
 | 
						|
//=> true
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
hasValue(function() {})
 | 
						|
hasValue(function(foo) {})
 | 
						|
hasValue({foo: function(foo) {}}, 'foo'); 
 | 
						|
hasValue({foo: function() {}}, 'foo');
 | 
						|
//=> true
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
hasValue(true);
 | 
						|
hasValue(false);
 | 
						|
hasValue({foo: true}, 'foo');
 | 
						|
hasValue({foo: false}, 'foo');
 | 
						|
//=> true
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## isEmpty
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To do the opposite and test for empty values, do:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
function isEmpty(o) {
 | 
						|
  return !hasValue.apply(hasValue, arguments);
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
