I modified Sean Vieira's code to suit my needs. null and undefined don't count as object at all, and numbers, boolean values and empty strings return false.
'use strict';
// Speed up calls to hasOwnProperty
var hasOwnProperty = Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty;
var isObjectEmpty = function(obj) {
// null and undefined are not empty
if (obj == null) return false;
if(obj === false) return false;
if(obj === true) return false;
if(obj === "") return false;
if(typeof obj === "number") {
return false;
}
// Assume if it has a length property with a non-zero value
// that that property is correct.
if (obj.length > 0) return false;
if (obj.length === 0) return true;
// Otherwise, does it have any properties of its own?
// Note that this doesn't handle
// toString and valueOf enumeration bugs in IE < 9
for (var key in obj) {
if (hasOwnProperty.call(obj, key)) return false;
}
return true;
};
exports.isObjectEmpty = isObjectEmpty;
