Check if Variable is Empty – Angular 2

Lets say we have a variable called x, as below:

var x;

following statement is valid,

x = 10;
x = "a";
x = 0;
x = undefined;
x = null;

1. Number:

x = 10;
if(x){
//True
}

and for x = undefined or x = 0 (be careful here)

if(x){
 //False
}

2. String x = null , x = undefined or x = ""

if(x){
  //False
}

3 Boolean x = false and x = undefined,

if(x){
  //False
}

By keeping above in mind we can easily check, whether variable is empty, null, 0 or undefined in Angular js. Angular js doest provide separate API to check variable values emptiness.
