JQuery library was developed specifically to simplify and to unify certain JavaScript functionality.
However if you need to check a variable against undefined
value, there is no need to invent any special method, since JavaScript has a typeof
operator, which is simple, fast and cross-platform:
if (typeof value === "undefined") { // ... }
It returns a string indicating the type of the variable or other unevaluated operand. The main advantage of this method, compared to if (value === undefined) { ... }
, is that typeof
will never raise an exception in case if variable value
does not exist.
