Use JavaScript in operator to checks if the object has key. Use myObj.hasOwnProperty('key') to check an object’s own keys and will only return true if key is available on myObj directly:
if ('key' in myObj)And the inverse.
if (!('key' in myObj))Note: The in operator matches all object keys, including those in the object’s prototype chain.
OR
myObj.hasOwnProperty('key')Unless you have a specific reason to use the in operator, using myObj.hasOwnProperty('key') produces the result most code is looking for.
JavaScript checks if the object has key
Simple example code checking name key in given object.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<script>
const item = { id: '101', name: 'Goggles', price: 1499 };
if ('name' in item){
console.log(item)
}
</script>
</body>
</html> Output:
Another way is to use the hasOwnProperty() method of the object:
const item = { id: '101', name: 'Goggles', price: 1499 };
var res = item.hasOwnProperty('color')
console.log(res)Output: false
