I want to check if the window.sessionStorage object exists. Is this the way to do it:
if (window.sessionStorage)
in javascript?
if(sessionStorage.length == 0) {
//do something
}
That will validate whether sessionStorage
is empty or not. Alternatively, you can use this:
if(typeof(sessionStorage) == 'undefined') {
//do something
}
Your proposed solution will work since we know that the sessionStorage
property must refer to an object—and objects always resolve truthy in expressions.
However a word of caution, when checking for the existence of any arbitrary property in JavaScript (where we don't necessarily know the value), it's safest to check that the key exists in the object of interest. For example:
var exists = (someObject && 'someProp' in someObject);
We need to do this because someProp
could be a valid property yet the test would fail when equal to: false
, ""
, 0
, or any other value that would be falsey in an expression.
