How to avoid 'cannot read property of undefined' errors?

Question

In my code, I deal with an array that has some entries with many objects nested inside one another, where as some do not. It looks something like the following:

What you are doing raises an exception (and rightfully so).

You can always do

try{
   window.a.b.c
}catch(e){
   console.log("YO",e)
}

But I wouldn't, instead think of your use case.

Why are you accessing data, 6 levels nested that you are unfamiliar of? What use case justifies this?

Usually, you'd like to actually validate what sort of object you're dealing with.

Also, on a side note you should not use statements like if(a.b) because it will return false if a.b is 0 or even if it is "0". Instead check if a.b !== undefined
