Can an Object be false?

Question

Is there any way to make an object return false in javascript?

var obj = new Object();

console.log(!!obj) // prints \"true\" even if it\'s empty

No.

Not sure why you'd want this, but there is a way you could do something like this but it's kinda hacky...

var obj = {
    toString: function() { return ''; }
};

alert(!! (''+obj));
