Checking something isEmpty in Javascript?

Question

How can I check if a variable is empty in Javascript? Sorry for the stupid question, but I\'m a newbie in Javascript!

if(response.photo) is empty {
    do so

It depends on what you mean by "empty". The most common pattern is to check to see if the variable is undefined. Many people also do a null check, for example:
if (myVariable === undefined || myVariable === null)...

or, in a shorter form:
if (myVariable || myVariable === null)...
