Javascript test ( object && object !== “null” && object !== “undefined” )

Question

I seem to be using this test a lot

if( object && object !== \"null\" && object !== \"undefined\" ){
    doSomething();
}

I don't think you can make that any simpler, but you could certainly refactor that logic into a function:

function isRealValue(obj)
{
 return obj && obj !== 'null' && obj !== 'undefined';
}

Then, at least your code becomes:

if (isRealValue(yourObject))
{
 doSomething();
}
