Check if AJAX response data is empty/blank/null/undefined/0

问题

What I have:

I have jQuery AJAX function that returns HTML after querying a database. Depending on the result of the query, the function will either return HTML code or nothing (i.e. blank) as desired.

What I need:

I need to conditionally check for when the data is blank.

My code:

$.ajax({
    type:"POST",
    url: "<?php echo admin_url('admin-ajax.php'); ?>",
    data: associated_buildsorprojects_form,
    success:function(data){
        if(!data){  
        //if(data="undefined"){
        //if(data==="undefined"){
        //if(data==null){
        //if(data.length == 0){
        //if ( data.length != 0 ){
        //if(data===0){
        //if(data==="0"){   
            alert("Data: " + data);
        }
    },
    error: function(errorThrown){
        alert(errorThrown);
        alert("There is an error with AJAX!");
    }               
});

My problem:

I've tried a variety of conditions but none correctly check the data. Based on my findings, a blank alert message does not mean data is

empty
non-existent
equal to zero
of length zero
null
undefined

If it's none of these things, how can I therefore conditionally check for the data that yields a blank alert message?

回答1:

The following correct answer was provided in the comment section of the question by Felix Kling:

if (!$.trim(data)){   
    alert("What follows is blank: " + data);
}
else{   
    alert("What follows is not blank: " + data);
}

回答2:

//if(data="undefined"){

This is an assignment statement, not a comparison. Also, "undefined" is a string, it's a property. Checking it is like this: if (data === undefined) (no quotes, otherwise it's a string value)

If it's not defined, you may be returning an empty string. You could try checking for a falsy value like if (!data) as well

回答3:

if(data.trim()==''){alert("Nothing Found");}

This worked form me.. PHP Code on page.php

 $query_de="sql statements here";
 $sql_de = sqlsrv_query($conn,$query_de);
      if ($sql_de)
      {
        echo "SQLSuccess";
       }
         exit();

and then AJAX Code has bellow

jQuery.ajax({
                    url  : "page.php",
                    type : "POST",
                    data : {
                            buttonsave   : 1,
                            var1         : val1,
                            var2         : val2,
                              },
                  success:function(data)
                           {
                     if(jQuery.trim(data) === "SQLSuccess")
                                   {
                           alert("Se agrego correctamente");
                          // alert(data);
                                      } else { alert(data);}
                              },
                   error: function(error)
                           {
                    alert("Error AJAX not working: "+ error );
                              } 
               });

NOTE: the word 'SQLSuccess' must be received from PHP

$.ajax({
    type:"POST",
    url: "<?php echo admin_url('admin-ajax.php'); ?>",
    data: associated_buildsorprojects_form,
    success:function(data){
        // do console.log(data);
        console.log(data);
        // you'll find that what exactly inside data 
        // I do not prefer alter(data); now because, it does not 
        // completes requirement all the time 
        // After that you can easily put if condition that you do not want like
        // if(data != '')
        // if(data == null)
        // or whatever you want 
    },
    error: function(errorThrown){
        alert(errorThrown);
        alert("There is an error with AJAX!");
    }               
});

If you use response instead of that you get everything that you echo from the PHP. Hope this helps
