JavaScript arrays can be  empty   in a sense  even if the length of the array is non-zero   For example   var empty   new Array 10   var howMany   empty reduce function count  e    return count   1     0     The variable  howMany  will be set to 0  even though the array was initialized to have a length of 10   Thus because many of the Array iteration functions only pay attention to elements of the array that have actually been assigned values  you can use something like this call to  some   to see if an array has anything actually in it   var hasSome   empty some function e    return true        The callback passed to  some   will return true whenever it s called  so if the iteration mechanism finds an element of the array that s worthy of inspection  the result will be true

var a       a length  gt  0   I would just check the length  You could potentially wrap it in a helper method if you like

JavaScript has the Array prototype some   method    1  2  3  some  num    gt  num   2     0       returns true because there s  at least  one even number in the array   In general  the Array class in JavaScript s standard library is quite poor compared to Ruby s Enumerable  There s no isEmpty method and  some   requires that you pass in a function or you ll get an undefined is not a function error  You can define your own  isEmpty   as well as a  any   that is closer to Ruby s like this   Array prototype isEmpty   function         return this length     0     Array prototype any   function func       return this some func    function x    return x         Libraries like underscore js and lodash provide helper methods like these  if you re used to Ruby s collection methods  it might make sense to include them in your project
