Check if AJAX response data is empty blank null undefined 0

Question

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    lt  php echo admin url  admin-ajax php      gt        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

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
