var myNewValue = myObject && myObject.child && myObject.child.myValue;

这永远不会抛出错误。如果myObject、child或myValue为空，则myNewValue将为空。不会引发任何错误

这将检查不确定嵌套的变量是否未定义

function Undef(str) 
{
  var ary = str.split('.');
  var w = window;
  for (i in ary) {
    try      { if (typeof(w = w[ary[i]]) === "undefined") return true; }
    catch(e) { return true; }
  }
  return false;
}

if (!Undef("google.translate.TranslateElement")) {

上面检查Google翻译函数TranslateElement是否存在。这相当于：

if (!(typeof google === "undefined" 
 || typeof google.translate === "undefined" 
 || typeof google.translate.TranslateElement === "undefined")) {

对于每一个有类似问题的人来说，以下内容非常有用，我在过去的几年里都把它放在了我的图书馆里：

(function(g3, $, window, document, undefined){
   g3.utils = g3.utils || {};
/********************************Function type()********************************
* Returns a lowercase string representation of an object's constructor.
* @module {g3.utils}
* @function {g3.utils.type}
* @public
* @param {Type} 'obj' is any type native, host or custom.
* @return {String} Returns a lowercase string representing the object's 
* constructor which is different from word 'object' if they are not custom.
* @reference http://perfectionkills.com/instanceof-considered-harmful-or-how-to-write-a-robust-isarray/

* http://javascript.info/tutorial/type-detection
*******************************************************************************/
g3.utils.type = function (obj){
   if(obj === null)
      return 'null';
   else if(typeof obj === 'undefined')
      return 'undefined';
   return Object.prototype.toString.call(obj).match(/^\[object\s(.*)\]$/)[1].toLowerCase();
};
}(window.g3 = window.g3 || {}, jQuery, window, document));

可以直接使用相等运算符

<script>
    var firstName;
    var lastName = null;
    /* Since null == undefined is true, the following statements will catch both null and undefined */
        if(firstName == null){
            alert('Variable "firstName" is undefined.');
        }    
        if(lastName == null){
           alert('Variable "lastName" is null.');
        }
</script>

demo@如何使用JavaScript确定变量是否未定义或为空

我想这会让你的代码看起来更简单

检查变量是否未定义或为空

var a=undefined, b=null, c='hello world', d;
if(a !== (a ?? {})) { /**/ } // true
if(b !== (b ?? {})) { /**/ } // true
if(c !== (c ?? {})) { /**/ } // false
if(d !== (d ?? {})) { /**/ } // true

检查变量是否未定义或为空

var a=undefined, b=null, c='hello world', d;
if(a === (a ?? {})) { /**/ } // false
if(b === (b ?? {})) { /**/ } // false
if(c === (c ?? {})) { /**/ } // true
if(d === (d ?? {})) { /**/ } // false

这里是我的-如果值为null、undefined等或空白（即仅包含空格），则返回true：

function stringIsEmpty(value) {

    return value ? value.trim().length == 0 : true;

}
