if ( typeof( something ) == "undefined") 

这对我有用，而其他人没有。

if (somevariable == undefined) {
  alert('the variable is not defined!');
}

您也可以将其转换为函数，如下所示：

function isset(varname){
  return(typeof(window[varname]) != 'undefined');
}

检查属性值是否为未定义的特殊值的通常方法是：

if(o.myProperty === undefined) {
  alert("myProperty value is the special value `undefined`");
}

要检查对象是否实际上没有这样的属性，并且当您尝试访问它时，默认情况下会返回undefined：

if(!o.hasOwnProperty('myProperty')) {
  alert("myProperty does not exist");
}

要检查与标识符关联的值是否为未定义的特殊值，或者该标识符是否尚未声明：

if(typeof myVariable === 'undefined') {
  alert('myVariable is either the special value `undefined`, or it has not been declared');
}

注意：最后一个方法是引用未声明的标识符而不出现早期错误的唯一方法，这与值为undefined不同。

在ECMAScript 5之前的JavaScript版本中，全局对象上名为“undefined”的属性是可写的，因此，如果不小心重新定义了foo==undefineed，则简单的检查可能会出现意外的行为。在现代JavaScript中，属性是只读的。

然而，在现代JavaScript中，“undefined”不是关键字，因此函数内部的变量可以命名为“undefine”，并隐藏全局属性。

如果您担心这种（不太可能的）边缘情况，可以使用void运算符获取特殊的未定义值本身：

if(myVariable === void 0) {
  alert("myVariable is the special value `undefined`");
}

ECMAScript 10引入了一个新特性——可选链接，只有当对象定义为如下时，才可以使用该特性来使用对象的属性：

const userPhone = user?.contactDetails?.phone;

只有在定义了user和contactDetails时，它才会引用phone属性。

裁判。https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Optional_chaining

查看注释，对于那些想同时检查两者的人来说，它是未定义的还是其值为空：

//Just in JavaScript
var s; // Undefined
if (typeof s == "undefined" || s === null){
    alert('either it is undefined or value is null')
}

如果您使用的是jQueryLibrary，那么jQuery.isEmptyObject（）将足以满足这两种情况，

var s; // Undefined
jQuery.isEmptyObject(s); // Will return true;

s = null; // Defined as null
jQuery.isEmptyObject(s); // Will return true;

//Usage
if (jQuery.isEmptyObject(s)) {
    alert('Either variable:s is undefined or its value is null');
} else {
     alert('variable:s has value ' + s);
}

s = 'something'; // Defined with some value
jQuery.isEmptyObject(s); // Will return false;

参考代码：

(function(undefined) {
    var definedButNotInitialized;
    definedAndInitialized = 3;
    someObject = {
        firstProp: "1"
        , secondProp: false
        // , undefinedProp not defined
    }
    // var notDefined;

    var tests = [
        'definedButNotInitialized in window',
        'definedAndInitialized in window',
        'someObject.firstProp in window',
        'someObject.secondProp in window',
        'someObject.undefinedProp in window',
        'notDefined in window',

        '"definedButNotInitialized" in window',
        '"definedAndInitialized" in window',
        '"someObject.firstProp" in window',
        '"someObject.secondProp" in window',
        '"someObject.undefinedProp" in window',
        '"notDefined" in window',

        'typeof definedButNotInitialized == "undefined"',
        'typeof definedButNotInitialized === typeof undefined',
        'definedButNotInitialized === undefined',
        '! definedButNotInitialized',
        '!! definedButNotInitialized',

        'typeof definedAndInitialized == "undefined"',
        'typeof definedAndInitialized === typeof undefined',
        'definedAndInitialized === undefined',
        '! definedAndInitialized',
        '!! definedAndInitialized',

        'typeof someObject.firstProp == "undefined"',
        'typeof someObject.firstProp === typeof undefined',
        'someObject.firstProp === undefined',
        '! someObject.firstProp',
        '!! someObject.firstProp',

        'typeof someObject.secondProp == "undefined"',
        'typeof someObject.secondProp === typeof undefined',
        'someObject.secondProp === undefined',
        '! someObject.secondProp',
        '!! someObject.secondProp',

        'typeof someObject.undefinedProp == "undefined"',
        'typeof someObject.undefinedProp === typeof undefined',
        'someObject.undefinedProp === undefined',
        '! someObject.undefinedProp',
        '!! someObject.undefinedProp',

        'typeof notDefined == "undefined"',
        'typeof notDefined === typeof undefined',
        'notDefined === undefined',
        '! notDefined',
        '!! notDefined'
    ];

    var output = document.getElementById('results');
    var result = '';
    for(var t in tests) {
        if( !tests.hasOwnProperty(t) ) continue; // bleh

        try {
            result = eval(tests[t]);
        } catch(ex) {
            result = 'Exception--' + ex;
        }
        console.log(tests[t], result);
        output.innerHTML += "\n" + tests[t] + ": " + result;
    }
})();
