# hasOwnProperty > Test if an object has a specified property.
## Usage ```javascript var hasOwnProp = require( '@stdlib/assert/has-own-property' ); ``` #### hasOwnProp( value, property ) Returns a `boolean` indicating if a `value` has a specified `property`. ```javascript var value = { 'beep': 'boop' }; var bool = hasOwnProp( value, 'beep' ); // returns true bool = hasOwnProp( value, 'bap' ); // returns false ```
## Notes - In contrast to the native [Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty][mdn-object-has-own-property], this function does **not** throw when provided `null` or `undefined`. Instead, the function returns `false`. ```javascript var bool = hasOwnProp( null, 'a' ); // returns false bool = hasOwnProp( void 0, 'a' ); // returns false ``` - Value arguments other than `null` or `undefined` are coerced to `objects`. ```javascript var bool = hasOwnProp( 'beep', 'length' ); // returns true ``` - Property arguments are coerced to `strings`. ```javascript var value = { 'null': false }; var bool = hasOwnProp( value, null ); // returns true value = { '[object Object]': false }; bool = hasOwnProp( value, {} ); // returns true ```
## Examples ```javascript var hasOwnProp = require( '@stdlib/assert/has-own-property' ); var bool = hasOwnProp( { 'a': 'b' }, 'a' ); // returns true bool = hasOwnProp( { 'a': 'b' }, 'c' ); // returns false bool = hasOwnProp( { 'a': 'b' }, null ); // returns false bool = hasOwnProp( {}, 'hasOwnProperty' ); // returns false bool = hasOwnProp( null, 'a' ); // returns false bool = hasOwnProp( void 0, 'a' ); // returns false bool = hasOwnProp( { 'null': false }, null ); // returns true bool = hasOwnProp( { '[object Object]': false }, {} ); // returns true ```
