— Why is this so much better ?
Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(object, key)

— If it has a property named x

— I do:
if (object.key) {

— I don't have falsy properties anyway 😎

— Im reading trough airbnbs code style book, and they wrote that what i pasted

— Yeah, because that's the correct way

— Which is so good.. their explanation is:

— Why? These methods may be shadowed by properties on the object in question - consider { hasOwnProperty: false } - or, the object may be a null object (Object.create(null)).
