var hasValue = require('has-values');

hasValue('a');
//=> true

hasValue('');
//=> false

hasValue(1);

hasValue(0);
//=> false

hasValue({a: 'a'}});
//=> true

hasValue({});
hasValue({foo: undefined});
//=> false

hasValue({foo: null});
//=> true

hasValue(['a']);
//=> true

hasValue([]);
hasValue([[], []]);
hasValue([[[]]]);
//=> false

hasValue(['foo']);
hasValue([0]);
//=> true

hasValue(function(foo) {}); 
//=> true

hasValue(function() {});
//=> true

hasValue(true);
//=> true

hasValue(false);
