How to check undefined in Typescript

Question

I am using this code to check undefined variable but it's not working.

var  uemail = localStorage.getItem("useremail");

if (typeof uemail === "undefined")
{
    alert('undefined');
}
else
{
    alert('defined');
}

Answer 1

In Typescript 2 you can use Undefined type to check for undefined values. So if you declare a variable as:

let uemail : string | undefined;

Then you can check if the variable z is undefined as:

if(uemail === undefined)
{

}
