empty

Utility that provides different types of empty objects. All objects returned by this library are immutable (made so using Object.freeze) unless the NODE_ENV environment variable is set to 'production'.

Installation

The library is written for CommonJS environments such as Node and works beautifully in the browser using something like Browserify.

To install, make sure you have Node installed, then, in your project directory, run:

``
$ npm install empty
`
