hasValue returns 'true' for an empty object

[majuric]

hasValue() returns an info whether data being validated has any value .. basically it checks whether data is empty. This works fine for everything except for object, for which hasValue returns true even if it's empty ..

https://github.com/thedersen/backbone.validation/blob/master/src/backbone-validation.js#L568

hasValue( '' ) // false
hasValue( [] ) // false
hasValue( null ) // false
hasValue ( undefined ) // false

hasValue( {} ) // TRUE

I'm not sure if this is by design, but I would expect that empty object be treated as having no value.

Also, I believe underscores '_.isEmpty' would cover all of the cases since it's pretty consistent in what it considers 'empty'

_.isEmpty('') // true
_.isEmpty({}) // true
_.isEmpty(undefined) //true
_.isEmpty(null) // true
_.isEmpty('') // true

so in stead of hasValue(value), !_.isEmpty(value) could be used ?

You are totally right! Working on it!
