How do I check if a query string passed to an Express.js application contains any values? If I have an API URL that could be either: http://example.com/api/objects or http://example.com/api/objects?name=itemName, what conditional statements work to determine which I am dealing with?

My current code is below, and it always evaluates to the 'should have no string' option.

if (req.query !== {}) {

    console.log('should have no query string');

}

else {

    console.log('should have query string');

}
