Explination

In case we are using JavaScript objects for hashtable sulution then, we can rely on any of its inherited properties such as hasOwnProperty here is an example

var obj = {
	name: 'vikram',
	hasOwnProperty: 'dummy'
};

console.log(obj.hasOwnProperty('hasOwnProperty'));
// -> TypeError: Property 'hasOwnProperty' of object obj is not a function

In above example it tries to execute inherited hasOwnProperty and which not a function.

The workaround for this problem is to use Object.prototype hasOwnProperty method

require('o-has')(object, key)

Arguments:

• object: Object
• key: the key that to be checked

Returns: Returns true if an object has a given property
