const isEmpty = val => val == null || !(Object.keys(val) || val).length;

console.log(isEmpty(new Map()));
console.log(isEmpty(new Set()));
console.log(isEmpty([]));
console.log(isEmpty({}));
console.log(isEmpty(''));
console.log(isEmpty([1, 2]));
console.log(isEmpty({ a: 1, b: 2 }));
console.log(isEmpty('text'));
