validate dynamically generated variable in using javascript

Question

I have a scenario where i need to check whether a variable is not null using java script

Now these variables can be generated automatically and their naming convention is going to be like below

**Attribute.1.Name='aaa'
Attribute.2.Name='aaa'
Attribute.3.Name=''**

and so on.

how do i validate something like this where i do not now the exact variable name. All i know is the pattern of the variable.

Code example

FunctionName({'Attribute.1.Name':'test','Attribute.2.Name':'test2'});

Thanks

How are those variables generated? In which scope are they stored? — Darin Dimitrov

so the user will write them while calling one of my api's, so basically this way user can pass multiple values for one property — Amit

var FunctionName = function(parameters) {
    if (parameters['Attribute.1.Name'] == null) {
        ...
    }
}

and if you wanted to loop through all properties of the object:

var FunctionName = function(parameters) {
    for (var name in parameters) {
        if (parameters.hasOwnProperty(name)) {
            if (parameters[name] == null) {
                ...
            }
        }
    }
}

@Darin-- these parameters are dynamic and user can enter any number of them. so hard coding won't work

@Amit, then you could loop through them as shown in my second example.
