Test if MultiField has items

How can you use data-sly-test to check if a MultiField Helper has items?

<div data-sly-use.helper="${'com.cibcpublic.aem.core.util.MultiFieldHelper' @ propertyName='socialmedia'}" data-sly-unwrap>

I tried <div data-sly-test="${socialmedia.listChildren}"> but that didn't work.

Never tried testing on front end - most of the time when using Multi-field - we are reading the Multi-field data (that an author enters) using Java on the backend - see:

As you can see in these articles - you can get at the node level and then write app logic to read the node to see if there are values.

I'm talking about in Sightly just detecting if items and their fields have been entered in the dialog by the author.
