Package Exports

@stdlib/assert-is-object-like

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stdlib/assert-is-object-like) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

isObjectLike

Test if a value is object-like.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/assert-is-object-like

Usage

var isObjectLike = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-object-like' );

isObjectLike( value )

Tests if a value is object-like.

var bool = isObjectLike( {} );
// returns true

bool = isObjectLike( [] );
// returns true

bool = isObjectLike( true );
// returns false

isObjectLike.isObjectLikeArray( value )

Tests if a value is an array of object-like values.

var bool = isObjectLike.isObjectLikeArray( [ {}, [] ] );
// returns true

bool = isObjectLike.isObjectLikeArray( [ {}, '3.0' ] );
// returns false

bool = isObjectLike.isObjectLikeArray( [] );
// returns false

Notes

Return values are the same as would be obtained using the built-in typeof operator except that null is not considered an object.

var bool = ( typeof null === 'object' );
// returns true

bool = isObjectLike( null );
// returns false

Examples

var Int8Array = require( '@stdlib/array-int8' );
var ArrayBuffer = require( '@stdlib/array-buffer' );
var isObjectLike = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-object-like' );

var bool = isObjectLike( {} );
// returns true

bool = isObjectLike( [] );
// returns true

bool = isObjectLike( /./ );
// returns true

bool = isObjectLike( new Date() );
// returns true

bool = isObjectLike( Math );
// returns true

bool = isObjectLike( JSON );
// returns true

bool = isObjectLike( new Int8Array() );
// returns true

bool = isObjectLike( new ArrayBuffer() );
// returns true

bool = isObjectLike( 'a' );
// returns false

bool = isObjectLike( 5 );
// returns false

bool = isObjectLike( null );
// returns false

bool = isObjectLike( void 0 );
// returns false

bool = isObjectLike( function foo() {} );
// returns false
