Package Exports

@stdlib/assert-is-property-key
@stdlib/assert-is-property-key/lib/index.js

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-property-key) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

isPropertyKey

Test whether a value is a property key.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/assert-is-property-key

Usage

var isPropertyKey = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-property-key' );

isPropertyKey( value )

Tests whether a value is a property key.

var bool = isPropertyKey( 'beep' );
// returns true

bool = isPropertyKey( 3.14 );
// returns false

Notes

A valid property key is either a string, symbol, or a nonnegative integer. For example, 'beep', Symbol( 'beep' ), and 3 are all valid property keys.
Only primitive values are considered to be valid property keys. This excludes object wrappers such as new String( 'beep' ).

Examples

var Symbol = require( '@stdlib/symbol-ctor' );
var hasSymbolSupport = require( '@stdlib/assert-has-symbol-support' );
var isPropertyKey = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-property-key' );

var hasSymbols = hasSymbolSupport();
var bool = isPropertyKey( 'beep' );
// returns true

if ( hasSymbols ) {
    bool = isPropertyKey( Symbol( 'beep' ) );
    // returns true
} else {
    console.log( 'Environment does not support symbols.' );
}

bool = isPropertyKey( 37 );
// returns true

bool = isPropertyKey( {} );
// returns false

bool = isPropertyKey( [] );
// returns false

Notice

This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
