Package Exports
- is2
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 (is2) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
is2
is2 is a type-checking module for node.js to test values. Is does not throw exceptions and every function only returns true or false. Use is2 to validate types in your node.js code. Every function in is2 returns either true of false.
After finding Enrico Marino's module is, the concise syntax amazed, but there were syntax issues that made using is difficult. This fork of is fixes those issues, but the module is no longer cross-platform. Also, added tests via mocha which can be run using 'npm test'.
Installation
To install is2, type:
$ npm install is2Usage
var is = require('is2');
console.log('true is equal to 1===1: '+(is.equal(true, 1===1));
console.log('10 is a positive number: '+(is.positiveNumber(10));
console.log('11 is an odd number: '+(is.oddNumber(11));API
