Package Exports

mout-lang-type
mout-lang-type/lang/typeOf

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 (mout-lang-type) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

mout-lang-type

An extension to mout/lang utilities for nerds

mout-lang-type is an extension to MOUT’s lang utilities. It provides two modules: A typeOf and an isType function to be used instead of the included kindOf and isKind functions. The difference is that types are expressed in lowerCamelCase and represent the built-in objects [[Class]] internal slot tags while MOUT’s kinds are expressed in UpperCamelCase representing the overall tags of objects, even of so-called non-standard exotic objects.

Getting started

Installation

Install this extension as a dependency to your project using Bower:

$ bower install --save mout-lang-type

Alternatively, it is also available using npm:

$ npm install --save mout-lang-type

Usage

You can load and use this extension as a module using the AMD or CommonJS API:

// Load the overall module:
var
  _moutLangType = require('mout-lang-type');

// Use the overall module:
_moutLangType.lang.typeOf( null ) === 'null'; // true
_moutLangType.lang.isType( null, 'object' ); // false

// Load all lang utilities:
var
  _lang = require('mout-lang-type/lang');

// Use the lang utilities:
_lang.typeOf( new Date ) === 'date'; // true
_lang.isType( new String('foo'), 'string' ); // true

// Load the individual utilities:
var
  _isType = require('mout-lang-type/lang/isType'),
  _typeOf = require('mout-lang-type/lang/typeOf');

// Use the individual utilities:
_typeOf( [1, 2, 3] ) === 'array'; // true;
_isKind( new RegExp, 'regExp') // true;

Keep in mind that the module’s name mout-lang-type in AMD is actually just the module’s root directory and can differ from the example above depending on your deployed scripts directory structure.
