Package Exports
- object-types
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 (object-types) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

typeof [];
//=> 'object'
objectTypes([]);
//=> 'array'
typeof new Object(true);
//=> 'object'
objectTypes(new Object(true));
//=> 'boolean'
typeof {};
//=> 'object'
objectTypes({});
//=> 'object'The Problem
JavaScript objects can be of various object types. As an example, a string can be a string or a string can be an object string:
typeof 'example string';
//=> string
typeof new Object('example string');
//=> objectIt seems like you can treat literal strings the same as object strings:
const myArray = ['a string', new Object('my string object')];
myArray.map(elem => {
return elem.toUpperCase()
});
//=> ['A STRING', 'MY STRING OBJECT']But not always. Equality operators do not behave the same.
const myArray = ['a string', new Object('my string object')];
typeof myArray[0] === myArray[1]
//=> falseWith object-types, you can stop getting object for all of your typeof calls.
const myArray = [1,2,3];
const obj = new Object([1,2,3]);
typeof myArray === typeof obj;
//=> false
typeof myArray === objectTypes(obj);
//=> trueAPI
objectTypes(obj)
