isBoxedPrimitive

Test if a value is a JavaScript boxed primitive.

Usage

var isBoxedPrimitive = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-boxed-primitive' );

isBoxedPrimitive( value )

Tests if a value is a JavaScript boxed primitive.

var Boolean = require( '@stdlib/boolean/ctor' );

var bool = isBoxedPrimitive( new Boolean( false ) );
// returns true

bool = isBoxedPrimitive( true );
// returns false

Notes

  • Boxed primitive objects can be created with one of the following:

    • new Boolean()
    • new Number()
    • new String()
    • Object( Symbol() ) (ES6/ES2015)

Examples

var Boolean = require( '@stdlib/boolean/ctor' );
var Number = require( '@stdlib/number/ctor' );
var isBoxedPrimitive = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-boxed-primitive' );

var bool = isBoxedPrimitive( new Boolean( false ) );
// returns true

bool = isBoxedPrimitive( new String( 'beep' ) );
// returns true

bool = isBoxedPrimitive( new Number( 3.14 ) );
// returns true

bool = isBoxedPrimitive( false );
// returns false

bool = isBoxedPrimitive( 0 );
// returns false

bool = isBoxedPrimitive( '' );
// returns false

bool = isBoxedPrimitive( null );
// returns false

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

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

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