isObjectLike
Test if a value is object-like.
Usage
var isObjectLike = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-object-like' );
isObjectLike( value )
Tests if a value
is object-like.
var bool = isObjectLike( {} );
// returns true
bool = isObjectLike( [] );
// returns true
bool = isObjectLike( true );
// returns false
isObjectLike.isObjectLikeArray( value )
Tests if a value
is an array
of object-like values.
var bool = isObjectLike.isObjectLikeArray( [ {}, [] ] );
// returns true
bool = isObjectLike.isObjectLikeArray( [ {}, '3.0' ] );
// returns false
bool = isObjectLike.isObjectLikeArray( [] );
// returns false
Notes
Return values are the same as would be obtained using the built-in
typeof
operator except thatnull
is not considered anobject
.var bool = ( typeof null === 'object' ); // returns true bool = isObjectLike( null ); // returns false
Examples
var Int8Array = require( '@stdlib/array/int8' );
var ArrayBuffer = require( '@stdlib/array/buffer' );
var isObjectLike = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-object-like' );
var bool = isObjectLike( {} );
// returns true
bool = isObjectLike( [] );
// returns true
bool = isObjectLike( /./ );
// returns true
bool = isObjectLike( new Date() );
// returns true
bool = isObjectLike( Math );
// returns true
bool = isObjectLike( JSON );
// returns true
bool = isObjectLike( new Int8Array() );
// returns true
bool = isObjectLike( new ArrayBuffer() );
// returns true
bool = isObjectLike( 'a' );
// returns false
bool = isObjectLike( 5 );
// returns false
bool = isObjectLike( null );
// returns false
bool = isObjectLike( void 0 );
// returns false
bool = isObjectLike( function foo() {} );
// returns false
