typical
Isomorphic, functional type-checking for Javascript.
Example
import t from 'typical'
const allDefined = array.every(t.isDefined)- typical

boolean
- .isNumber(n) ⇒
t.isNumber(n) ⇒ boolean
Returns true if input is a number (including infinity). It is a more reasonable alternative to typeof n which returns number for NaN.
Kind: static method of typical
Returns: boolean - true if input is a number
| Param | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| n | * |
The input to test |
Example
> t.isNumber(0)
true
> t.isNumber(1)
true
> t.isNumber(1.1)
true
> t.isNumber(0xff)
true
> t.isNumber(0644)
true
> t.isNumber(6.2e5)
true
> t.isNumber(NaN)
false
> t.isNumber(Infinity)
true
t.isFiniteNumber(n) ⇒ boolean
Returns true if input is a finite number. Identical to isNumber beside excluding infinity.
Kind: static method of typical
| Param | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| n | * |
The input to test |
Example
> t.isFiniteNumber(0)
true
> t.isFiniteNumber(1)
true
> t.isFiniteNumber(1.1)
true
> t.isFiniteNumber(0xff)
true
> t.isFiniteNumber(0644)
true
> t.isFiniteNumber(6.2e5)
true
> t.isFiniteNumber(NaN)
false
> t.isFiniteNumber(Infinity)
false
t.isPlainObject(input) ⇒ boolean
A plain object is a simple object literal, it is not an instance of a class. Returns true if the input typeof is object and directly decends from Object.
Kind: static method of typical
| Param | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| input | * |
The input to test |
Example
> t.isPlainObject({ something: 'one' })
true
> t.isPlainObject(new Date())
false
> t.isPlainObject([ 0, 1 ])
false
> t.isPlainObject(/test/)
false
> t.isPlainObject(1)
false
> t.isPlainObject('one')
false
> t.isPlainObject(null)
false
> t.isPlainObject((function * () {})())
false
> t.isPlainObject(function * () {})
false
t.isArrayLike(input) ⇒ boolean
An array-like value has all the properties of an array yet is not an array instance. An example is the arguments object. Returns true`` if the input value is an object, notnull` and has alength` property set with a numeric value.
Kind: static method of typical
| Param | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| input | * |
The input to test |
Example
function sum(x, y){
console.log(t.isArrayLike(arguments))
// prints `true`
}
t.isObject(input) ⇒ boolean
Returns true if the typeof input is 'object' but not null.
Kind: static method of typical
| Param | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| input | * |

t.isDefined(input) ⇒ boolean
Returns true if the input value is defined.
Kind: static method of typical

t.isUndefined(input) ⇒ boolean
Returns true if the input value is undefined.

t.isNull(input) ⇒ boolean
Returns true if the input value is null.
Kind: static method of typical

t.isIterable(input) ⇒ boolean
Returns true if the input is an iterable (Map, Set, Array, Generator etc.).
Kind: static method of typical

Example
> t.isIterable('string')
true

true
> t.isIterable([])
true
> t.isIterable((function * () {})())
true
> t.isIterable(Promise.resolve())

false
> t.isIterable(Date)
false
> t.isIterable()
false

false
t.isString(input) ⇒ boolean
Returns true if the input value is a string. The equivalent of typeof input === 'string' for use in funcitonal contexts.

trueLoad anywhere
This library is compatible with Node.js, the Web and any style of module loader. It can be loaded anywhere, natively without transpilation.
Within a Node.js ECMAScript Module:
import t from 'typical'
import { isNumber } from 'typical'CommonJS:
const t = require('typical')
const { isNumber } = require('typical')Within a modern browser ECMAScript Module:
import t from './node_modules/typical/index.js'© 2014-25 Lloyd Brookes \opensource@75lb.com\.
