The easy-peasy zero-dependency JavaScript type checker that asks, "What typa input is that?" Minified packaged version is 2 entire KB.

Notice: Breaking changes in v0.3.0. New bundler, plus nll is now nil and noru is now nullish.

  // => 'Hello!'

if (is.str(goodbye)) console.log(hello)
  // => no result

Typa Method

Ternary operator that checks if the supplied value matches the specified type, then returns the first callback function or value if true or the second callback function or value if false.

.typa($type, $value, $fn1, $fn2)

 const isStr = () => console.log('I am a string')
const aintStr = () => console.log('I am not a string')

is.typa('str', 'Am I a string?', isStr, aintStr)
// => 'I am a string'

is.typa('str', ['Am', 'I', 'a', 'string', '?'], isStr, aintStr)
// => 'I am not a string'

What Method

Returns a string or an array of strings matching the type of the supplied value.

.what($value)

 is.what('This is a string')
// => 'string'

is.what(['This', 'is', 'an', 'array'])
// => ['array', 'object']

isBad = is.bad(undefined)
// => true

isBad = is.bad({})
// => true

isBad = is.bad(new Error('This is an error'))
// => true

.bool($value) — Boolean

 let isBool = is.bool(true)
// => true

isBool = is.bool(false)
// => true

.date($value) — Date

 const isDate = is.date(new Date())
// => true

.empty($value) — Empty string, array, or object

 let isEmpty = is.empty('')

isEmpty = is.empty([])
// => true

isEmpty = is.empty({})
// => true

.err($value) — Error

 const isErr = is.err(new Error('This is an error.'))
// => true

.fn($value) — Function

 const isFn = is.fn(() => {
  console.log('Hi!')
})
// => true

.int($value) — Integer

 const isInt = is.int(12)
// => true

.json($value, $type ['str'|'obj']) — JSON string (default) or object

 let isJson = is.json('{"key": "value"}')
// => true

isJson = is.json({ key: 'value' }, 'obj')
// => true

.nil($value) — Null

 const isNil = is.nil(null)
// => true

.nullish($value) — Null or Undefined

 let isNullish = is.nullish(null)
// => true

isNullish = is.nullish(undefined)
// => true

.num($value) — Number

 const isNum = is.num(28.2)
// => true

.obj($value) — Object

 const isObj = is.obj({ key: 'value' })
// => true

.prom($value) — Promise

 const myPromise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  try {
    console.log('I make a promise to you')
    resolve()
  } catch (err) {
    reject(err)
  }
})

const isProm = is.prom(myPromise)
// => true
