Function isObject

Checks if a value is typeof object and not null or an array.

Remarks

This function will return false for an array. If you do not want this behavior, use isObjectLoose instead.

Example

Basic usage

isObject({}) // true
isObject([]) // false
isObject(null) // false
Copy

Type narrowing

const value: { foo: string } | string[]

if (isObject(value)) {
  value // type: { foo: string }
} else {
  value // type: string[]
}

// works with function too
const value: { foo: string } | (() => string)

if (isObject(value)) {
  value // type: { foo: string }
  value.foo // ok
} else {
  value // (() => string)
  value() // ok
}
Copy

Paired with assert

import { assert } from 'uft'

const options: { opt: string } | string[]
assert(isObject(options), 'expected options object')
options // type: { opt: string }
Copy
