Function isObjectLoose

Checks if a value is typeof object and not null.

Remarks

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

Basic usage

isObjectLoose({}) // true

Copy

Type narrowing

const value: string | { foo: string }

if (isObjectLoose(value)) {
  value // type: { foo: string }
} else {
  value // type: string
}

// warning: arrays will pass
const value: { bar: string } | string[] | null

if (isObjectLoose(value)) {
  value // type: { bar: string } | string[]
} else {
  value // type: null
}
Copy
