Function isPlainArray

Checks if a value passes Array.isArray and has prototype Array.prototype.

Remarks

This is useful for checking that the prototype of an array has not been modified. However, this will return false for arrays created in other realms since they will have a different prototype.

Example

Basic usage

isPlainArray([]) // true
isPlainArray(new Array()) // true

isPlainArray(new Uint16Array()) // false
isPlainArray(Object.create(Array.prototype)) // false
isPlainArray(Object.create(null)) // false
isPlainArray(null) // false
Copy

Comparison with Array.isArray:

class MyArray extends Array {}
Array.isArray(new MyArray()) // true
isPlainArray(new MyArray()) // false
Copy
