npm i @engineersamuel/istruthy
Most truthiness libraries are either extremely basic or simply adhere to the standard defnition of Truthy in JavaScript.
However, what happens when you want to consider '', [], {}, 0, or [null] false? This is where @engineersamuel/istruthy comes in.
$ npm i -D @engineersamuel/istruthy
import { isTruthy, isFalsy } from '@engineersamuel/istruthy';
console.log(isTruthy('abc')); // prints true
console.log(isTruthy('', { isEmptyStringFalse: true })); // prints false
console.log(isFalse('abc')); // prints false
console.log(isFalsy('', { isEmptyStringFalse: true })); // prints true
See the *.spec.ts files in the ./test directory for a great reference on using isTruthy.
If you want to reference this library directly in html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>My Page</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<!-- Other resources here -->
<!-- ... -->
<!-- Assembler CSS -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@engineersamuel/istruthy@1.0.0/dist/index.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Your code here -->
<script>
console.log(Truthiness.isTruthy('abc')); // prints true
console.log(Truthiness.isTruthy('', { isEmptyStringFalse: true })); // prints false
console.log(Truthiness.isFalse('abc')); // prints false
console.log(Truthiness.isFalsy('', { isEmptyStringFalse: true })); // prints true
</script>
</body>
</html>
Note that the UMD is built with rollup.js (Which is minimally necessary considering there are no dependencies) and the global variable name is Truthiness hence in the above browser environment you would access isTruthy via Truthiness.isTruthy.
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| isZeroFalse | false | When set to true then 0 will be will be evaluated to false. Ex. isTruthy(0, { isZeroFalse: true}); // returns false |
| isInfinityFalse | false | When set to true then Infinity and -Infinity will be will be evaluated to false. Ex. isTruthy(Infinity, { isInfinityFalse: true}); // returns false |
| isEmptyStringFalse | false | When set to true then '' will be will be evaluated to false. Ex. isTruthy('', { isEmptyStringFalse: true}); // returns false |
| isEmptyObjectFalse | false | When set to true then {} will be will be evaluated to false. Ex. isTruthy({}, { isEmptyObjectFalse: true}); // returns false |
| isEmptyArrayFalse | false | When set to true then [] will be will be evaluated to false. Ex. isTruthy([], { isEmptyArrayFalse: true}); // returns false |
| isFilteredArrayFalse | false | When set to true then [null, undefined] will be will be evaluated to false. Ex. isTruthy([null, undefined], { isFilteredArrayFalse: true }); // returns false Note: This specific flag will recursively check each value, so passing options to isTruthy are recursively respected. |
| isFalsyArrayFalse | false | When set to true then [null, undefined] will be will be evaluated to false. Ex. isTruthy([null, undefined], { isFalsyArrayFalse: true})/ // returns false Ex. isTruthy([0, ''], { isFalsyArrayFalse: true, isZeroFalse: true, isEmptyStringFalse: true }); // returns false Note: This specific flag will recursively check each value, so passing options to isTruthy are recursively respected. |
