Standard library assertion utilities.
npm install @stdlib/assert
var assert = require( '@stdlib/assert' );
Included in this namespace is a comprehensive suite of assertion utilities, such as utilities for testing for various data types and others for testing for JavaScript feature support.
var o = assert;
// returns {...}
To validate the built-in JavaScript data types, the namespace includes the following assertion utilities:
isArray( value ): test if a value is an array.isBoolean( value ): test if a value is a boolean.isDateObject( value ): test if a value is a Date object.isFunction( value ): test if a value is a function.isnan( value ): test if a value is NaN.isNull( value ): test if a value is null.isNumber( value ): test if a value is a number.isObject( value ): test if a value is an object.isRegExp( value ): test if a value is a regular expression.isString( value ): test if a value is a string.isSymbol( value ): test if a value is a symbol.isUndefined( value ): test if a value is undefined.For primitive types having corresponding object wrappers, assertion utilities provide isObject and isPrimitive methods to test for either objects or primitives, respectively.
var isBoolean = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-boolean' );
var bool = isBoolean.isObject( new Boolean( false ) );
// returns true
bool = isBoolean.isObject( false );
// returns false
bool = isBoolean.isPrimitive( false );
// returns true
Many of the assertion utilities have corresponding packages that test whether array elements are of the given data type:
isArrayArray( value ): test if a value is an array of arrays.isBooleanArray( value ): test if a value is an array-like object of booleans.isFunctionArray( value ): test if a value is an array-like object containing only functions.isNaNArray( value ): test if a value is an array-like object containing only NaN values.isNullArray( value ): test if a value is an array-like object containing only null values.isNumberArray( value ): test if a value is an array-like object of numbers.isObjectArray( value ): test if a value is an array-like object containing only objects.isStringArray( value ): test if a value is an array of strings.isSymbolArray( value ): test if a value is an array-like object containing only symbols.Where applicable, similar to the assertion utilities for built-in data types, array assertion utilities provides methods for testing for an array of primitives or objects.
var isStringArray = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-string-array' );
var bool = isStringArray( [ 'hello', 'world' ] );
// returns true
bool = isStringArray.primitives( [ 'hello', 'world' ] );
// returns true
bool = isStringArray.objects( [ 'hello', 'world' ] );
// returns false
bool = isStringArray.objects( [ new String( 'hello' ), new String( 'world' ) ] );
// returns true
