is-any-array

What is is-any-array?

The is-any-array npm package is a utility that helps determine if a given value is an array. It is particularly useful in scenarios where you need to validate input types or ensure that certain operations are performed on arrays.

What are is-any-array's main functionalities?

Basic Array Check

This feature allows you to check if a given value is an array. It returns true if the value is an array and false otherwise.

const isAnyArray = require('is-any-array');

console.log(isAnyArray([1, 2, 3])); // true
console.log(isAnyArray('not an array')); // false

Array-like Objects Check

This feature extends the basic array check to include array-like objects such as typed arrays. It helps in identifying more complex array structures.

const isAnyArray = require('is-any-array');

console.log(isAnyArray({ length: 0 })); // false
console.log(isAnyArray(new Int8Array(2))); // true

Other packages similar to is-any-array

is-array

The is-array package provides a simple utility to check if a value is an array. It is similar to is-any-array but does not support array-like objects such as typed arrays.

lodash.isarray

The lodash.isarray package is a part of the Lodash library that specifically checks if a value is an array. It offers similar functionality to is-any-array but is part of a larger utility library.

arrayify

The arrayify package converts a value to an array if it is not already one. While it doesn't directly check if a value is an array, it ensures that the value can be safely used as an array, providing a different approach to handling array-like values.
