is-nan
Advanced tools
Package description
The is-nan npm package is a simple utility that provides a reliable way to check if a value is NaN (Not-a-Number) in JavaScript. It is especially useful because it handles some edge cases that the global isNaN() function does not correctly address.
Check for NaN
This feature allows you to check if a value is NaN. It is more reliable than the native isNaN function because it correctly identifies only the values that are truly NaN, without coercion.
var isNaN = require('is-nan');
console.log(isNaN(NaN)); // true
console.log(isNaN('NaN')); // false
console.log(isNaN(0/0)); // trueLodash provides a method called _.isNaN which is similar to is-nan. It checks if a value is NaN. Lodash's implementation is part of a larger utility library, which means it might be preferable if you're already using Lodash in your project.
This package offers a polyfill for Number.isNaN, which is a standard method introduced in ES6. It is similar to is-nan but is specifically a polyfill for the Number.isNaN function, which is not available in older environments.
