Introducing Enhanced Alert Actions and Triage Functionality
Socket now supports four distinct alert actions instead of the previous two, and alert triaging allows users to override the actions taken for all individual alerts.

Package description
The is-number npm package is a simple utility for checking if a value is a number. It works with various types of numeric representations, including strings that can be coerced to numbers, and provides a straightforward API for determining if a value can be considered a number in JavaScript.
Check if a value is a number
This feature allows you to check if a value is a number, including numeric strings.
const isNumber = require('is-number');
console.log(isNumber(5)); // true
console.log(isNumber('5')); // true
console.log(isNumber('five')); // false
Check if a value is not a number
This feature allows you to check if a value is not a number, including strings that cannot be coerced to numbers and other non-numeric types.
const isNumber = require('is-number');
console.log(isNumber('foo')); // false
console.log(isNumber([1, 2, 3])); // false
Check if a value is a finite number
This feature allows you to check if a value is a finite number, excluding Infinity, -Infinity, and NaN.
const isNumber = require('is-number');
console.log(isNumber(Infinity)); // false
console.log(isNumber(-Infinity)); // false
console.log(isNumber(NaN)); // false
The isnumeric package offers similar functionality to is-number by checking if a value is numeric. It is similar in its simplicity and direct approach.
The numerable package is a more comprehensive library for number validation and formatting. It provides additional functionality compared to is-number, such as parsing and formatting numbers with localization support.
This package is part of the validate.io suite and checks if a value is a number primitive. It is more strict than is-number as it does not consider numeric strings to be numbers.
Readme
Returns true if the value is a finite number.
Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.
Install with npm:
$ npm install --save is-number
In JavaScript, it's not always as straightforward as it should be to reliably check if a value is a number. It's common for devs to use +
, -
, or Number()
to cast a string value to a number (for example, when values are returned from user input, regex matches, parsers, etc). But there are many non-intuitive edge cases that yield unexpected results:
console.log(+[]); //=> 0
console.log(+''); //=> 0
console.log(+' '); //=> 0
console.log(typeof NaN); //=> 'number'
This library offers a performant way to smooth out edge cases like these.
const isNumber = require('is-number');
See the tests for more examples.
isNumber(5e3); // true
isNumber(0xff); // true
isNumber(-1.1); // true
isNumber(0); // true
isNumber(1); // true
isNumber(1.1); // true
isNumber(10); // true
isNumber(10.10); // true
isNumber(100); // true
isNumber('-1.1'); // true
isNumber('0'); // true
isNumber('012'); // true
isNumber('0xff'); // true
isNumber('1'); // true
isNumber('1.1'); // true
isNumber('10'); // true
isNumber('10.10'); // true
isNumber('100'); // true
isNumber('5e3'); // true
isNumber(parseInt('012')); // true
isNumber(parseFloat('012')); // true
Everything else is false, as you would expect:
isNumber(Infinity); // false
isNumber(NaN); // false
isNumber(null); // false
isNumber(undefined); // false
isNumber(''); // false
isNumber(' '); // false
isNumber('foo'); // false
isNumber([1]); // false
isNumber([]); // false
isNumber(function () {}); // false
isNumber({}); // false
