ESLint is Now Language-Agnostic: Linting JSON, Markdown, and Beyond
ESLint has added JSON and Markdown linting support with new officially-supported plugins, expanding its versatility beyond JavaScript.
Is this value a JS String object or primitive? This module works cross-realm/iframe, and despite ES6 @@toStringTag.
The is-string npm package is designed to provide a simple and straightforward way to check if a given value is a string. It is useful in various programming scenarios where type validation is required, especially in dynamically typed languages like JavaScript where the type of a variable can change at runtime.
String Type Checking
This feature allows you to check if a given value is a string. It returns true for string literals, string objects created with the new keyword, and false for non-string values.
"use strict";\nconst isString = require('is-string');\n\nconsole.log(isString('hello')); // true\nconsole.log(isString(123)); // false\nconsole.log(isString(new String('hello'))); // true
Similar to is-string, lodash.isstring is a method offered by lodash, a popular utility library. It provides a more comprehensive suite of utilities for various types, but for string checking, it offers similar functionality. Compared to is-string, lodash.isstring comes as part of a larger library, which might not be ideal for projects looking to minimize dependencies.
Validator is a library for string validation and sanitization. While it includes functions to check if a value is a string, its primary focus is on validating and sanitizing strings to ensure they meet certain conditions (e.g., email format, length). It's more feature-rich compared to is-string but also more complex if you only need type checking.
