A collection of composable JavaScript runtime type predicates with TypeScript type guard declarations
Isntnt is a collection of composable JavaScript runtime type predicates with TypeScript type guard declarations. Supports generics including union and intersection types.
A predicate is a function that checks whether a value matches a certain type, it always returns a boolean. Well known examples of JavaScript predicates are Array.isArray, isNan, and Number.isNaN. With isntnt you add a whole slew of additional predicates to your toolbox, they are listed below.
