lodash.isarguments

What is lodash.isarguments?

The lodash.isarguments package is a utility function that checks if a given value is an arguments object. This is useful for type checking and ensuring that the value being worked with is indeed an arguments object, which is a special type of object in JavaScript that holds the arguments passed to a function.

What are lodash.isarguments's main functionalities?

Check if a value is an arguments object

This feature allows you to check if a given value is an arguments object. In the code sample, the `isArguments` function is used to check if the `arguments` object inside `exampleFunction` is indeed an arguments object, which returns true. It also checks if a regular array is an arguments object, which returns false.

const isArguments = require('lodash.isarguments');

function exampleFunction() {
  console.log(isArguments(arguments)); // true
}

exampleFunction();
console.log(isArguments([1, 2, 3])); // false

type-detect

The type-detect package is a more general-purpose type checking library that can detect various types of values, including arguments objects. It offers broader functionality compared to lodash.isarguments, making it useful if you need to perform multiple types of type checks.
