lodash.isobject
Advanced tools
Package description
The lodash.isobject npm package is a utility module that provides functionality to check if a value is the type of Object. It is part of the larger Lodash library, which is a comprehensive toolkit of JavaScript utilities that provides consistency, customization, performance, and extras. lodash.isobject specifically helps in determining whether a provided value is an object, which is useful in various data validation and formatting scenarios in JavaScript programming.
Object Type Checking
This feature allows developers to check if a given value is an object. It returns true for objects and arrays (since arrays are technically objects in JavaScript), but false for functions, null, and non-object values.
const isObject = require('lodash.isobject');
console.log(isObject({})); // true
console.log(isObject([1, 2, 3])); // true
console.log(isObject(Function)); // false
console.log(isObject(null)); // falseis-plain-object is a package that checks if a given value is a plain object, that is, an object created by the Object constructor or one with a [[Prototype]] of null. It is more specific compared to lodash.isobject as it does not consider arrays or any objects created through user-defined classes as plain objects.
is-object is another npm package that provides functionality to check if a value is a non-null object. This package is similar to lodash.isobject but does not consider functions as objects, making it slightly stricter in its checks compared to lodash.isobject.
