Advanced tools
Package description
The lodash.isplainobject npm package is a module that provides a function to check if a given value is a plain object, that is, an object created by the Object constructor or one with a null prototype.
Check for plain objects
This feature allows you to verify if a value is a plain object. It returns true for objects created by the Object constructor or with a null prototype and false for any other type of value, including arrays, functions, and instances of built-in JavaScript types like Date.
const isPlainObject = require('lodash.isplainobject');
console.log(isPlainObject({})); // true
console.log(isPlainObject(Object.create(null))); // true
console.log(isPlainObject([1, 2, 3])); // false
console.log(isPlainObject(Function)); // false
console.log(isPlainObject(new Date())); // falseis-plain-object is a package that offers similar functionality to lodash.isplainobject. It checks if an object is a plain object, that is, an object created by the Object constructor or one with a null prototype. It is a smaller package focused solely on this functionality, which might be preferable for those looking to minimize their dependency footprint.
isobject is another npm package that provides a function to check if a value is an object. It's more general than lodash.isplainobject as it returns true for any JavaScript object, not just plain objects. This means it will return true for arrays, functions, and other object types, which might not be desirable if you specifically need to check for plain objects.
