react-is

This package allows you to test arbitrary values and see if they're a particular React type, e.g. React Elements.

Installation

# Yarn
yarn add react-is

# NPM
npm install react-is --save

Usage

AsyncMode

import React from "react";
import * as ReactIs from 'react-is';

ReactIs.isAsyncMode(<React.unstable_AsyncMode />); // true
ReactIs.typeOf(<React.unstable_AsyncMode />) === ReactIs.AsyncMode; // true

Context

import React from "react";
import * as ReactIs from 'react-is';

const ThemeContext = React.createContext("blue");

ReactIs.isContextConsumer(<ThemeContext.Consumer />); // true
ReactIs.isContextProvider(<ThemeContext.Provider />); // true
ReactIs.typeOf(<ThemeContext.Provider />) === ReactIs.ContextProvider; // true
ReactIs.typeOf(<ThemeContext.Consumer />) === ReactIs.ContextConsumer; // true

Element

import React from "react";
import * as ReactIs from 'react-is';

ReactIs.isElement(<div />); // true
ReactIs.typeOf(<div />) === ReactIs.Element; // true

Fragment

import React from "react";
import * as ReactIs from 'react-is';

ReactIs.isFragment(<></>); // true
ReactIs.typeOf(<></>) === ReactIs.Fragment; // true

Portal

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import * as ReactIs from 'react-is';

const div = document.createElement("div");
const portal = ReactDOM.createPortal(<div />, div);

ReactIs.isPortal(portal); // true
ReactIs.typeOf(portal) === ReactIs.Portal; // true

StrictMode

import React from "react";
import * as ReactIs from 'react-is';

ReactIs.isStrictMode(<React.StrictMode />); // true
ReactIs.typeOf(<React.StrictMode />) === ReactIs.StrictMode; // true

Similar packages

Other packages similar to react-is

prop-types

The prop-types package is used for type-checking props passed to React components. It provides runtime type checking for React props and similar functionality for validating component inputs, but it does not offer the same utilities for identifying React element types as react-is.

enzyme

Enzyme is a testing utility for React that makes it easier to assert, manipulate, and traverse your React Components' output. While it includes methods for type-checking and identifying components, it is more focused on testing utilities rather than providing a comprehensive set of type identifiers like react-is.
