2025 Report: Destructive Malware in Open Source Packages
Destructive malware is rising across open source registries, using delays and kill switches to wipe code, break builds, and disrupt CI/CD.
This module uses the Object.prototype.toString() method to provide better type checking and supports comparing the types of multiple values. It's just 580 Bytes in size all bundled up as a UMD module, minified & gzipped(PR to reduce this further would be awesome 🎉).
cdn:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/samesame/lib/samesame.min.js"></script>
<!-- Or -->
<script src="https://rawgit.com/tiaanduplessis/samesame/master/lib/samesame.min.js"></script>
npm or yarn:
$ npm install --save samesame
# OR
$ yarn add samesame
The module exports a single function that can take multiple arguments and returns boolean value.
const samesame = require('samesame')
samesame('They hate us', 'cause they ain\'t us')
samesame({}, {}) // true
samesame({}, 'Object') // true
samesame({}, undefined) // false
samesame('foo', 'bar', 'baz') // true
samesame('Boolean', true, false) // true
samesame([], 'Array') // true
samesame(true, 5) // false
samesame(/foo/, 'RegExp') // true
samesame('Function', () => {}) // true
Supported type strings that can be passed as an argument are:
