simple-type-check
Advanced tools
Simple and very small JavaScript library to check types and instanceof.
Install with npm:
npm install simple-type-check
Include module in your file:
const simpleTypeCheck = require('simple-type-check');
You need to call the function with the parameters value
and type
. Value can be anything and the type needs to be a string for type checking or the function for instanceof checking.
const value = 1234;
const type = 'number';
const result = simpleTypeCheck(value , type);
// result is now true.
In the default settings the library returns true
if the check was successful and throws an Error
if it fails.
const value = 'string';
const type = 'number';
const result = simpleTypeCheck(value , type);
// result is undefinied and the error: "string is not of type number" is thrown.
The third argument is throwError
, which is default true
. You can add false
as the third argument. Then the library will not throw an Error
and instead return false
.
const value = 'string';
const type = 'number';
const result = simpleTypeCheck(value , type, false);
// result is false.
If you want to test an Array
, HTMLElement
or something similar, you can do this too. In this case you need to add the function as type
.
const value = [];
const type = Array;
const result = simpleTypeCheck(value , type);
// result is true.
const value = document.getElementById("testId");
const type = window.HTMLElement;
const result = simpleTypeCheck(value , type);
// result is true.
The following types are testet, anything different should work too. You are welcome to add a PR with the test for more types.
Type | Works |
---|---|
Array | ✅ |
HTMLElement | ✅ |
'number' | ✅ |
'function' | ✅ |
'boolean' | ✅ |
'object' | ✅ |
'string' | ✅ |
'undefined' | ✅ |
