What is type-name?

The type-name npm package is used to get the name of a JavaScript value's type. It is particularly useful for debugging and logging purposes, where knowing the exact type of a value can be crucial.

What are type-name's main functionalities?

Basic Type Identification

This feature allows you to identify the basic types of JavaScript values such as numbers, strings, and booleans.

const typeName = require('type-name');
console.log(typeName(123)); // 'Number'
console.log(typeName('hello')); // 'String'
console.log(typeName(true)); // 'Boolean'

Object Type Identification

This feature helps in identifying the types of more complex objects like arrays, dates, and plain objects.

const typeName = require('type-name');
console.log(typeName({})); // 'Object'
console.log(typeName([])); // 'Array'
console.log(typeName(new Date())); // 'Date'

Custom Class Type Identification

This feature allows you to identify instances of custom classes, which can be particularly useful in larger codebases with many custom types.

const typeName = require('type-name');
class MyClass {}
console.log(typeName(new MyClass())); // 'MyClass'
