What is typpy?

Typpy is a lightweight utility for checking JavaScript types. It provides a simple and consistent API to determine the type of a given value, making it easier to handle type checking in your code.

What are typpy's main functionalities?

Type Checking

Typpy allows you to check the type of a given value. It returns a string representing the type, such as 'number', 'string', 'object', 'array', 'null', 'undefined', or 'function'.

const typpy = require('typpy');

console.log(typpy(42)); // 'number'
console.log(typpy('Hello')); // 'string'
console.log(typpy({})); // 'object'
console.log(typpy([])); // 'array'
console.log(typpy(null)); // 'null'
console.log(typpy(undefined)); // 'undefined'
console.log(typpy(() => {})); // 'function'

Type Comparison

Typpy provides a method to compare a value against a specified type. It returns true if the value matches the type, and false otherwise.

const typpy = require('typpy');

console.log(typpy.is(42, 'number')); // true
console.log(typpy.is('Hello', 'string')); // true
console.log(typpy.is({}, 'object')); // true
console.log(typpy.is([], 'array')); // true
console.log(typpy.is(null, 'null')); // true
console.log(typpy.is(undefined, 'undefined')); // true
console.log(typpy.is(() => {}, 'function')); // true

Custom Type Checking

Typpy can also handle custom types. When you create an instance of a custom class, Typpy will return the class name as the type.

const typpy = require('typpy');

class CustomType {}
const customInstance = new CustomType();

console.log(typpy(customInstance)); // 'customtype'
console.log(typpy.is(customInstance, 'customtype')); // true
