Description

Provides functionality for type checking

Support

Supports both CommonJS and AMD eco system. If there is no loader, TypeCheck is registered as a browser variable.

Code Example

• Use it as browser variable

function A(){ }
TypeCheck.isString(""); // true
TypeCheck.isBoolean(true); // true
TypeCheck.isNumber(1); // true
TypeCheck.isObject({ name: "jean" }); // true
TypeCheck.isEmptyObject({}); // true
TypeCheck.isFunction(function(){}); // true
TypeCheck.isDefined(undefined); //false
TypeCheck.isArray([]); // true
TypeCheck.isEmptyArray([]); // true
TypeCheck.isArrayTypeOf(["1","2", "3"], "number"); // true
TypeCheck.areObjectsInstanceOf([new A(), new A(), new A()], A); // true
TypeCheck.isInstanceOf(new A(), A); // true
TypeCheck.isEnumValue("test", { TEST: "test" }); // true

• Use it with require.js

require(["path/to/TypeCheck"], function(TypeCheck){
    // Work with TypeCheck
});

• Use it with node.js

var TypeCheck = require("jean-type-check");

Installation

npm install jean-type-check --save --legacy-bundling

API Reference

TypeCheck.isString(o)

Checks if provided element type is string

Parameters

• o: Any - element to be checked

Returns

• Boolean - True, if element type is string, false otherwise

TypeCheck.isBoolean(o)

Checks if provided element type is boolean

Parameters

• o: Any - element to be checked

Returns

• Boolean - True, if element type is boolean, false otherwise

TypeCheck.isNumber(o)

Checks if provided element type is number

Parameters

• o: Any - element to be checked

Returns

• Boolean - True, if element type is number, false otherwise

TypeCheck.isObject(o)

Checks if provided element is an object

Parameters

• o: Any - element to be checked

Returns

• Boolean - True, if element is object, false otherwise

TypeCheck.isEmptyObject(o)

Checks if provided element is an empty object

Parameters

• o: Any - element to be checked

Returns

• Boolean - True, if element is empty, false otherwise

TypeCheck.isFunction(o)

Checks if provided element is a function

Parameters

• o: Any - element to be checked

• Returns Boolean - True, if element is a function, false otherwise

TypeCheck.isDefined(o)

Checks if provided element is defined

Parameters

• o: Any - element to be checked

Returns

• Boolean - True, if element is defined, false otherwise

TypeCheck.isArray(o)

Checks if provided element is an array

Parameters

• o: Any - element to be checked

Returns

• Boolean - True, if element is an array, false otherwise

TypeCheck.isEmptyArray(o)

Checks if provided element is an empty array

Parameters

• o: Any - element to be checked

Returns

• Boolean - True, if element is an empty array, false otherwise

TypeCheck.isArrayTypeOf(array, type)

Checks if all elements in this array have the same type

Parameters

• array: Any[], Array to be checked
• type: String, Type of elements in this array. Valid values are all which matches to the typeof operator

Returns

• Boolean - True, if all elements have the same type, false otherwise

TypeCheck.areObjectsInstanceOf(array, fn)

Checks if all objects within array have the same instance

Parameters

• array: Object[], The array which objects shall be checked
• fn: Function, The constructor function

Returns

• Boolean - True, if all elements have the same instance, false otherwise

TypeCheck.areObjectsInstancesOf(objects, constructors)

Checks if the objects have are instances of the provided constructors

Parameters

• objects: Object[], The array which objects shall be checked
• constructors: Function[], The constructor functions

Returns

• Boolean - True, if the elements are instances of the provided constructors, false otherwise

TypeCheck.isInstanceOf(child, parent)

Checks if child is an instance of parent

Parameters

• child: Object, The object which shall be checked
• parent: Function, The function which shall be the constructor

Returns

• Boolean - True, if child is an instance of parent, false otherwise

TypeCheck.isEnumValue(value, o)

Checks if the provided value is a value of the provided object which is used as an enum

Parameters

• value: String|Number, The value
• o: Object, The object which shall be checked

Returns

• Boolean - True if value is part of o, false otherwise
