advanced-type

I needed something more precise than JavaScript's typeof keyword so I created this.

Install:

NPM

npm install advanced-type

Browser

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/advanced-type@latest/browser.js"></script>

Usage

const type = require('advanced-type');

console.log(type(PARAM));

while replacing PARAM with any value.

To get the type of multiple items, use the multiple function:

const type = require('advanced-type');

const items = [1, {}, [], NaN, "hello"];

console.log(type.multiple(items)); // ['number', 'object', 'array' 'NaN', 'string']

For multiple items, one single data type can be forced. Use the output of type() is recommended:

const type = require('advanced-type');

const items1 = [1, {}, [], NaN, "hello"];
const items2 = [5, 4, 3, 8, 10];

console.log(type.multiple(items1), type('')); // [false, false, false, false, true]

console.log(type.multiple(items2), type(0)); // [true, true, true, true, true]
