ECMAScript 2015 compliant typeof extension
npm install get-type-of
> An ECMAScript 2015 compliant typeof extension for Node.js
__get-type-of__ is a wrapper function that extends JavaScript’s native typeof operator in the most compliant way to ECMAScript 2015 as possible. It checks values of their _native types_ that represent the built-in objects [[Class]] internal slot tags regardless of whether they are primitives or instantiated objects:
``js`
typeof [ 1, 2, 3 ]; // 'object'
getTypeOf( [1, 2, 3] ); // 'array'
Technically, this module depends on mout-lang-type and just aliases its submodule under this module’s name get-type-of.
sh
$ npm install --save get-type-of@latest
`$3
Just require this module and it’s ready to be used:
js
// Load the module:
var
typeOf = require('get-type-of');// Then use it:
typeOf( null ) === 'null'; // true
typeOf( new Number('1') ) === 'number'; // true
