Get the native JavaScript type of a value, preceded by the appropriate indefinite article (either `a` or `an`), for use in error messages.
npm install typeof-article> Get the native JavaScript type of a value, preceded by the appropriate indefinite article (either a or an), for use in error messages.
Install with npm:
``sh`
$ npm install --save typeof-article
_(A few of the types have some extra formatting where it makes sense. For example, instead of a regexp, it returns a regular expression, which IMHO is more readable to users. You can customize mappings if you want)_
`js
var type = require('typeof-article');
console.log(type({}));
//=> 'an object'
console.log(type([]));
//=> 'an array'
console.log(type(9));
//=> 'a number'
console.log(type(/abc/));
//=> 'a regular expression'
console.log(type(new WeakMap()));
//=> 'a WeakMap'
`
Get the object of types-to-articles mappings:
`js`
var types = require('typeof-article').types;
Also exposes a typeOf property, for getting the native type only:
`js
var type = require('typeof-article');
type.types.weapmap = 'a WeakMap()';
console.log(type.typeOf(new WeakMap()));
//=> 'weakmap'
`
Customize any of the mappings:
`js
var type = require('typeof-article');
type.types.weapmap = 'a WeakMap()';
console.log(type(new WeakMap()));
//=> 'a WeakMap()'
