isObjectLike

Test if a value is object-like.

Usage

var isObjectLike = require( '@stdlib/utils/is-object-like' );

isObjectLike( value )

Tests if a value is object-like.

var bool = isObjectLike( {} );
// returns true

bool = isObjectLike( [] );
// returns true

isObjectLike.isObjectLikeArray( value )

Tests if a value is an array of object-like values.

var bool = isObjectLike.isObjectLikeArray( [ {}, [] ] );
// returns true

bool = isObjectLike.isObjectLikeArray( [ {}, '3.0' ] );
// returns false

Notes

• Results are the same as would be obtained using the built-in typeof operator except that null is not considered an object.

  var bool = ( typeof null === 'object' );
  // returns true
  
  bool = isObjectLike( null );
  // returns false
