Test if a value is a JavaScript primitive.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/assert-is-primitive

Usage

var isPrimitive = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-primitive' );

isPrimitive( value )

Tests if a value is a JavaScript primitive.

var bool = isPrimitive( false );
// returns true

Notes

• Seven primitives:

  • string
  • number
  • boolean
  • null
  • undefined
  • symbol (ES6/ES2015)
  • bigint (ES11/ES2020)

Examples

var Boolean = require( '@stdlib/boolean-ctor' );
var Object = require( '@stdlib/object-ctor' );
var isPrimitive = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-primitive' );

var bool = isPrimitive( false );
// returns true

bool = isPrimitive( 0 );
// returns true

bool = isPrimitive( '' );
// returns true

bool = isPrimitive( null );
// returns true

bool = isPrimitive( void 0 );
// returns true

bool = isPrimitive( [] );
// returns false

bool = isPrimitive( {} );
// returns false

bool = isPrimitive( function noop() {} );
// returns false

bool = isPrimitive( new Boolean() );
// returns false

bool = isPrimitive( new String() );
// returns false

bool = isPrimitive( new Array() );
// returns false

bool = isPrimitive( new Object() );
// returns false
