Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Easy and reliable type detection

Supported by joinbox.com, your swiss node.js & javascript agency :rocket:

npm Travis

Compatibility

For a version supporting older browsers and node version please use ee-types version < 3.0.0. Compatible with node 10+ (--experimental-modules flag) and browsers supporting es modules.

Importing

node

import types from 'ee-types';

API

Be aware that the different object types like Maps, Promises and so on are not detected as objects but as their respective type. If you need to detect them as objects please use the types.someObject() method instead of the types.object() method.

Explicitly test for a type.

types.array([]) // true

Get the type of some variable

types(/[a-z]+/gi) // regexp

Object Types

Since many of the types defined by javascript are just special objects that also can be treated as normal objects ee-types has a bunch of methods that allow you to handle that correctly.

For example, Map is an object, or a custom class where you define a getter that returns a specific name for your object:

const X = class {
    get [Symbol.toStringTag]() {
        return 'AQL query';;
    }
};

console.log(Object.prototype.toString.call(new X()));
// prints: [object AQL Query]
Check for a classic object
types.object({}); // true
types.object(new Map()); // false

// be aware that if you are not explicitly testing
// for an object any object will be treated as one
types({}) // 'object'
types(new Map()) // 'object'
Check any type of object
types.someObject({}); // true
types.someObject(new Map()); // false
types(new Map()) // 'object'

Examples

var types = require('ee-types');


types.string('nope');                // true
types.strign(new String('yeah'));    // true


types(2) // number

types([]]) // array
types(new Array()]) // array
types(new Int8Array()]) // int8Array


types.promise(Promise.all()) // true
