• [opts] {Object} only opts.strict option, default false
• returns {Boolean}

Example

const isBackslash = require('is-backslash')

// returns true (default mode, opts.strict !== true)
console.log(isBackslash(92, {strict: 123})) // => true
console.log(isBackslash(92))                // => true
console.log(isBackslash('92'))              // => true
console.log(isBackslash('\\'))              // => true
console.log(isBackslash('\u005C'))          // => true
console.log(isBackslash('\u005c'))          // => true
console.log(isBackslash('\x5c'))            // => true
console.log(isBackslash('\'))           // => true

// strict mode - need explicitly define `opts.strict: true`
console.log(isBackslash(92, {strict: true}))        // => false
console.log(isBackslash('92', {strict: true}))      // => false
console.log(isBackslash('\\', {strict: true}))      // => true
console.log(isBackslash('\u005C', {strict: true}))  // => true
console.log(isBackslash('\u005c', {strict: true}))  // => true
console.log(isBackslash('\x5c', {strict: true}))    // => true

console.log(isBackslash('\', {strict: 123}))    // => true
console.log(isBackslash('\', {strict: true}))   // => false
console.log(isBackslash(['foo', 'bar']))            // => false
console.log(isBackslash({a: 'b'}))                  // => false
console.log(isBackslash())                          // => false
