Float
Validates if a value is a float.

$ npm install validate.io-float
For use in the browser, use browserify.
Usage
var isFloat = require( 'validate.io-float' );
isFloat( value )
Validates if a value
is a float.
var value = Math.PI;
var bool = isFloat( value );
// returns true
Notes
This method first validates that a
value
is anumber
prior to validating if thevalue
is afloat
.In JavaScript, every numeric value is stored as a
float
. Here, we make a distinction based on whether the value has digits located after a decimal point. Hence, the distinction is semantic and not indicative of the underlying representation.
Examples
console.log( isFloat( 5.256 ) );
// returns true
console.log( isFloat( 5 ) );
// returns false

$ make test
All new feature development should have corresponding unit tests to validate correct functionality.
