As the type library as a scoped package, the scope is also need when the library is used.
const Type = require('@konfirm/type');The Type library is fully static, so it is ready for immediate use.
const Type = require('@konfirm/type');
console.log(Type.getTypeName(Type)); // functionGet the type name, for objects and functions the real (actual) name can be obtained (the default behavior).
const Type = require('@konfirm/type');
console.log(Type.getTypeName('hello'); // string
console.log(Type.getTypeName(Infinity); // number
const test = Promise.resolve();
console.log(Type.getTypeName(Promise); // Promise
console.log(Type.getTypeName(test); // Promise
console.log(Type.getTypeName(test, false); // objectDetermine whether the value is an instance of a specific type.
const Type = require('@konfirm/type');
const test = Promise.resolve();
console.log(Type.instanceOf('Promise', test); // trueIs the value of the specified type.
const Type = require('@konfirm/type');
console.log(Type.is('boolean', false)); // true
console.log(Type.is('boolean', true)); // true
console.log(Type.is('boolean', null)); // falseGet the name of given (object) input.
const Type = require('@konfirm/type');
const test = Type;
const result = Type.objectName(test);
console.log(result); // TypeGet the function name of given input.
function helloWorld() {
return 'hi';
}
const Type = require('@konfirm/type');
const test = helloWorld;
