Foreword on JavaScript data types and data structures
The latest ECMAScript standard defines nine types:
- Six Data Types that are primitives, checked by
typeof
operator:undefined
:typeof instance === "undefined"
Boolean
:typeof instance === "boolean"
Number
:typeof instance === "number"
String
:typeof instance === "string"
BigInt
:typeof instance === "bigint"
Symbol
:typeof instance === "symbol"
- Structural Types:
Object
:typeof instance === "object"
. Special non-data but structural type for any constructed object instance also used as data structures: newObject
, newArray
, newMap
, newSet
, newWeakMap
, newWeakSet
, newDate
and almost everything made withnew
keyword;Function
non data structure, though it also answers fortypeof
operator:typeof instance === "function"
. This answer is done as a special shorthand forFunction
s, though everyFunction
constructor is derived fromObject
constructor.
- Structural Root Primitive
null
:typeof instance === "object"
. Special primitive type having additional usage for it's value: if object is not inherited, thennull
is shown;

Primitives
Sample usage:
import { primitives } from '@sniptt/guards';
primitives.isNumber(val);
or
import { isNumber } from '@sniptt/guards';
isNumber(val);
isBigInt
import { isBigInt } from '@sniptt/guards';
let val: bigint | number;
if (isBigInt(val)) {
// TypeScript will infer val: bigint
} else {
// TypeScript will infer val: number
}
isBoolean
import { isBoolean } from '@sniptt/guards';
let val: boolean | number;
if (isBoolean(val)) {
// TypeScript will infer val: boolean
} else {
// TypeScript will infer val: number
}
isNumber
Answers false
to NaN
!
See also:
import { isNumber } from '@sniptt/guards';
let val: number | string;
if (isNumber(val)) {
// TypeScript will infer val: number
} else {
// TypeScript will infer val: string
}
isString
import { isString } from '@sniptt/guards';
let val: string | number;
if (isString(val)) {
// TypeScript will infer val: string
} else {
// TypeScript will infer val: number
}
isSymbol
import { isSymbol } from '@sniptt/guards';
let val: symbol | string;
if (isSymbol(val)) {
// TypeScript will infer val: symbol
} else {
// TypeScript will infer val: string
}
isUndefined
import { isUndefined } from '@sniptt/guards';
let val: undefined | null;
if (isUndefined(val)) {
// TypeScript will infer val: undefined
} else {
// TypeScript will infer val: null
}
Structural
Sample usage:
import { structural } from '@sniptt/guards';
structural.isMap(val);
or
import { isMap } from '@sniptt/guards';
isMap(val);
isNull
Answers true
if and only if value === null
.
isFunction
Answers true
if and only if typeof value === "function"
.
isObject
Answers false
to null
!
To check for array:
isArray(term)
To check for object or null:
isObjectOrNull(term)
isArray
Answers true
if and only if Array.isArray(value) === true
.
isMap
Answers true
if and only if (value instanceof Map) === true
.
isSet
Answers true
if and only if (value instanceof Set) === true
.
isWeakMap
Answers true
if and only if (value instanceof WeakMap) === true
.
isWeakSet
Answers true
if and only if (value instanceof WeakSet) === true
.
isDate
Answers true
if and only if (value instanceof Date) === true
.
