Chork is a minimal library for checking data types in javascript.
Typeof typeof
works well, but only for variables of the primitive type and not for structures like Array, Date and others. Chork solves this by bringing the real type of past value.
npm i chork
yarn add chork
Currently, chork has two test functions which are check
and checkAll
.
It receives only one argument of any kind.
import { check } from 'chork'
check(1) // 'number'
check('foo') // 'string'
check([1, 'foo']) // 'array'
check({ key: 1 }) // 'object'
check(new Date()) // 'date'
The checkAll
function works in the same way as check
, the only difference is that it returns an object with a key
being its own value and a value
being the result with the type of data tested.
import { check } from 'chork'
checkAll(1) // { '1': 'number' }
checkAll('foo') // { foo: 'string' }
checkAll([1, 'foo']) // { '1': 'number', foo: 'string' }
checkAll({ key: 1 }) // { key: 'number' }
checkAll(new Date()) // { 'Sat Feb 06 2021 12:35:41 GMT-0300 (Brasilia Standard Time)': 'date' }
