check-is-arrow-function v0.0.4

➡ check-is-arrow-function

Checks whether a function is an arrow function using a very targeted and streamlined, yet simple, parser. Written with TypeScript.

Install

yarn add check-is-arrow-function

npm i check-is-arrow-function

Why?

Some libraries need the ability to test a traditional function declaration/expression vs an arrow function (as first introduced in ES2015).

How is this library different than the rest?

Most solutions use regex to test for an arrow function 😬 This is extremely limiting. A parser is necessary to reliably catch all the weird syntax and cases that exist.

This library throws 40+ tests at checkIsArrowFunction to catch everything from super simple to real odd cases.

Case examples

Here are some cases that check-is-arrow tests against:

checkIsArrowFunction(() => {}); // true
checkIsArrowFunction(()=>{}); // true
checkIsArrowFunction(() => 1); // true
checkIsArrowFunction((x) => x); // true
checkIsArrowFunction((x) => (y) => x + y); // true
checkIsArrowFunction((callback = () => 4) => callback); // true
checkIsArrowFunction((callback=()=>4)=>callback); // true
checkIsArrowFunction(({prop}) => prop); // true
checkIsArrowFunction((callback = () => "(yo") => callback); // true
checkIsArrowFunction((callback = () => "\"(yo") => callback); // true
checkIsArrowFunction((() => {})); // true
checkIsArrowFunction(r => r); // true
checkIsArrowFunction(function a () {}); // false
checkIsArrowFunction(function a () { return () => 0 }); // false
checkIsArrowFunction(function f() { return "=>" }); // false
checkIsArrowFunction(function (callback = () => null) { return 'foo' }); // false
