js.typeof v1.0.4

js.typeof

A simpler, better, and more lightweight Javascript data type checker.

In a nutshell

js.type is an alternative to typeof that actually does something useful and is pretty lightweight, compared to other alternatives. Results are Capitalized to differentiate them from native Javascript typeof results.

e.g., 'String' instead of 'string'.

Examples:

    const typeOf = require ('js.typeof');
    
    typeOf({a: 4}) => "Object"
    typeOf([1, 2, 3]) => "Array"
    (function() { return typeOf(arguments) })() => "Arguments"
    typeOf(new ReferenceError) => "Error"
    typeOf(new Date) => "Date"
    typeOf(/a-z/) => "RegExp"
    typeOf(Math) => "Math"
    typeOf(JSON) => "JSON"
    typeOf(new Number(4)) => "Integer"
    typeOf(new Number(4.5)) => "Float"
    typeOf(new String("abc")) => "String"
    typeOf(new Boolean(true)) => "Boolean"
    typeOf(1/0) => "Infinity"
    typeOf(NaN) => "NaN"

TO-DOs

I don't know, you tell me.

js.type wouldn't be possible without my good friend, Oibaf. Also, my incessant laziness and frustration with simple data type checking helped a bit.
