# tea-type [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/qualiancy/tea-type.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/qualiancy/tea-type)

> Better typeof detection and assertions for node.js and the browser.

## Installation

### Node.js

`tea-type` is available on [npm](http://npmjs.org).

    $ npm install tea-type

### Component

`tea-type` is available as a [component](https://github.com/component/component).

    $ component install qualiancy/tea-type

## Usage

Simple usage returns a more accurate `typeof` string. Examples augmented with
[chai](http://chaijs.com) assertions.

```js
var type = requre('tea-type');

type([ 1,2 ]).should.equal('array');
type('hello world').should.equal('string');
type(/abc/g).should.equal('regexp');
type(new Date).should.equal('data');
// etc...
```

Also, simple testing of object types.

```js
type.is([], 'array').should.be.true;
type.is('1', 'number').should.be.false;
// etc
```

But you can also add your own custom type tests using `.test()`. The test
can be a regular expression or function.

```js
// regular expression
type.test('int', /^[0-9]+$/);
type.is('1', 'int').should.be.true;
type.is('a', 'int').should.be.false;


// function
type.test('bln', function (obj) {
  if ('boolean' === type(obj)) return true;
  var blns = [ 'yes', 'no', 'true', 'false', 1, 0 ];
  if ('string' === type(obj)) obj = obj.toLowerCase();
  return !! ~blns.indexOf(obj);
});

type.is(true, 'bln').should.be.true;
type.is(false, 'bln').should.be.true;
type.is('Yes', 'bln').should.be.true;
type.is('no', 'bln').should.be.true;
type.is('true', 'bln').should.be.true;
type.is('False', 'bln').should.be.true;
type.is(1, 'bln').should.be.true;
type.is(0, 'bln').should.be.true;
type.is(2, 'bln').should.be.false;
type.is('nope', 'bln').should.be.false;
```
