SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Identify value types and shapes in JavaScript using a small, dependency-free set of predicates.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Quick orientation on installation and import patterns (named exports vs default Is namespace).
  • Mental model: pure predicates, environment probes, smart emptiness semantics.
  • Scope boundaries: what it does and doesn't cover; suitable for quick onboarding and decision making.

Quick Start

Install the package and import a predicate to experience its tree-shaking exports and environment-aware predicates.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check variable types and shapes in JavaScript without adding runtime dependencies?

To check variable types and shapes in JavaScript without runtime dependencies, use a dependency-free set of pure predicates. These predicates provide tree-shakable named exports for data validation and type guards.

Can I use JavaScript type predicates for feature detection in both frontend and Node environments?

Yes, you can use JavaScript type predicates for feature detection in both frontend and Node environments. The predicates rely on lazy environment probing to avoid server-side hazards while checking shapes like isUrl or isPlainObject.

What is the best way to import tree-shakable JavaScript type guards to reduce bundle size?

The best way to import tree-shakable JavaScript type guards is through named exports. This pattern ensures that only the predicates you explicitly import, such as isString or isEmpty, are bundled into your final application.

How do I install and start using JavaScript type predicate functions for data validation?

To install and start using JavaScript type predicate functions, add the package to your project and import the required functions. This enables quick data validation through pure predicates like isString and isEmpty.

Do I need any external libraries to perform smart emptiness checks on plain objects in JavaScript?

No, you do not need external libraries to perform smart emptiness checks on plain objects in JavaScript. The dependency-free predicates include smart emptiness semantics and isPlainObject checks built directly into the package.
