getTypeof
▸ getTypeof(value): string
Gets type of value using Object.prototype.toString.call(value).
Why? Because typeof is not reliable for all types of values.
Object.prototype.toString gives more accurate results in the case someone has used an object wrapper for primitive data types such as new Number() or new String(). It will also accurately recognize any Error types, Error, TypeError, etc., as 'error'.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
value | unknown | Any kind of value (string, object, array, function, etc). |
Returns
string
- Type of value, normalized to a lowercase string.
