is-extendable

Returns true if a value is any of the object types: array, regexp, plain object, function or date. This is useful for determining if a value can be extended, e.g. "can the value have keys?"

Install

Install with npm

$ npm i is-extendable --save

Usage

var isExtendable = require('is-extendable');

Returns true if the value is any of the following:

• array
• regexp
• plain object
• function
• date
• error

Notes

All objects in JavaScript can have keys, but it's a pain to check for this, since we ether need to verify that the value is not null or undefined and:

• the value is not a primitive, or
• that the object is an object, function

Also note that an extendable object is not the same as an extensible object, which is one that (in es6) is not sealed, frozen, or marked as non-extensible using preventExtensions.
