isArrayLike

INFO

This function is only available in es-toolkit/compat for compatibility reasons. It either has alternative native JavaScript APIs or isn’t fully optimized yet.

When imported from es-toolkit/compat, it behaves exactly like lodash and provides the same functionalities, as detailed here.

Check if a value is an array-like object.

An array-like object is an object that is not null or undefined or a function, and has a length property that is a valid length.

This function can also serve as a type predicate in TypeScript, narrowing the type of the argument to an array-like object.

typescript

Parameters

  • value (unknown): The value to check if it is an array-like object.

Returns

(value is ArrayLike<unknown>): Returns true if the value is an array-like object, otherwise false.

Examples

typescript
import { isArrayLike } from 'es-toolkit/compat';

console.log(isArrayLike([1, 2, 3])); // true
console.log(isArrayLike('abc')); // true
console.log(isArrayLike({ 0: 'a', length: 1 })); // true
console.log(isArrayLike({})); // false
console.log(isArrayLike(null)); // false
console.log(isArrayLike(undefined)); // false
