This function tests whether the provided value is strictly equal to null. It returns true if the value is null, and false otherwise.

This function can also serve as a type predicate in TypeScript, narrowing the type of the argument to null.

Parameters

  • x (unknown): The value to test if it is null.

Returns

(x is null): True if the value is null, false otherwise.

Examples

typescript
const value1 = null;
const value2 = undefined;
const value3 = 42;

console.log(isNull(value1)); // true
console.log(isNull(value2)); // false
console.log(isNull(value3)); // false
