check if a value is numeric using javascript code example

Example 1: javascript check if string is number

// native returns true if the variable does NOT contain a valid number
isNaN(num)

// can be wrapped for making simple and readable
function isNumeric(num){
  return !isNaN(num)
}

isNumeric(123)         // true
isNumeric('123')       // true
isNumeric('1e10000')   // true (This translates to Infinity, which is a number)
isNumeric('foo')       // false
isNumeric('10px')      // false

Example 2: javascript check if a value is an int

// The Number.isInteger() checks to see if the passed value is an integer
// Returns true or false

Number.isInteger(2); //True
Number.isInteger(90); //True
Number.isInteger("37"); //False
Number.isInteger(false); //false
