how to check string is number in javascript code example

Example 1: javascript check if number

// The first 2 Variations return a Boolean
// They just work the opposite way around

// IsInteger
if (Number.isInteger(val)) {
	// It is indeed a number
}

// isNaN (is not a number)
if (isNaN(val)) {
	// It is not a number
}

// Another option is typeof which return a string
if (typeof(val) === 'number') {
	// Guess what, it's a bloody number!
}

Example 2: 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 3: javascript is variable a string

if (typeof myVar === 'string'){
    //I am indeed a string
}

Example 4: javascript check if variable is number

function isNumber(n) {
  return !isNaN(parseFloat(n)) && !isNaN(n - 0);
}

Example 5: javascript check if string is number

function isNumeric(num){
  return !isNaN(num)
}
isNumeric("23.33"); //true, checking if string is a number.

Example 6: js check if string is int

function isNumeric(str) {

	// Check if input is string
	if (typeof str != "string")
    	return false

	// Use type coercion to parse the _entirety_ of the string
    // (`parseFloat` alone does not do this).
	// Also ensure that the strings whitespaces fail
	return !isNaN(str) && 
		!isNaN(parseFloat(str)) 
}
