js typeof object code example

Example 1: javascript typeof shows object

What value it has 	 			What the output shows you 
 						when you write |console.log(typeof(variable);
Undefined:						"undefined"
Null:							"object"
Boolean:						"boolean"
Number:							"number"
String:							"string"
Function object:				"function"
E4X XML object:					"xml"
E4X XMLList object:				"xml"
NodeList						"Nodelist [more data]"
HTMLCollection					"HTMLCollection(1) [more data]"

Example 2: type of variable js

// get type of variable

var number = 1
var string = 'hello world'
var dict = {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3}

console.log(typeof number) // number
console.log(typeof string) // string
console.log(typeof dict)   // object

Example 3: type of javascript

//typeof() will return the type of value in its parameters.
//some examples of types: undefined, NaN, number, string, object, array

//example of a practical usage
if (typeof(value) !== "undefined") {//also, make sure that the type name is a string
  	//execute code
}

Example 4: check data type in javascript

typeof("string"); //string
typeof(123); //number

Example 5: check data type in js

typeof("iAmAString");//This should return 'string'
//NO camelCase, as it is a JS Keyword

Example 6: javascript typeof

exports.is = (data) => {
const isArray = Array.isArray(data) && 'array'
const isObject = data == {} && 'object'
const isNull =  data == null && 'null'

const isGrouping =  isArray || isObject || isNull
const isCheck = !isGrouping ? typeof data : isGrouping

const isTypeData = ['number','string','array','symbol','object','undefined','null','function', 'boolean']
const isMatch = isTypeData.indexOf(isCheck)
const isResult = isTypeData[isMatch]
return isResult
}
