vanilla js check if a given input is a number 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: js check if string or int

var myString     =  "abc123";
var otherString  =  "123";
/* isInterger() checks if an value repersents an int  */

Number.isInteger(myString);    //returns false
Number.isInteger(otherString); //returns true
