## Install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
$ npm install --save is-number
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Why is this needed?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In JavaScript, it's not always as straightforward as it should be to reliably check if a value is a number. It's common for devs to use `+`, `-`, or `Number()` to cast a string value to a number (for example, when values are returned from user input, regex matches, parsers, etc). But there are many non-intuitive edge cases that yield unexpected results:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
console.log(+[]); //=> 0
|
||
|
|
console.log(+''); //=> 0
|
||
|
|
console.log(+' '); //=> 0
|
||
|
|
console.log(typeof NaN); //=> 'number'
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This library offers a performant way to smooth out edge cases like these.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
const isNumber = require('is-number');
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See the [tests](./test.js) for more examples.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### true
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
isNumber(5e3); // true
|
||
|
|
isNumber(0xff); // true
|
||
|
|
isNumber(-1.1); // true
|
||
|
|
isNumber(0); // true
|
||
|
|
isNumber(1); // true
|
||
|
|
isNumber(1.1); // true
|
||
|
|
isNumber(10); // true
|
||
|
|
isNumber(10.10); // true
|
||
|
|
isNumber(100); // true
|
||
|
|
isNumber('-1.1'); // true
|
||
|
|
isNumber('0'); // true
|
||
|
|
isNumber('012'); // true
|
||
|
|
isNumber('0xff'); // true
|
||
|
|
isNumber('1'); // true
|
||
|
|
isNumber('1.1'); // true
|
||
|
|
isNumber('10'); // true
|
||
|
|
isNumber('10.10'); // true
|
||
|
|
isNumber('100'); // true
|
||
|
|
isNumber('5e3'); // true
|
||
|
|
isNumber(parseInt('012')); // true
|
||
|
|
isNumber(parseFloat('012')); // true
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### False
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Everything else is false, as you would expect:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
isNumber(Infinity); // false
|
||
|
|
isNumber(NaN); // false
|
||
|
|
isNumber(null); // false
|
||
|
|
isNumber(undefined); // false
|
||
|
|
isNumber(''); // false
|
||
|
|
isNumber(' '); // false
|
||
|
|
isNumber('foo'); // false
|
||
|
|
isNumber([1]); // false
|
||
|
|
isNumber([]); // false
|
||
|
|
isNumber(function () {}); // false
|
||
|
|
isNumber({}); // false
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|

## Release history
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 7.0.0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Refactor. Now uses `.isFinite` if it exists.
|
||
|
|
* Performance is about the same as v6.0 when the value is a string or number. But it's now 3x-4x faster when the value is not a string or number.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 6.0.0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Optimizations, thanks to @benaadams.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

### 5.0.0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Breaking changes**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* removed support for `instanceof Number` and `instanceof String`
|
