| > Returns true if a value has the characteristics of a valid JavaScript descriptor. Works for data descriptors and accessor descriptors. |
| |
| ## Install |
| |
| Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/): |
| |
| ```sh |
| $ npm install --save is-descriptor |
| ``` |
| |
| ## Usage |
| |
| ```js |
| var isDescriptor = require('is-descriptor'); |
| |
| isDescriptor({value: 'foo'}) |
| //=> true |
| isDescriptor({get: function(){}, set: function(){}}) |
| //=> true |
| isDescriptor({get: 'foo', set: function(){}}) |
| //=> false |
| ``` |
| |
| You may also check for a descriptor by passing an object as the first argument and property name (`string`) as the second argument. |
| |
| ```js |
| var obj = {}; |
| obj.foo = 'abc'; |
| |
| Object.defineProperty(obj, 'bar', { |
| value: 'xyz' |
| }); |
| |
| isDescriptor(obj, 'foo'); |
| //=> true |
| isDescriptor(obj, 'bar'); |
| //=> true |
| ``` |
| |
| ## Examples |
| |
| ### value type |
| |
| `false` when not an object |
| |
| ```js |
| isDescriptor('a'); |
| //=> false |
| isDescriptor(null); |
| //=> false |
| isDescriptor([]); |
| //=> false |
| ``` |
| |
| ### data descriptor |
| |
| `true` when the object has valid properties with valid values. |
| |
| ```js |
| isDescriptor({value: 'foo'}); |
| //=> true |
| isDescriptor({value: noop}); |
| //=> true |
| ``` |
| |
| `false` when the object has invalid properties |
| |
| ```js |
| isDescriptor({value: 'foo', bar: 'baz'}); |
| //=> false |
| isDescriptor({value: 'foo', bar: 'baz'}); |
| //=> false |
| isDescriptor({value: 'foo', get: noop}); |
| //=> false |
| isDescriptor({get: noop, value: noop}); |
| //=> false |
| ``` |
| |
| `false` when a value is not the correct type |
| |
| ```js |
| isDescriptor({value: 'foo', enumerable: 'foo'}); |
| //=> false |
| isDescriptor({value: 'foo', configurable: 'foo'}); |
| //=> false |
| isDescriptor({value: 'foo', writable: 'foo'}); |
| //=> false |
| ``` |
| |
| ### accessor descriptor |
| |
| `true` when the object has valid properties with valid values. |
| |
| ```js |
| isDescriptor({get: noop, set: noop}); |
| //=> true |
| isDescriptor({get: noop}); |
| //=> true |
| isDescriptor({set: noop}); |
| //=> true |
| ``` |
| |
| `false` when the object has invalid properties |
| |
| ```js |
| isDescriptor({get: noop, set: noop, bar: 'baz'}); |
| //=> false |
| isDescriptor({get: noop, writable: true}); |
| //=> false |
| isDescriptor({get: noop, value: true}); |
| //=> false |
| ``` |
| |
| `false` when an accessor is not a function |
| |
| ```js |
| isDescriptor({get: noop, set: 'baz'}); |
| //=> false |
| isDescriptor({get: 'foo', set: noop}); |
| //=> false |
| isDescriptor({get: 'foo', bar: 'baz'}); |
| //=> false |
| isDescriptor({get: 'foo', set: 'baz'}); |
| //=> false |
| ``` |
| |
| `false` when a value is not the correct type |
| |
| ```js |
| isDescriptor({get: noop, set: noop, enumerable: 'foo'}); |
| //=> false |
| isDescriptor({set: noop, configurable: 'foo'}); |
| //=> false |
| isDescriptor({get: noop, configurable: 'foo'}); |
| //=> false |
| ``` |
