@stdlib/assert-is-method

About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

isMethod

Test if an object has a specified method name.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/assert-is-method

Usage

var isMethod = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-method' );

isMethod( value, property )

Returns a boolean indicating if a value has a specified own method name.

function noop() {
    // Example function...
}

var value = {
    'beep': noop
};

var bool = isMethod( value, 'beep' );
// returns true

bool = isMethod( value, 'toString' );
// returns false

Notes

• Value arguments other than null or undefined are coerced to objects.

  var bool = isMethod( 'beep', 'toString' );
  // returns false

• Property arguments are coerced to strings.

  function noop() {
      // Example function...
  }
  
  var value = {
      'null': noop
  };
  var bool = isMethod( value, null );
  // returns true
  
  value = {
      '[object Object]': noop
  };
  bool = isMethod( value, {} );
  // returns true

• The function searches only own properties.

Examples

var isMethod = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-method' );

var bool = isMethod( { 'a': isMethod }, 'a' );
// returns true

bool = isMethod( { 'a': 'b' }, 'a' );
// returns false

bool = isMethod( { 'a': 'b' }, null );
// returns false

bool = isMethod( {}, 'toString' );
// returns false

bool = isMethod( null, 'a' );
// returns false

bool = isMethod( void 0, 'a' );
// returns false

bool = isMethod( { 'null': isMethod }, null );
// returns true

bool = isMethod( { '[object Object]': isMethod }, {} );
// returns true
