# typeof-is

utility functions to check primitive types using [`typeof`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/typeof)

```shell
npm install --save typeof-is
```

## background

i prefer using functions over `typeof ===` expressions`, so i often find myself writing these functions inline in my modules.

i wrote this module because the related modules i found seemed to implement the kitchen sink of types, when i usually only need these and i'd rather install a specific module for other types.

## example

```js
const is = require('typeof-is')

is.boolean('true') // false
is.boolean(true) // true
is.function(() => {}) // true
is.number(true) // false
is.number(NaN) // true
is.object({}) // true
is.object(null) // true
is.object(undefined) // false
is.string('') // true
is.string(1) // false
is.symbol(Symbol('a')) // true
is.undefined(null) // false
```

## usage

### `is = require('typeof-is')`
### `is.boolean(value)`
### `is.function(value)`
### `is.number(value)`
### `is.object(value)`
### `is.string(value)`
### `is.symbol(value)`
### `is.undefined(value)`
