isPlainObject

  • Edit on GitHub

Test if a value is an object created with {} or new Object().

isPlainObject(obj)

Attempts to determine if an object is a plain object like those you would create using the curly braces syntax: {}. The following are not plain objects:

  1. Objects with prototypes (created using the new keyword).
  2. Booleans.
  3. Numbers.
  4. NaN.
var isPlainObject = require("can-reflect").isPlainObject;

// Created with {}
console.log(isPlainObject({})); // -> true

// new Object
console.log(isPlainObject(new Object())); // -> true

// Custom object
var Ctr = function(){};
var obj = new Ctr();

console.log(isPlainObject(obj)); // -> false

Parameters

  1. obj {Object}:

    the object to test.

Returns

{Boolean}:
