What is this?

Tiny package that checks if a basename is hidden.

When should I use this?

Probably not, you can do check this yourself. I was doing this so many times that I made it a package years ago.

npm install is-hidden

In Deno with esm.sh:

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import {isHidden} from 'https://esm.sh/is-hidden@2?bundle'
</script>
