🛠 Getting Started

Install dependency

npm i taap

Import and use methods

import { isArray } from 'taap';
 
const maybeArray: unknown = [];
 
if (typeof maybeArray === 'array') {
  🚫 typeof [] === 'object'
} else if (isArray(maybeArray)) {
  // `maybeArray` is now of type: `any[]`
  ✅ maybeArray.push(1);
}

Optionally supply a return type

import { isArray } from 'taap';
 
const maybeArray: unknown = [1, 2, 3];
 
if (isArray<number>(maybeArray)) {
  // `maybeArray` is now of type: `number[]`
  maybeArray.filter((x) => x > 1);
}
