is-descriptor

Returns true if a value has the characteristics of a valid JavaScript descriptor. Works for data descriptors and accessor descriptors.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save is-descriptor

Usage

var isDescriptor = require('is-descriptor');

isDescriptor({value: 'foo'})
//=> true
isDescriptor({get: function(){}, set: function(){}})
//=> true
isDescriptor({get: 'foo', set: function(){}})
//=> false

You may also check for a descriptor by passing an object as the first argument and property name (string) as the second argument.

var obj = {};
obj.foo = 'abc';

Object.defineProperty(obj, 'bar', {
  value: 'xyz'
});

isDescriptor(obj, 'foo');
//=> true
isDescriptor(obj, 'bar');
//=> true

Examples

value type

false when not an object

isDescriptor('a');
//=> false
isDescriptor(null);
//=> false
isDescriptor([]);
//=> false

data descriptor

true when the object has valid properties with valid values.

isDescriptor({value: 'foo'});
//=> true
isDescriptor({value: noop});
//=> true

false when the object has invalid properties

isDescriptor({value: 'foo', bar: 'baz'});
//=> false
isDescriptor({value: 'foo', bar: 'baz'});
//=> false
isDescriptor({value: 'foo', get: noop});
//=> false
isDescriptor({get: noop, value: noop});
//=> false

false when a value is not the correct type

isDescriptor({value: 'foo', enumerable: 'foo'});
//=> false
isDescriptor({value: 'foo', configurable: 'foo'});
//=> false
isDescriptor({value: 'foo', writable: 'foo'});
//=> false

accessor descriptor

true when the object has valid properties with valid values.

isDescriptor({get: noop, set: noop});
//=> true
isDescriptor({get: noop});
//=> true
isDescriptor({set: noop});
//=> true

false when the object has invalid properties

isDescriptor({get: noop, set: noop, bar: 'baz'});
//=> false
isDescriptor({get: noop, writable: true});
//=> false
isDescriptor({get: noop, value: true});
//=> false

false when an accessor is not a function

isDescriptor({get: noop, set: 'baz'});
//=> false
isDescriptor({get: 'foo', set: noop});
//=> false
isDescriptor({get: 'foo', bar: 'baz'});
//=> false
isDescriptor({get: 'foo', set: 'baz'});
//=> false

false when a value is not the correct type

isDescriptor({get: noop, set: noop, enumerable: 'foo'});
//=> false
isDescriptor({set: noop, configurable: 'foo'});
//=> false
isDescriptor({get: noop, configurable: 'foo'});
//=> false
