# is-extendable

> Returns true if a value is a plain object, array or function.

## Install

Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):

```
$ npm install --save is-extendable
```

## Usage

```js
var isExtendable = require('is-extendable');
```

Returns true if the value is any of the following:

* array
* plain object
* function

## Notes

All objects in JavaScript can have keys, but it's a pain to check for this, since we ether need to verify that the value is not `null` or `undefined` and:

* the value is not a primitive, or
* that the object is a plain object, function or array

Also note that an `extendable` object is not the same as an [extensible object](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/isExtensible), which is one that (in es6) is not sealed, frozen, or marked as non-extensible using `preventExtensions`.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://bryan-guner.gitbook.io/my-docs/redux/repos/examples/real-world/node_modules/is-extendable.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
