Rickey
Fastest tool to get native type of a value.
Just see benchmark against kind-of (based on Object
, Function
and RegExp
instance):
kind-of x 572,549 ops/sec +0.91% (76 runs sampled)
rickey x 712,959 ops/sec +1.49% (81 runs sampled)
Fastest is rickey
Installation and usage
npm i rickey
const t = ; ; // "weakmap"// It supports ALL types that kind-of does (except arguments)
...
Rickey is written only in 38
lines of code (less then kind-of and README file), has better performance. However, it has more initialization time. On initialization step rickey updates prototype of constructors, adding property _trickey
with the constructor name.
Object;
And when you try to get type (on non-undefined or non-null) rickey just returns _trickey
property of your object. So you can add your own constructors.
MyConstructorprototype_trickey = "myconstructor";
