Types

Provide utilities for manipulating JS types.

symbol

Deprecated

RESCRIPT

type symbol = Symbol.t

Js symbol type (only available in ES6)

obj_val

Deprecated

RESCRIPT

type obj_val = \"Type.Classify".object

undefined_val

Deprecated

This has been deprecated and will be removed in v13. Use functions and types from the Type module instead.

RESCRIPT

type undefined_val

This type has only one value undefined

null_val

Deprecated

This has been deprecated and will be removed in v13. Use functions and types from the Type module instead.

RESCRIPT

type null_val

This type has only one value null

function_val

Deprecated

RESCRIPT

type function_val = \"Type.Classify".function

t

Deprecated

This has been deprecated and will be removed in v13. Use functions and types from the Type module instead.

RESCRIPT

type t<_> =
  | Undefined: t<undefined_val>
  | Null: t<null_val>
  | Boolean: t<bool>
  | Number: t<float>
  | String: t<string>
  | Function: t<function_val>
  | Object: t<obj_val>
  | Symbol: t<symbol>
  | BigInt: t<bigint>

test

Deprecated

This has been deprecated and will be removed in v13. Use functions and types from the Type module instead.

RESCRIPT

let test: ('a, t<'b>) => bool

test(value, t) returns true if value is typeof t, otherwise false. This is useful for doing runtime reflection on any given value.

Examples

RESCRIPT
test("test", String) == true
test(() => true, Function) == true
test("test", Boolean) == false

tagged_t

Deprecated

This has been deprecated and will be removed in v13. Use functions and types from the Type module instead.

RESCRIPT

type tagged_t =
  | JSFalse
  | JSTrue
  | JSNull
  | JSUndefined
  | JSNumber(float)
  | JSString(string)
  | JSFunction(function_val)
  | JSObject(obj_val)
  | JSSymbol(symbol)
  | JSBigInt(bigint)

classify

Deprecated

This has been deprecated and will be removed in v13. Use functions and types from the Type module instead.

RESCRIPT

let classify: 'a => tagged_t
