javascript 类型判断函数
var toType = function(obj) { return ({}).toString.call(obj).match(/s([a-zA-Z]+)/)[1].toLowerCase() }
A Better Way?
[[Class]]
Every JavaScript object has an internal property known as [[Class]]
(The ES5 spec uses the double square bracket notation to represent internal properties, i.e. abstract properties used to specify the behavior of JavaScript engines). According to ES5, [[Class]] is “a String value indicating a specification defined classification of objects”. To you and me, that means each built-in object type has a unique non-editable, standards-enforced value for its [[Class]] property. This could be really useful if only we could get at the [[Class]] property…
Object.prototype.toString
…and it turns out we can. Take a look at the ES 5 specification for Object.prototype.toString…
- Let O be the result of calling ToObject passing the this value as the argument.
- Let class be the value of the [[Class]] internal property of O.
- Return the String value that is the result of concatenating the three Strings
"[object "
, class, and"]"
.
In short, the default toString
function of Object returns a string with the following format…
[object [[Class]]]
…where [[Class]] is the class property of the object.
Unfortunately, the specialized built-in objects mostly overwrite Object.prototype.toString
with toString
methods of their own…
[1,2,3].toString(); //"1, 2, 3" (new Date).toString(); //"Sat Aug 06 2011 16:29:13 GMT-0700 (PDT)" /a-z/.toString(); //"/a-z/"
…fortunately we can use the call
function to force the generic toString
function upon them…
Object.prototype.toString.call([1,2,3]); //"[object Array]" Object.prototype.toString.call(new Date); //"[object Date]" Object.prototype.toString.call(/a-z/); //"[object RegExp]"
Introducing the toType
function
We can take this technique, add a drop of regEx, and create a tiny function – a new and improved version of the typeOf
operator…
