Node.js util.types.isBoxedPrimitive() Method
The util.types.isBoxedPrimitive() method is an inbuilt application programming interface of util module which is primarily designed to support the needs of Node.js own internal APIs.
The util.types.isBoxedPrimitive() method is used to check if the given value is a boxed primitive or not.
Syntax:
util.types.isBoxedPrimitive( value )
Parameters: This function accepts one parameter as mentioned above and described below:
- value: It is the value that would be checked for a boxed primitive.
Return Value: It returns a boolean value i.e true if the passed value is a boxed primitive otherwise returns false.
Below examples illustrate the util.types.isBoxedPrimitive() method in Node.js:
Example 1:
// Node.js program to demonstrate the // util.types.isBoxedPrimitive() method // Import the util module const util = require( 'util' ); // Checking an unboxed string let unboxedString = "w3wiki" ; console.log( "Value:" , unboxedString); isBoxed = util.types.isBoxedPrimitive(unboxedString); console.log( "Value is a boxed primitive:" , isBoxed); // Checking a boxed string let boxedString = new String( "w3wiki" ); console.log( "Value:" , boxedString); isBoxed = util.types.isBoxedPrimitive(boxedString); console.log( "Value is a boxed primitive:" , isBoxed); // Checking an unboxed integer let unboxedInteger = 99; console.log( "Value:" , unboxedInteger); isBoxed = util.types.isBoxedPrimitive(unboxedInteger); console.log( "Value is a boxed primitive:" , isBoxed); // Checking a boxed integer let boxedInt = new Number(99); console.log( "Value:" , boxedInt); isBoxed = util.types.isBoxedPrimitive(boxedInt); console.log( "Value is a boxed primitive:" , isBoxed); // Checking an unboxed boolean let unboxedBool = false ; console.log( "Value:" , unboxedBool); isBoxed = util.types.isBoxedPrimitive(unboxedBool); console.log( "Value is a boxed primitive:" , isBoxed); // Checking a boxed boolean let boxedBool = new Boolean( false ); console.log( "Value:" , boxedBool); isBoxed = util.types.isBoxedPrimitive(boxedBool); console.log( "Value is a boxed primitive:" , isBoxed); |
Output:
Value: w3wiki Value is a boxed primitive: false Value: [String: 'w3wiki'] Value is a boxed primitive: true Value: 99 Value is a boxed primitive: false Value: [Number: 99] Value is a boxed primitive: true Value: false Value is a boxed primitive: false Value: [Boolean: false] Value is a boxed primitive: true
Example 2:
// Node.js program to demonstrate the // util.types.isBoxedPrimitive() method // Import the util module const util = require( 'util' ); // Checking for the symbol primitive let symbol = Symbol( 'Beginner' ); console.log( "Value:" , symbol); isBoxed = util.types.isBoxedPrimitive(symbol); console.log( "Value is a boxed primitive:" , isBoxed); // Checking again after creating a symbol wrapper let symbolObj = new Object(Symbol( 'Beginner' )); console.log( "Value:" , symbolObj); isBoxed = util.types.isBoxedPrimitive(symbolObj); console.log( "Value is a boxed primitive:" , isBoxed); |
Value: Symbol(Beginner) Value is a boxed primitive: false Value: [Symbol: Symbol(Beginner)] Value is a boxed primitive: true
