Node.js util.types.isStringObject() Method
The util.types.isStringObject() method of the util module is primarily designed to support the needs of Node.js own Internal APIs. It is used to check whether the passed instance in the method is a String object or not. There is a difference between a string primitive and a String object in javascript, string is a primitive datatype it has no methods and it is nothing more than a pointer to a raw data memory reference.
Syntax:
util.types.isStringObject( value )
Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter value that holds any value i.e instance of any module.
Return value: This method returns a Boolean value i.e true if the passed value is a string object otherwise returns false.
The below examples illustrate the use of util.types.isStringObject() method in Node.js:
Example 1:
javascript
// Node.js program to demonstrate the // util.types.isStringObject() method // It includes util module const util = require( 'util' ); // Return false as passed value is // a string but not a String object console.log(util.types.isStringObject( "w3wiki" )); // Return true as passed value is String object console.log(util.types.isStringObject( new String())); |
Output:
false true
Example 2:
javascript
// Node.js program to demonstrate the // util.types.isStringObject() method // It includes util module const util = require( 'util' ); //temp_string is a primitive datatype const temp_string = "w3wiki" // Return false as passed value is a // string but not a String object console.log(util.types.isStringObject(temp_string)); //making string into String object const s_object = new String(temp_string); // Return true as passed value is a string // but not a String object console.log(util.types.isStringObject(s_object)); //Return false as passes value is not a String object console.log(util.types.isStringObject( new Set())); |
Output:
false true false
