Build & Run

Development

The library is a utility library and doesn't require running a server. You can use it directly in your JavaScript/TypeScript projects:

// ES6 import
import is from 'is_js';

// CommonJS require
const is = require('is_js');

// Usage
console.log(is.string('hello')); // true
console.log(is.number(42)); // true

Production

For production use, the minified version (is.min.js) is recommended:

<script src="path/to/is.min.js"></script>
<script>
    console.log(is.string('hello')); // true
</script>

Deployment

Since this is a utility library, deployment considerations depend on your project type:

For Web Applications

Vercel - Deploy your web app that uses is.js
Netlify - Host your static site with is.js integration
AWS S3/CloudFront - Serve your static assets

For Node.js Applications

Heroku - Deploy your Node.js app
AWS Elastic Beanstalk - Host your Node.js application
DigitalOcean App Platform - Deploy your Node.js service

For Package Publishing

If you're contributing to the library itself:

# Update version in package.json
npm version patch

# Publish to npm
npm publish

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Module Not Found Error

Issue: Error: Cannot find module 'is_js' Solution: Ensure you've installed the package with npm install is_js and your node_modules directory is included in your project.

2. Build Failures

Issue: Build process fails with syntax errors Solution: Check that you have the correct Node.js version installed. Run node --version to verify.

3. Browser Compatibility Issues

Issue: Library doesn't work in older browsers Solution: is.js supports modern browsers. For older browser support, consider using polyfills or a transpiler like Babel.

4. Type Check Returns Unexpected Results

Issue: is.number(NaN) returns false Solution: This is expected behavior. NaN is not considered a valid number by the library. Use is.nan(NaN) to check for NaN values.

5. Conflicting Global Variables

Issue: is conflicts with another global variable Solution: Use the AMD or CommonJS versions instead of the global version, or rename the import:

const typeChecker = require('is_js');
