PHP's is_string in TypeScript

How to use

Install via yarn add locutus and import: import { is_string } from 'locutus/php/var/is_string'.

Or with CommonJS: const { is_string } = require('locutus/php/var/is_string')

Use a bundler that supports tree-shaking so you only ship the functions you actually use. Vite, webpack, Rollup, and Parcel all handle this. For server-side use this is less of a concern.

Examples

These examples are extracted from test cases that automatically verify our functions against their native counterparts.

#	code	expected result
1	is_string('23')	true
2	is_string(23.5)	false

Here's what our current TypeScript equivalent to PHP's is_string looks like.

Improve this function

Locutus is a community effort following The McDonald's Theory: we ship first iterations, hoping others will improve them. If you see something that could be better, we'd love your contribution.
