# is-extendable [](http://badge.fury.io/js/is-extendable)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> Returns true if a value is any of the object types: array, regexp, plain object, function or date. This is useful for determining if a value can be extended, e.g. "can the value have keys?"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
$ npm i is-extendable --save
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
var isExtendable = require('is-extendable');
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Returns true if the value is any of the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `array`
|
||
|
|
* `regexp`
|
||
|
|
* `plain object`
|
||
|
|
* `function`
|
||
|
|
* `date`
|
||
|
|
* `error`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Notes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All objects in JavaScript can have keys, but it's a pain to check for this, since we ether need to verify that the value is not `null` or `undefined` and:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* the value is not a primitive, or
|
||
|
|
* that the object is an `object`, `function`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also note that an `extendable` object is not the same as an [extensible object](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/isExtensible), which is one that (in es6) is not sealed, frozen, or marked as non-extensible using `preventExtensions`.
