isBigIntObject

Signature

function isBigIntObject(it: unknown): it is BigInt;

Checks if a value is a BigInt object, which is a boxed-primitive BigInt that was created by wrapping a primitive BigInt (bigint) in the Object() wrapper function.

Boxed primitives are strongly discouraged in JavaScript, as they can lead to all sorts of unexpected behavior and performance issues. As such, this function - and the other boxed primitive functions like it - are provided for your convenience, to help you easily ensure your code is not on the receiving end of such behavior.

Parameters

Name	Info
it	The value to check.

Returns

true if the value is a boxed-primitive BigInt object; otherwise, false.

Examples

import { isBigIntObject } from "jsr:@nick/is/bigint-object";
