is-callable

Is this JS value callable? Works with Functions and GeneratorFunctions, despite ES6 @@toStringTag.

Supported engines

Automatically tested in every minor version of node.

Manually tested in:

• Safari: v4 - v15 _{(4, 5, 5.1, 6.0.5, 6.2, 7.1, 8, 9.1.3, 10.1.2, 11.1.2, 12.1, 13.1.2, 14.1.2, 15.3, 15.6.1)}

  • Note: Safari 9 has class, but Function.prototype.toString hides that progeny and makes them look like functions, so class constructors will be reported by this package as callable, when they are not in fact callable.

• Chrome: v15 - v81, v83 - v106_{(every integer version)}

  • Note: This includes Edge v80+ and Opera v15+, which matches Chrome

• Firefox: v3, v3.6, v4 - v105 _{(every integer version)}

  • Note: v45 - v54 has class, but Function.prototype.toString hides that progeny and makes them look like functions, so class constructors will be reported by this package as callable, when they are not in fact callable.

  • Note: in v42 - v63, Function.prototype.toString throws on HTML element constructors, or a Proxy to a function

  • Note: in v20 - v35, HTML element constructors are not callable, despite having typeof function.

  • Note: in v19, document.all is not callable.

• IE: v6 - v11_{(every integer version}

• Opera: v11.1, v11.5, v11.6, v12.1, v12.14, v12.15, v12.16, v15+ _{v15+ matches Chrome}

Example

var isCallable = require('is-callable');
var assert = require('assert');

assert.notOk(isCallable(undefined));
assert.notOk(isCallable(null));
assert.notOk(isCallable(false));
assert.notOk(isCallable(true));
assert.notOk(isCallable([]));
assert.notOk(isCallable({}));
assert.notOk(isCallable(/a/g));
assert.notOk(isCallable(new RegExp('a', 'g')));
assert.notOk(isCallable(new Date()));
assert.notOk(isCallable(42));
assert.notOk(isCallable(NaN));
assert.notOk(isCallable(Infinity));
assert.notOk(isCallable(new Number(42)));
assert.notOk(isCallable('foo'));
assert.notOk(isCallable(Object('foo')));

assert.ok(isCallable(function () {}));
assert.ok(isCallable(function* () {}));
assert.ok(isCallable(x => x * x));
