How do you detect primitive or non primitive value type
In JavaScript, primitive types include boolean, string, number, BigInt, null, Symbol and undefined. Whereas non-primitive types include the Objects. But you can easily identify them with the below function,
var myPrimitive = 30;
var myNonPrimitive = {};
function isPrimitive(val) {
return Object(val) !== val;
}
isPrimitive(myPrimitive);
isPrimitive(myNonPrimitive);
