isFloat

Signature

function isFloat<N = number>(it: N): it is Float<N>;

Checks if the value is a floating-point number. Supports both single and double precision floating-point numbers.

Parameters

Name	Info
it	The value to check.

Returns

true if the value is a floating-point number, false otherwise.

Numbers

Examples

import { isFloat } from "@nick/is/float";

isFloat(1); // false
isFloat(1.0); // false
isFloat(1.1); // true
isFloat(1.00001e1); // true

isFloat

Signature

function isFloat(it: unknown): it is Float;

Checks if the value is a floating-point number. Supports both single and double precision floating-point numbers.

Rules for what is (and isn't) seen as a floating-point number

• 0, -0 are considered valid floating-point numbers, and return true.
• 1, -1 and other integers (or "non-floating" values) return false.
• Special cases like Infinity, -Infinity, and NaN return false.

Parameters

Name	Info
it	The value to check.

Returns

true if the value is a floating-point number, false otherwise.

Examples

import { isFloat } from "@nick/is/float";

isFloat(0); // true
isFloat(1); // false
isFloat(1.0); // false
isFloat(1.1); // true
isFloat(1.00001e1); // true

Float

Signature

export type Float<N = number> = Cast<N, FLOAT>;

Casts a value into a floating-point type. If the value is not a number, it will resolve to never.

Type Parameters

• N (default: number)

Examples

import { type Float, isFloat } from "@nick/is/float";

let x = 1.5 as Float, y = 0;

if (isFloat(x)) {
  console.log(x);
} else {
  console.log(y);
}

// This will raise a TypeScript compiler error:
x = 1; // <- TS2322 Type '1' is not assignable to type 'Float'.

MaybeFloat

Signature

export type MaybeFloat<N = number> = Cast<N, MAYBE_FLOAT>;

Casts a value into a partial floating-point type. If the value is not a number, it will resolve to never.

Type Parameters

• N (default: number)

Examples

import { isFloat, type MaybeFloat } from "@nick/is/float";

let x = 1.5 as MaybeFloat, y = 0;

if (isFloat(x)) {
  console.log(x);
} else {
  console.log(y);
}

y = 1; // <- No error! (this is the main difference from `Float`)
