Like _.isArrayLike, except it also checks that value is an object. Arrays, Arguments, and list-shaped objects pass; string primitives fail. Part of Lodash Lang since 4.0.0 (stable — not deprecated).
Pass the value you want to inspect or convert. Read the return type carefully before you use the result.
Call _.isArrayLikeObject. Start with this line.
_.isArrayLikeObject(value)| Call | What it does |
|---|---|
_.isArrayLikeObject(value) | Primary signature. |
Prefer import isArrayLikeObject from "lodash/isArrayLikeObject" when you want a smaller bundle.
_.isArrayLikeObject(value)| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| value | Required. The value to check |
| Return Value | Description |
|---|---|
| * | true if array-like object, else false |
Real arrays are array-like objects.
_.isArrayLikeObject([1, 2, 3]);
// → true[1, 2, 3].length, not a function.true.This is the key difference from _.isArrayLike.
_.isArrayLikeObject("abc");
// → false
_.isArrayLike("abc");
// → true"abc" is a string, not an object.false.true.Functions fail for the same reason as with isArrayLike.
_.isArrayLikeObject(_.noop);
// → falselength property.false._.noop example.Object collections with a valid length pass.
var args = (function () { return arguments; })(1, 2);
var like = { 0: "a", length: 1 };
_.isArrayLikeObject(args); // → true
_.isArrayLikeObject(like); // → true
_.isArray(args); // → falsetrue.true.false._.toArray before Array methods.isArrayLikeUse this table as a quick decision guide.
var samples = [
[1, 2],
"hi",
{ 0: "a", length: 1 },
_.noop
];
samples.map(function (v) {
return {
isArrayLike: _.isArrayLike(v),
isArrayLikeObject: _.isArrayLikeObject(v)
};
});
// → [

// { isArrayLike: true, isArrayLikeObject: false }, // string
// { isArrayLike: true, isArrayLikeObject: true }, // object
// { isArrayLike: false, isArrayLikeObject: false } // function
// ]true.isArrayLike is true.false._.isArrayLikeObject is a Lodash Lang helper (added in 4.0.0). It runs anywhere Lodash 4.x runs — modern browsers (via CDN or bundle) and Node.js / Bun / Deno with npm install lodash.
Available in [email protected] full builds and the lodash/isArrayLikeObject modular import. Works in evergreen browsers and current Node LTS when Lodash is installed.
Bottom line: Safe for production once Lodash 4.0.0+ is on the page or in your bundle. Prefer import isArrayLikeObject from "lodash/isArrayLikeObject" for smaller builds. Combine native Array.isArray with custom length checks if you avoid Lodash.
Check whether a value is classified as a boolean.
