## typical
Isomorphic, functional type-checking for Javascript.

**Example**  
```js
const t = require('typical')
const allDefined = array.every(t.isDefined)
```

<a name="module_typical.isNumber"></a>

### t.isNumber(n) ⇒ <code>boolean</code>
Returns true if input is a number. It is a more reasonable alternative to `typeof n` which returns `number` for `NaN` and `Infinity`.

**Kind**: static method of [<code>typical</code>](#module_typical)  

| Param | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| n | <code>\*</code> | the input to test |

**Example**  
```js
> t.isNumber(0)
true
> t.isNumber(1)
true
> t.isNumber(1.1)
true
> t.isNumber(0xff)
true
> t.isNumber(0644)
true
> t.isNumber(6.2e5)
true
> t.isNumber(NaN)
false
> t.isNumber(Infinity)
false
```
<a name="module_typical.isPlainObject"></a>

### t.isPlainObject(input) ⇒ <code>boolean</code>
A plain object is a simple object literal, it is not an instance of a class. Returns true if the input `typeof` is `object` and directly decends from `Object`.

**Kind**: static method of [<code>typical</code>](#module_typical)  

| Param | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| input | <code>\*</code> | the input to test |

**Example**  
```js
> t.isPlainObject({ something: 'one' })
true

false
> t.isPlainObject([ 0, 1 ])
false
> t.isPlainObject(/test/)
false
> t.isPlainObject(1)
false
> t.isPlainObject('one')
false

false

false

### t.isArrayLike(input) ⇒ <code>boolean</code>

**Kind**: static method of [<code>typical</code>](#module_typical)  

| Param | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |

```js
function sum(x, y){
  console.log(t.isArrayLike(arguments))
  // prints `true`
}
```

## Load anywhere

This library is compatible with Node.js, the Web and any style of module loader. It can be loaded anywhere, natively without transpilation.

Node.js:

```js
const typical = require('typical')
```

Within Node.js with ECMAScript Module support enabled:

```js
import typical from 'typical'
```

Within a modern browser ECMAScript Module:

```js
import typical from './node_modules/typical/index.mjs'
```

Old browser (adds `window.typical`):

```html
<script nomodule src="./node_modules/typical/dist/index.js"></script>
```
