| Version: | 1.0 |
| Available: | since V? |
Contents
Checks if the parameter is like an Array.
As with all dojo._base components, these functions are included within Dojo Base. You get this functionality by just including dojo.js or dojo.xd.js in your page.
Usage¶
Use this to test if a variable is like an Array. Similar to dojo.isArray() but more permissive.
1 | dojo.isArrayLike(foo)
|
Returns true if it is like an Array.
1 2 3 4 | // Check, if variable "foo" is like an array:
if(dojo.isArrayLike(foo)){
// do something...
}
|
Examples¶
Test against isArrayLike()¶
<style type="text/css">
.style1 { background: #f1f1f1; padding: 10px; }
</style><script type="text/javascript">
dojo.require("dijit.form.Button");
// test variable t:
var t;
function testIt() {
// resultDiv is the spanning DIV around the result:
var resultDiv = dojo.byId('resultDiv');
// Here comes the test:
// Is t like an Array?
if (dojo.isArrayLike(t)) {
// dojooo: t is like an array!
dojo.attr(resultDiv, "innerHTML",
"Yes, good choice: 't' is like an array.<br />Try another button.");
// Change the backgroundColor:
dojo.style(resultDiv, {
"backgroundColor": "#a4e672",
"color": "black"
});
} else {
// no chance, this can't be an array:
dojo.attr(resultDiv, "innerHTML",
"No chance: 't' can't be like an array with such a value "
+ "('t' seems to be a " + typeof t + ").<br />"
+ "Try another button.");
// Change the backgroundColor:
dojo.style(resultDiv, {
"backgroundColor": "#e67272",
"color": "white"
});
}
}
