Often there is a need to compare variable types in javascript

const arr = [2,4,6,8]
const obj = { type: ‘serviceBot’, valid: true }
console.log(typeof arr)
console.log(typeof obj)

The result is

object
object

Apparently there seems to be something wrong because the array is recognized as an object and seems to be no real difference between object and array.
This because in javascript all derived data type is always a type object. Included functions and array.
In case you need to check if it’s an array you can use isArray method of Array.

const arr = [2,4,6,8]
const obj = { type: ‘serviceBot’, valid: true }
console.log(Array.isArray(arr))
console.log(Array.isArray(obj))

The result is

true
false

otherwise there is a instanceOf operator

const arr = [2,4,6,8]
const obj = { type: ‘serviceBot’, valid: true }
console.log(arr instanceOf Array)
console.log(obj instanceOf Array)

and the result will be the same as the previous one.
