# isObjectLike
[![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![Build Status][test-image]][test-url] [![Coverage Status][coverage-image]][coverage-url]
> Test if a value is object-like.
## Installation
```bash
npm install @stdlib/assert-is-object-like
```
## Usage
```javascript
var isObjectLike = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-object-like' );
```
#### isObjectLike( value )
Tests if a `value` is object-like.
```javascript
var bool = isObjectLike( {} );
// returns true
bool = isObjectLike( [] );
// returns true
bool = isObjectLike( true );
// returns false
```
#### isObjectLike.isObjectLikeArray( value )
Tests if a `value` is an `array` of object-like values.
```javascript
var bool = isObjectLike.isObjectLikeArray( [ {}, [] ] );
// returns true
bool = isObjectLike.isObjectLikeArray( [ {}, '3.0' ] );
// returns false
bool = isObjectLike.isObjectLikeArray( [] );
// returns false
```
## Notes
- Return values are the same as would be obtained using the built-in [`typeof`][type-of] operator **except** that `null` is **not** considered an `object`.
```javascript
var bool = ( typeof null === 'object' );
// returns true
bool = isObjectLike( null );
// returns false
```
## Examples
```javascript
var Int8Array = require( '@stdlib/array-int8' );
var ArrayBuffer = require( '@stdlib/array-buffer' );
var isObjectLike = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-object-like' );
var bool = isObjectLike( {} );
// returns true
bool = isObjectLike( [] );
// returns true
bool = isObjectLike( /./ );
// returns true
bool = isObjectLike( new Date() );
// returns true
bool = isObjectLike( Math );
// returns true
bool = isObjectLike( JSON );
// returns true
bool = isObjectLike( new Int8Array() );
// returns true
bool = isObjectLike( new ArrayBuffer() );
// returns true
bool = isObjectLike( 'a' );
// returns false
bool = isObjectLike( 5 );
// returns false
bool = isObjectLike( null );
// returns false
bool = isObjectLike( void 0 );
// returns false
bool = isObjectLike( function foo() {} );
// returns false
```
