# Check If Something Is An Array
|
||||
|
||||
The `Array` class has a function on it called
|
||||
[`isArray()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/isArray)
|
||||
which can be used to check if something is an array.
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
> Array.isArray('Hello, World!');
|
||||
// => false
|
||||
|
||||
> Array.isArray(['One', 2, [3]]);
|
||||
// => true
|
||||
|
||||
> Array.isArray({ foo: 'bar' });
|
||||
// => false
|
||||
|
||||
> Array.isArray([]);
|
||||
// => true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The MDN docs provide an [example
|
||||
polyfill](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/isArray#Polyfill)
|
||||
if it is not natively available.
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
if (!Array.isArray) {
|
||||
Array.isArray = function(arg) {
|
||||
return Object.prototype.toString.call(arg) === '[object Array]';
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
