> Returns true if the value is a finite number.

## Install

Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):

```sh
$ npm install --save is-number
```

## Why is this needed?

In JavaScript, it's not always as straightforward as it should be to reliably check if a value is a number. It's common for devs to use `+`, `-`, or `Number()` to cast a string value to a number (for example, when values are returned from user input, regex matches, parsers, etc). But there are many non-intuitive edge cases that yield unexpected results:

```js
console.log(+[]); //=> 0
console.log(+''); //=> 0
console.log(+'   '); //=> 0
console.log(typeof NaN); //=> 'number'
```

This library offers a performant way to smooth out edge cases like these.

## Usage

```js
const isNumber = require('is-number');
```

See the [tests](./test.js) for more examples.

### true

```js
isNumber(5e3);               // true
isNumber(0xff);              // true
isNumber(-1.1);              // true
isNumber(0);                 // true
isNumber(1);                 // true
isNumber(1.1);               // true
isNumber(10);                // true
isNumber(10.10);             // true
isNumber(100);               // true
isNumber('-1.1');            // true
isNumber('0');               // true
isNumber('012');             // true
isNumber('0xff');            // true
isNumber('1');               // true
isNumber('1.1');             // true
isNumber('10');              // true
isNumber('10.10');           // true
isNumber('100');             // true
isNumber('5e3');             // true
isNumber(parseInt('012'));   // true
isNumber(parseFloat('012')); // true
```

### False

Everything else is false, as you would expect:

```js
isNumber(Infinity);          // false
isNumber(NaN);               // false
isNumber(null);              // false
isNumber(undefined);         // false
isNumber('');                // false
isNumber('   ');             // false
isNumber('foo');             // false
isNumber([1]);               // false
isNumber([]);                // false
isNumber(function () {});    // false
isNumber({});                // false
```

## Release history

### 7.0.0

* Refactor. Now uses `.isFinite` if it exists.
* Performance is about the same as v6.0 when the value is a string or number. But it's now 3x-4x faster when the value is not a string or number.

### 6.0.0

* Optimizations, thanks to @benaadams.

### 5.0.0

**Breaking changes**

* removed support for `instanceof Number` and `instanceof String`
