What is this?

This is a function that checks if a given character is a white space character: whether it matches [a-f0-9], case insensitive.

When should I use this?

Not often, as it’s relatively simple to do yourself. This package exists because it’s needed in several related packages, at which point it becomes useful to defer to one shared function.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 14.14+, 16.0+), install with npm:

npm install is-hexadecimal

In Deno with esm.sh:

import {isHexadecimal} from 'https://esm.sh/is-hexadecimal@2'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import {isHexadecimal} from 'https://esm.sh/is-hexadecimal@2?bundle'
</script>

Use

import {isHexadecimal} from 'is-hexadecimal'

isHexadecimal('a') // => true
isHexadecimal('0') // => true
isHexadecimal('G') // => false
isHexadecimal('💩') // => false

API

isHexadecimal(value)

Check if the given code point (number), or the code point at the first index (string), is hexadecimal.

Types

This package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports no additional types.

Compatibility
