# isArrayLikeObject

> Test if a value is an array-like object.

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var isArrayLikeObject = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-array-like-object' );
```

#### isArrayLikeObject( value )

Tests if a value is an [array-like][array-like] `object`.

<!-- eslint-disable object-curly-newline -->

```javascript
var bool = isArrayLikeObject( [] );
// returns true

bool = isArrayLikeObject( { 'length': 10 } );
// returns true
```

If provided a `string`, the function returns `false`.

```javascript
var bool = isArrayLikeObject( 'beep' );
// returns false
```

## Examples

<!-- eslint-disable object-curly-newline, object-curly-spacing, no-empty-function, no-restricted-syntax -->

<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->

```javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
var isArrayLikeObject = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-array-like-object' );

var bool = isArrayLikeObject( { 'length': 10 } );
// returns true

bool = isArrayLikeObject( [] );
// returns true

bool = isArrayLikeObject( new Float64Array( 10 ) );
// returns true

bool = (function test() {
    return isArrayLikeObject( arguments );
})();
// returns true

bool = isArrayLikeObject( 'beep' );
// returns false

bool = isArrayLikeObject( null );
// returns false

bool = isArrayLikeObject( void 0 );
// returns false

bool = isArrayLikeObject( 5 );
// returns false

bool = isArrayLikeObject( true );
// returns false

bool = isArrayLikeObject( {} );
// returns false

bool = isArrayLikeObject( function noop() {} );
// returns false
