## Usage ```javascript var isLowercase = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-lowercase' ); ``` #### isLowercase( value ) Tests if a `value` is a lowercase `string`. ```javascript var bool = isLowercase( 'salt and light' ); // returns true bool = isLowercase( 'HELLO' ); // returns false bool = isLowercase( 'World' ); // returns false ```
