## Usage
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var isIterableLike = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-iterable-like' );
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### isIterableLike( value )
|
|
|
|
Tests if a `value` is [`iterable`][mdn-iterator-protocol]-like.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var bool = isIterableLike( [] );
|
|
// returns <boolean>
|
|
|
|
bool = isIterableLike( {} );
|
|
// returns false
|
|
```

## Notes
|
|
|
|
- In order to be [iterable][mdn-iterable-protocol], an `object` must implement the `@@iterator` method, which, when called, returns an [iterator protocol-compliant object][mdn-iterator-protocol].
|
|
- An [iterator protocol-compliant object][mdn-iterator-protocol] is an `object` having a `next` method following the [iterator protocol][mdn-iterator-protocol].
|
|
- As full [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] compliance is **impossible** to achieve without evaluating an [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol], this function checks **only** for interface compliance.
|
|
- In environments lacking `Symbol.iterator` support, this function always returns `false`.
