- # is-extendable [](http://badge.fury.io/js/is-extendable)
- > Returns true if a value is any of the object types: array, regexp, plain object, function or date. This is useful for determining if a value can be extended, e.g. "can the value have keys?"
- ## Install
- Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/)
- ```sh
- $ npm i is-extendable --save
- ```
- ## Usage
- ```js
- var isExtendable = require('is-extendable');
- ```
- Returns true if the value is any of the following:
- * `array`
- * `regexp`
- * `plain object`
- * `function`
- * `date`
- * `error`
- ## Notes
- All objects in JavaScript can have keys, but it's a pain to check for this, since we ether need to verify that the value is not `null` or `undefined` and:
- * the value is not a primitive, or
- * that the object is an `object`, `function`
- Also note that an `extendable` object is not the same as an [extensible object](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/isExtensible), which is one that (in es6) is not sealed, frozen, or marked as non-extensible using `preventExtensions`.
