在ES6中，如何检查对象的类？

Question

In the ES6, if I make a class and create an object of that class, how do I check that the object is that class?

I can't just use typeof because the objects are still "object" . Do I just compare constructors?

Example:

class Person {
  constructor() {}
}

var person = new Person();

if ( /* what do I put here to check if person is a Person? */ ) {
  // do stuff
}

Answer 1

Can't you do person instanceof Person ?

Comparing constructors alone won't work for subclasses

Answer 2

Just a word of caution, the use of instanceof seems prone to failure for literals of built-in JS classes (eg String , Number , etc). In these cases it might be safer to use typeof as follows:

typeof("foo") === "string";
