Is it possible to check if a variable is a Resonse type object vs a normal object?
I have tried to use typeof, but both cases end in the object. I also tried to do Object.keys(myVar). This gives me an empty array on Response and keys on the object. This could work, but I hope there is a better way to distinguish both.
let myVar
if (something) {
myVar = { someKey: someValue }
} else {
myVar = new Response(...)
}
// check if myVar is a Response or an object...

You can use the instanceOf operator for this purpose:
something = false
let myVar
if (something) {
myVar = { someKey: someValue }
} else {
myVar = new Response()
}
console.log('IsResponse:', myVar instanceof Response).as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; }
