isNull
function isNull(value: unknown): value is null;
Strictly null. undefined is a separate case — isNil covers both.
isX and nonX answer a question and never interrupt control flow; requireX and requireNonX hand the value back or throw. The scheme is explained in Validation conventions.
Parameters
Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
| The value to check. |
Returns
boolean — true when the value is null; otherwise false.
In TypeScript the guard narrows value to null inside the branch.
