apps-script-utils 2.1.1 Help

isPresentation

function isPresentation(value: unknown): value is GoogleAppsScript.Slides.Presentation;

An Apps Script service object has no constructor a script can test against, so the guard looks for the methods that define the type — getId, getSlides. A stub that implements them passes, which is what makes code using this guard testable outside the runtime.

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

value

unknown

The value to check.

Returns

boolean — true when the value is a presentation; otherwise false.

In TypeScript the guard narrows value to GoogleAppsScript.Slides.Presentation inside the branch.

Examples

What passes and what does not

const presentation = SlidesApp.getActivePresentation(); isPresentation(presentation); // => true isPresentation({}); // => false isPresentation(null); // => false
