isSlide
function isSlide(value: unknown): value is GoogleAppsScript.Slides.Slide;
An Apps Script service object has no constructor a script can test against, so the guard looks for the methods that define the type — getObjectId, getPageElementById. 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 |
|---|---|---|
|
| The value to check. |
Returns
boolean — true when the value is a slide; otherwise false.
In TypeScript the guard narrows value to GoogleAppsScript.Slides.Slide inside the branch.
Examples
What passes and what does not
const slide = SlidesApp.getActivePresentation().getSlides()[0];
isSlide(slide); // => true
isSlide({}); // => false
isSlide(null); // => false
