isValidSheetName
function isValidSheetName(value: unknown): value is string;
What Google Sheets accepts: at most 100 characters, not blank, none of \ / ? * [ ], and not the reserved name history in any case.
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 sheet name; otherwise false.
In TypeScript the guard narrows value to string inside the branch.
