nonRange

function nonRange<T>(value: T | GoogleAppsScript.Spreadsheet.Range): value is T;

nonRange(value) is the same test as !isRange(value), written so that a guard clause reads as a sentence rather than as a negation.

An Apps Script service object has no constructor a script can test against, so the guard reads the tag the object reports for itself: value.toString() === "Range". A plain object that reports the same tag passes too, which in practice means a test double.

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`	`T \\| GoogleAppsScript.Spreadsheet.Range`	The value to check.

Returns

boolean — true when the value is not a range; otherwise false.

In TypeScript the guard narrows value to T inside the branch.

Examples

What passes and what does not

const range = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveRange();

nonRange({}); // => true
nonRange(null); // => true
nonRange(range); // => false
