nonUrl
function nonUrl<T>(value: T | string): value is T;
nonUrl(value) is the same test as !isUrl(value), written so that a guard clause reads as a sentence rather than as a negation.
An http, https or ftp URL with something after the scheme and no whitespace anywhere. A bare host such as "example.com" is not one.
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 not a URL; otherwise false.
In TypeScript the guard narrows value to T inside the branch.
