[J框架知识扫盲]之Object.prototype.toString.call()

用过Jquery的朋友都知道，Jquery是通过Object.prototype.toString.call还判断对象的类型的，那究竟如何做呢？

 

来到http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/5.1/#sec-15.2.4.2的一段话：

 

Object.prototype.toString ( )

 

When the toString method is called, the following steps are taken:

 

1.If the this value is undefined, return "[object Undefined]".

2.If the this value is null, return "[object Null]".

3.Let O be the result of calling ToObject passing the this value as the argument.

4.Let class be the value of the [[Class]] internal property of O.

5.Return the String value that is the result of concatenating the three Strings "[object ", class, and "]".

翻译：

1.如果this的值为undefined,则返回"[object Undefined]".

2.如果this的值为null,则返回"[object Null]".

3.让O成为调用ToObject(this)的结果.

4.让class成为O的内部属性[[Class]]的值.

5.返回三个字符串"[object ", class, 以及 "]"连接后的新字符串.

 

因此通过调用后Object.prototype.toString.call()，都会返回 [object class]的样式，我们可以先记录起这些样式，反过来判断。

var class2type = {},     //用于记录[object class]样式
objs = "Boolean Number String Function Array Date RegExp Null Undefined".split(" ");
for (var i = 0, l = objs.length; i < l; i++) {
     class2type[ "[object " + objs[i] + "]" ] = objs[i].toLowerCase();
}

function type(obj) {
     return class2type[ Object.prototype.toString.call(obj) ] || "object";
}
