# is-data-descriptor [![NPM version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/is-data-descriptor.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/is-data-descriptor) [![Build Status](https://img.shields.io/travis/jonschlinkert/is-data-descriptor.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/jonschlinkert/is-data-descriptor)
> Returns true if a value has the characteristics of a valid JavaScript data descriptor.
## Install
Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):
```sh
$ npm i is-data-descriptor --save
```
## Usage
```js
var isDataDesc = require('is-data-descriptor');
```
## Examples
`true` when the descriptor has valid properties with valid values.
```js
// `value` can be anything
isDataDesc({value: 'foo'})
isDataDesc({value: function() {}})
isDataDesc({value: true})
//=> true
```
`false` when not an object
```js
isDataDesc('a')
//=> false
isDataDesc(null)
//=> false
isDataDesc([])
//=> false
```
`false` when the object has invalid properties
```js
isDataDesc({value: 'foo', bar: 'baz'})
//=> false
isDataDesc({value: 'foo', bar: 'baz'})
//=> false
isDataDesc({value: 'foo', get: function(){}})
//=> false
isDataDesc({get: function(){}, value: 'foo'})
//=> false
```
`false` when a value is not the correct type
```js
isDataDesc({value: 'foo', enumerable: 'foo'})
//=> false
isDataDesc({value: 'foo', configurable: 'foo'})
//=> false
isDataDesc({value: 'foo', writable: 'foo'})
//=> false
```
## Valid properties
The only valid data descriptor properties are the following:
* `configurable` (required)
* `enumerable` (required)
* `value` (optional)
* `writable` (optional)
To be a valid data descriptor, either `value` or `writable` must be defined.
**Invalid properties**
A descriptor may have additional _invalid_ properties (an error will **not** be thrown).
```js
var foo = {};
Object.defineProperty(foo, 'bar', {
enumerable: true,
whatever: 'blah', // invalid, but doesn't cause an error
get: function() {
return 'baz';
}
});
console.log(foo.bar);
//=> 'baz'
```
