is-plain-object 5.0.0

"is-plain-object", a popular npm package, is a nifty tool for JavaScript programming. What it does is quite simple yet incredibly useful: it checks if a given object was created either by the Object constructor or via Object.create(null), and returns a boolean value accordingly — true if it was, false if not.

Getting started with "is-plain-object" is quite straightforward. After installing the package with npm via the command "$ npm install --save is-plain-object", you can use it in your JavaScript code using ES modules or Common JS. You just need to import the "isPlainObject" function from the package and use it to check if your object is a plain object.

Here is an example with ES modules:

import {isPlainObject} from 'is-plain-object';

let myObject = {foo: 'bar'};

console.log(isPlainObject(myObject));  // it will return true

Or with Common JS:

const {isPlainObject} = require('is-plain-object');

let myObject = {foo: 'bar'};

console.log(isPlainObject(myObject));  // it will return true

The function will return true if the object was created by the Object constructor or Object.create(null), and false otherwise.
