• value: This parameter holds the value that needs to be Checked for an ArrayLikeObject.

Return Value: This method returns a Boolean value.

Example 1: This method returns true for an Array as it is an object also.

Javascript

// Defining Lodash variable
const _ = require('lodash');

var val = [1, 2, 3];

// Checking for an ArrayLikeObject
console.log("The Value is ArrayLikeObject : "
    +_.isArrayLikeObject(val));

Output:

Example 2: This method returns false for the string as it is not an object.

    +_.isArrayLikeObject(val));

    +_.isArrayLikeObject(val));
