@jest/get-type is a utility within the Jest testing framework. It accurately determines the JavaScript type of a given value, offering a precise and reliable alternative to the native typeof operator. This package distinguishes between various object types, primitive values, and even special cases like NaN and distinguishes instances of classes and types. This granular type identification is crucial for Jest's assertion library and other components that depend on accurate type information for effective testing and matching.
@jest/get-type downloads remained at zero until May 2025. Downloads then surged dramatically, peaking in August 2025 at 30.7 million. September 2025 downloads are currently at 14.2 million, a significant drop, but the month is not yet complete so we do not know the complete data yet.
