This function is only available in es-toolkit/compat for compatibility reasons. It either has alternative native JavaScript APIs or isn’t fully optimized yet.
When imported from es-toolkit/compat, it behaves exactly like lodash and provides the same functionalities, as detailed here.
Check if a value is an object-like.
A value is object-like if its type is object and it is not null.
This function can also serve as a type predicate in TypeScript, narrowing the type of the argument to an object-like value.
