如何确定变量是字符串还是JavaScript中的其他内容?

This is good enough for me.

WARNING: This is not a perfect solution. See the bottom of my post.

Object.prototype.isString = function() { return false; };
String.prototype.isString = function() { return true; };

var isString = function(a) {
  return (a !== null) && (a !== undefined) && a.isString();
};

And you can use this like below.

//return false
isString(null);
isString(void 0);
isString(-123);
isString(0);
isString(true);
isString(false);
isString([]);
isString({});
isString(function() {});
isString(0/0);

//return true
isString("");
isString(new String("ABC"));

WARNING: This works incorrectly in the case:

//this is not a string
var obj = {
    //but returns true lol
    isString: function(){ return true; }
}

isString(obj) //should be false, but true

I find this simple technique useful to type-check for String -

String(x) === x // true, if x is a string
                // false in every other case

const test = x =>
  console.assert
    ( String(x) === x
    , `not a string: ${x}`
    )

test("some string")
test(123)           // assertion failed
test(0)             // assertion failed
test(/some regex/)  // assertion failed
test([ 5, 6 ])      // assertion failed
test({ a: 1 })      // assertion failed
test(x => x + 1)    // assertion failed

The same technique works for Number too -

Number(x) === x // true, if x is a number
                // false in every other case

const test = x =>
  console.assert
    ( Number(x) === x
    , `not a number: ${x}`
    )

test("some string") // assertion failed
test(123)           
test(0)             
test(/some regex/)  // assertion failed
test([ 5, 6 ])      // assertion failed
test({ a: 1 })      // assertion failed
test(x => x + 1)    // assertion failed

And for RegExp -

RegExp(x) === x // true, if x is a regexp
                // false in every other case

const test = x =>
  console.assert
    ( RegExp(x) === x
    , `not a regexp: ${x}`
    )

test("some string") // assertion failed
test(123)           // assertion failed
test(0)             // assertion failed
test(/some regex/)  
test([ 5, 6 ])      // assertion failed
test({ a: 1 })      // assertion failed
test(x => x + 1)    // assertion failed

Same for Object -

Object(x) === x // true, if x is an object
                // false in every other case

NB, regexps, arrays, and functions are considered objects too.

const test = x =>
  console.assert
    ( Object(x) === x
    , `not an object: ${x}`
    )

test("some string") // assertion failed
test(123)           // assertion failed
test(0)             // assertion failed
test(/some regex/)  
test([ 5, 6 ])      
test({ a: 1 })      
test(x => x + 1)    

But, checking for Array is a bit different -

Array.isArray(x) === x // true, if x is an array
                       // false in every other case

const test = x =>
  console.assert
    ( Array.isArray(x)
    , `not an array: ${x}`
    )

test("some string") // assertion failed
test(123)           // assertion failed
test(0)             // assertion failed
test(/some regex/)  // assertion failed
test([ 5, 6 ])      
test({ a: 1 })      // assertion failed
test(x => x + 1)    // assertion failed

This technique does not work for Functions however -

Function(x) === x // always false

我还发现这也很好,并且比其他示例短很多。

if (myVar === myVar + '') {
   //its string
} else {
   //its something else
}

通过串联空引号,它将值转换为字符串。如果myVar已经是一个字符串,则if语句成功。

var a = new String('')
var b = ''
var c = []

function isString(x) {
  return x !== null && x !== undefined && x.constructor === String
}

console.log(isString(a))
console.log(isString(b))
console.log(isString(c))
