isNull

isNull :: a → Boolean

Evaluates whether the given value is null
import isNull from 'deep-waters/isNull';
​
isNull(null); // → true
isNull(undefined); // → false
isNull(false); // → false
isNull, like any other type validator, is mostly used in composed validators:
import isString from 'deep-waters/isString';
import matchesPattern from 'deep-waters/matchesPattern';
​
const isEmail = compose(
  isString,
  matchesPattern(/^\w+([.-]?\w+)*@\w+([.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,3})+$/),
);
isNull is built on top of ofClass validator and rely on Object.prototype.toString to check on the received value type in order to avoid typeof weird behaviours and encouraging a runtime strict type validation.
