# is-data-descriptor [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/is-data-descriptor) [](https://travis-ci.org/jonschlinkert/is-data-descriptor)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> Returns true if a value has the characteristics of a valid JavaScript data descriptor.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Install
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
$ npm i is-data-descriptor --save
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Usage
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
var isDataDesc = require('is-data-descriptor');
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Examples
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
`true` when the descriptor has valid properties with valid values.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
// `value` can be anything
 | 
						|
isDataDesc({value: 'foo'})
 | 
						|
isDataDesc({value: function() {}})
 | 
						|
isDataDesc({value: true})
 | 
						|
//=> true
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
`false` when not an object
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
isDataDesc('a')
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
isDataDesc(null)
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
isDataDesc([])
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
`false` when the object has invalid properties
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
isDataDesc({value: 'foo', bar: 'baz'})
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
isDataDesc({value: 'foo', bar: 'baz'})
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
isDataDesc({value: 'foo', get: function(){}})
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
isDataDesc({get: function(){}, value: 'foo'})
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
`false` when a value is not the correct type
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
isDataDesc({value: 'foo', enumerable: 'foo'})
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
isDataDesc({value: 'foo', configurable: 'foo'})
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
isDataDesc({value: 'foo', writable: 'foo'})
 | 
						|
//=> false
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Valid properties
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The only valid data descriptor properties are the following:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `configurable` (required)
 | 
						|
* `enumerable` (required)
 | 
						|
* `value` (optional)
 | 
						|
* `writable` (optional)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To be a valid data descriptor, either `value` or `writable` must be defined.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Invalid properties**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
A descriptor may have additional _invalid_ properties (an error will **not** be thrown).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
var foo = {};
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Object.defineProperty(foo, 'bar', {
 | 
						|
  enumerable: true,
 | 
						|
  whatever: 'blah', // invalid, but doesn't cause an error
 | 
						|
  get: function() {
 | 
						|
    return 'baz';
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
});
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
console.log(foo.bar);
 | 
						|
//=> 'baz'
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
