[**unist**][unist] utility to check if a node passes a test.

## Install

[npm][]:

```sh
npm install unist-util-is
```

## Use

```js
var is = require('unist-util-is')

var node = {type: 'strong'}
var parent = {type: 'paragraph', children: [node]}

function test(node, n) {
  return n === 5
}

is() // => false
is({children: []}) // => false
is(node) // => true
is(node, 'strong') // => true
is(node, 'emphasis') // => false

is(node, node) // => true
is(parent, {type: 'paragraph'}) // => true
is(parent, {type: 'strong'}) // => false

is(node, test) // => false
is(node, test, 4, parent) // => false
is(node, test, 5, parent) // => true
```

## API

### `is(node[, test[, index, parent[, context]]])`

###### Parameters

*   `node` ([`Node`][node]) — Node to check.
*   `test` ([`Function`][test], `string`, `Object`, or `Array.<Test>`, optional)
    —  When not given, checks if `node` is a [`Node`][node].
    When `string`, works like passing `node => node.type === test`.
    When `array`, checks if any one of the subtests pass.
    When `object`, checks that all keys in `test` are in `node`,
    and that they have strictly equal values
*   `index` (`number`, optional) — [Index][] of `node` in `parent`
*   `parent` ([`Node`][node], optional) — [Parent][] of `node`
*   `context` (`*`, optional) — Context object to invoke `test` with

###### Returns

`boolean` — Whether `test` passed *and* `node` is a [`Node`][node] (object with
`type` set to a non-empty `string`).

#### `function test(node[, index, parent])`

###### Parameters

*   `node` ([`Node`][node]) — Node to check
*   `index` (`number?`) — [Index][] of `node` in `parent`
*   `parent` ([`Node?`][node]) — [Parent][] of `node`

###### Context

`*` — The to `is` given `context`.

###### Returns

`boolean?` — Whether `node` matches.

### `is.convert(test)`

Create a test function from `test`, that can later be called with a `node`,
`index`, and `parent`.
Useful if you’re going to test many nodes, for example when creating a utility
where something else passes an is-compatible test.

The created function is slightly faster because it expects valid input only.
Therefore, passing invalid input, yields unexpected results.

Can also be accessed with `require('unist-util-is/convert')`.

For example:

```js
var u = require('unist-builder')
var convert = require('unist-util-is/convert')

var test = convert('leaf')

var tree = u('tree', [
  u('node', [u('leaf', '1')]),
  u('leaf', '2'),
  u('node', [u('leaf', '3'), u('leaf', '4')]),
  u('leaf', '5')
])

var leafs = tree.children.filter((child, index) => test(child, index, tree))

console.log(leafs)
```

Yields:

```js
[{type: 'leaf', value: '2'}, {type: 'leaf', value: '5'}]
```
