ApiInitializerMixin.isBaseClassOf() function

A type guard that tests whether the specified ApiItem subclass extends the ApiInitializerMixin mixin.

Signature:

function isBaseClassOf(apiItem: ApiItem): apiItem is ApiInitializerMixin;

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
apiItemApiItem

Returns:

apiItem is ApiInitializerMixin

Remarks

The JavaScript instanceof operator cannot be used to test for mixin inheritance, because each invocation of the mixin function produces a different subclass. (This could be mitigated by Symbol.hasInstance, however the TypeScript type system cannot invoke a runtime test.)
