Buffer Type Validator

A utility module that validates input data types for buffer processing operations. The module ensures that only valid buffer-like data structures are accepted for processing.

Capabilities

Input Type Validation

Validates that input data is of the correct type before processing.

• When passed null, the validator returns false @test
• When passed undefined, the validator returns false @test
• When passed a string like "hello", the validator returns false @test
• When passed a number like 42, the validator returns false @test
• When passed a boolean like true, the validator returns false @test
• When passed a plain object like {}, the validator returns false @test
• When passed an array like [1, 2, 3], the validator returns false @test
• When passed a function, the validator returns false @test

Buffer Type Acceptance

Correctly identifies and accepts actual Buffer instances.

• When passed a Buffer created with Buffer.from([1, 2, 3]), the validator returns true @test
• When passed a Buffer created with Buffer.alloc(10), the validator returns true @test
