toString()

Note:

The content in this help topic applies to SuiteScript 2.0 and SuiteScript 2.1.

Method Description

Method used to determine an object’s type. This is a global method that is loaded by default for all native SuiteScript 2.x API objects.

Note:

Consider this method a replacement for the instanceOf operator (which is not supported). SuiteScript 2.x members are immutable; you cannot construct or modify a native SuiteScript 2.x member. Consequently, if you attempt to call instanceOf, an undefined error is thrown.

For information about toString() as a native JavaScript method, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_objects/object/toString.

Returns

The object type as a string
