check if [a] an array or [b] is an typed array or [c] an buffer array or [d] specific type using the package

# which-istypedarray
check if `[a]` an `array` or `[b]` is an `typed array` or `[c]` an `buffer array` or `[d]` specific `type` using the package and browser compatible


* check if `[a]` an `array` or `[b]` is an `typed array` or `[c]` an `buffer array` or `[d]` specific `type` using `isTypedArray`
* check if a buffer is `typed array` pattern like using the `isTypedArrayUsingPattern`
* check if a an object provided is `buffer` using `isBufferLike`
* check if a environment supports `supportsArrayBuffer`, `supportsDataView`, `nativeIsArrayBufferView`, 
* check if a object is inbuilt object or is of specific type like `String`, `Number`, `Date`, `RegExp`, `Error`, `Symbol`, `ArrayBuffer`, `Function` , `DataView`, `Object` using `toString` method 
* convert to `BufferView` using `toBufferView`
* get predefined key/ property value of an object using the `getShallowProperty`

```

  toString,
  supportsDataView,
  nativeIsArrayBufferView,
  isTypedArrayUsingPattern,
  toBufferView,
  getShallowProperty,
  tagTester
} = require("which-istypedarray");


// isTypedArray
console.log('isTypedArray: ', isTypedArray(new Array('stress'))); // false
console.log('isTypedArray: ', isTypedArray(new String('stress'))); // false

// isTypedArray

console.log('isTypedArray: ', isTypedArray(['test', 'tester'])); // false
console.log('isTypedArray: ', isTypedArray(new Int16Array([1, 2, 3, 4]))); // true

// isBufferLike

console.log('isBufferLike: ', isBufferLike(['test', 'tester'])); // false
console.log('isBufferLike: ', isBufferLike(Buffer.from(['test', 'tester']))); // true

// isTypedArrayUsingPattern

console.log('isTypedArrayUsingPattern: ', isTypedArrayUsingPattern(new Int16Array([1, 2, 3, 4]))); // true


// supportsArrayBuffer
// supportsDataView
// nativeIsArrayBufferView

// tagTester

var isString = tagTester('String');

var isSymbol = tagTester('Symbol');
var isArrayBuffer = tagTester('ArrayBuffer');
var isFunction = tagTester('Function');
var isDataView = tagTester('DataView');
var hasObjectTag = tagTester('Object');

let obj = "string";
isString(obj) // true

obj = 10;
isNumber(obj) // true

obj = new Date();
isDate(obj) // true

obj = new RegExp(/^a/g);
isRegExp(obj) // true

obj = new Error("Test");

obj = Symbol("a");
isSymbol(obj) // true

obj = new ArrayBuffer();
isArrayBuffer(obj) // true

obj = () => {};
isFunction(obj) // true

obj = [1, 2, 3];
isDataView(obj) // false

obj = {}

// getShallowProperty

let getMykeyValue = getShallowProperty("mykey")

console.log("getMykeyValue: ", getMykeyValue(obj)) // 10
