How to detect whether a function is a JavaScript native function

function isNative(fn) { return (/\{\s*\[native code\]\s*\}/).test('' + fn); }

;(function() { // Used to resolve the internal `[[Class]]` of values var toString = Object.prototype.toString; // Used to resolve the decompiled source of functions var fnToString = Function.prototype.toString; // Used to detect host constructors (Safari > 4; really typed array specific) var reHostCtor = /^\[object .+?Constructor\]$/; // Compile a regexp using a common native method as a template. // We chose `Object#toString` because there's a good chance it is not being mucked with. var reNative = RegExp('^' + // Coerce `Object#toString` to a string String(toString) // Escape any special regexp characters .replace(/[.*+?^${}()|[\]\/\\]/g, '\\$&') // Replace mentions of `toString` with `.*?` to keep the template generic. // Replace thing like `for ...` to support environments like Rhino which add extra info // such as method arity. .replace(/toString|(function).*?(?=\\\()| for .+?(?=\\\])/g, '$1.*?') + '$' ); function isNative(value) { var type = typeof value; return type == 'function' // Use `Function#toString` to bypass the value's own `toString` method // and avoid being faked out. ? reNative.test(fnToString.call(value)) // Fallback to a host object check because some environments will represent // things like typed arrays as DOM methods which may not conform to the // normal native pattern. : (value && type == 'object' && reHostCtor.test(toString.call(value))) || false; } // export however you want module.exports = isNative; }());
