Project Details

Node.js is not a programming language but could be considered as a Java Script programming framework, although in reality the definition of framework is not entirely appropriate, as Node.js could be confused with an environment to create a particular type of applications. To be precise, Node.js is a framework / platform for running JavaScript applications
We therefore say that the most appropriate definition would be that of "platform for the execution of JavaScript applications", as we find written on the home page of the official website; in practice it is a JavaScript run-time, therefore a motor for the execution of JavaScript code.

Introduction

I'm glad that on Node.js I have the chance to start a file from scratch and working to complete its translation: in my previous project instead, there were many files partially translated by other users that just had some scatter word or sentence to render and this sometimes need more time and makes your work unpleasant and confused.
As I have already explained, the whole Italian team is working on Node.js and we are processing all the first folder (API) files, following the descending order as much as possible, to give a better translation.

Contribution Specifications

Hi there, today I'm presenting my 14th contribution to the translation of Node.js in Italian. My last work (#13th) didn't fulfill my expectation at all and its quality was much lower than my standards: I'm not superstitious and I was born on Friday the 13th but I'm getting doubtful...I hope it's been just an accident.

I processed around 1320 words to get +1000 clean words; this is the third part of util.md, that is 80% translated so far.
Today I faced a long list of util.types, quite boring because full of repeated concepts and similar sentences to be rewrited carefully.

---

I had some indecision on three strings, regarding technical expressions (bold type), hence I looked for some additional info.
Here you can find the result:

• <0>util.types</0> provides a number of type checks for different kinds of built-in objects.
  

Controllo dei tipi seems the right rendering for this website.

• Unlike <0>instanceof</0> or <0>Object.prototype.toString.call(value)</0>, these checks do not inspect properties of the object that are accessible from JavaScript (like their prototype), and usually have the overhead of calling into C++.

In this case Sovraccarico nel chiamare or Sovraccarico di una chiamata seem to be good choices to be adopted.

• Note that this only reports back what the JavaScript engine is seeing; in particular, the return value may not match the original source code if a transpilation tool was used.

Transpilazione seems the Italian translation accepted.

Translation Overview

util.types.isAsyncFunction(value)

Returns: {boolean}
Returns true if the value is an async function. Note that this only reports back what the JavaScript engine is seeing; in particular, the return value may not match the original source code if a transpilation tool was used.

For example:

util.types.isAsyncFunction(function foo() {}); // Returns false
util.types.isAsyncFunction(async function foo() {}); // Returns true

util.types.isSharedArrayBuffer(value)

Returns: {boolean}
Returns true if the value is a built-in [SharedArrayBuffer][] instance. This does not include [ArrayBuffer][] instances. Usually, it is desirable to test for both; See [util.types.isAnyArrayBuffer()][] for that.

For example:

util.types.isSharedArrayBuffer(new ArrayBuffer()); // Returns false
util.types.isSharedArrayBuffer(new SharedArrayBuffer()); // Returns true
