In JavaScript, primitive types include boolean, string, number, BigInt, null, Symbol and undefined. Whereas non-primitive types include the Objects. But you can easily identify them with the below function,
javascript
1var myPrimitive = 30;
2
3var myNonPrimitive = {};
4
5function isPrimitive(val) {
6
7return Object(val) !== val;
8}
9
10isPrimitive(myPrimitive);
11
12isPrimitive(myNonPrimitive);If the value is a primitive data type, the Object constructor creates a new wrapper object for the value. But If the value is a non-primitive data type (an object), the Object constructor will give the same object.
