Description

Compares types of all elements of input array to types of all elements of template array. Similar to isEqualTypeArray however this command is designed for fast validation of functions params, so there are differences:

Input can be anything but will be expected to be an Array, otherwise false is returned
Input array can be longer but not shorter than template array, will return false if shorter
nil could be used in template type array as a wild card to allow any type match

Syntax

input isEqualTypeParams template

Parameters:

input: Anything - could be value of any type, but only type Array will be validated
template: Array of Anything - array of expected types

Returns: Boolean
