Angularjs checking typeof array

Question

I have some data which can be string or array. So if it is a string, I want to display it, and if it is an array, I want to display length of it.

This how data look like: or

Trying to check data type of:

<div class="properties">{{typeof(row.contact)=="object" ? 1 : 2}}</div>//with 1 and 2 its more simplify.

But in both cases it will display 2. Why is it so and how can I fixed it?

P.S.

 {{angular.isArray(value)? 1 : 2}}//result the same

Strings and Arrays in JavaScript are technically an object. You probably want to check if it is an `instanceof` a `String` or `Array` — Hoyen, Jun 22 '17 at 13:58
@Hoyen yes, but operator typeof may return "string" or "object" — kliukovking, Jun 22 '17 at 14:08

Try define in controller

 $scope.isArray = angular.isArray;

then use

  {{isArray(value)? 1 : 2}}//result the same
