## to-primitive-x Converts a JavaScript object to a primitive value. ### `module.exports(input, [prefferedtype])` ⇒ string \| number ⏏ This method converts a JavaScript object to a primitive value. Note: When toPrimitive is called with no hint, then it generally behaves as if the hint were Number. However, objects may over-ride this behaviour by defining a @@toPrimitive method. Of the objects defined in this specification only Date objects (see 20.3.4.45) and Symbol objects (see 19.4.3.4) over-ride the default ToPrimitive behaviour. Date objects treat no hint as if the hint were String. **Kind**: Exported function **Returns**: string \| number - The converted input as a primitive. **Throws**: - TypeError If unable to convert input to a primitive. | Param | Type | Description | | --------------- | ------------------------ | -------------------------------------- | | input | \* | The input to convert. | | [prefferedtype] | constructor | The preffered type (String or Number). | **Example** ```js import toPrimitive from 'to-primitive-x'; const date = new Date(0); console.log(toPrimitive(date)); // Thu Jan 01 1970 01:00:00 GMT+0100 (CET) console.log(toPrimitive(date, String)); // Thu Jan 01 1970 01:00:00 GMT+0100 (CET) console.log(toPrimitive(date, Number)); // 0 ```
