{% set test_var = craft.entries %}

{% if test_var is of_type('object') %}
  true
{% endif %}

Check if a variable is an array of a specific class.

TODO: This currently only checks for a certain class, extend this to check for arrays of other types as well.

{% set test_var = craft.entries.section("Things").find() %}

{% if test_var is of_type('array_of', 'Craft\\EntryModel) %}
  true
{% endif %}

Available Tests:

array
bool
class
float
int
numeric
object
scalar
string
array_of true if the var is an array and the first entry (as returned by array_shift) is of the specified class

Return the type of a variable.

{% set test_var = craft.entries %}

{{ test_var|get_type }}

will output: object

Alias for php's gettype()

{% set test_var = craft.entries.section("Things").find() %}
