How to detect "url" type in QML/Javascript?

Docs on url

I am passing a QUrl from my C++ code to my javascript code. However, I cannot detect the type

This does not work:

if(obj instanceof url)

This just detects that it is an object:

if(typeof obj === "object")

I need to know if the object is a url type. I am parsing objects in a recursive loop to build a properties list to feed to a model. So I am parsing into objects that contain urls. There are no properties on the url object. It just has a method for converting toString().

And this doesn't work either as javascript objects have a toString method:

if(typeof obj.toString === 'function')

Okay, I have a contextObject with misc functions. I added this for detecting this:

bool UtilFunctions::isUrl(QVariant obj)
{
if(obj.toUrl().isEmpty() || !obj.toUrl().isValid())
return false;
return true;
}

Edit:

bool UtilFunctions::isUrl(QVariant obj)
{
    if(obj.type() != QVariant::Url)
        return false;
    return true;
}

so return obj.type() == QVariant::Url; ;)

@GrecKo Yeah, I changed my copy to that right after. Thanks for updating it!
