# Utility Functions
The Redux core exports additional utility functions for reuse.
## `isAction`
Returns true if the parameter is a valid Redux action object (a plain object with a string `type` field).
This also serves as a TypeScript type predicate, which will narrow the TS type to `Action<string>`.
## `isPlainObject`
Returns true if the value appears to be a plain JS object.
