+## Type assertions
+
+The type guards are also available as [typescript assertions](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/release-notes/typescript-3-7.html#assertion-functions), which throw an error for unexpected types. It is a convenient one-line version of the often repetitive "if-not-expected-type-throw" pattern.
+
+```ts
+import {assert} from '@sindresorhus/is';
+
+const handleMovieRatingApiResponse = (response: unknown) => {
+	assert.plainObject(response);
+	// `response` is typed as a plain `object` with `unknown` properties
+	assert.number(response.rating);
+	// `response.rating` is typed as a `number`
+	assert.string(response.title);
+	// `response.title` is typed as a `string`
+
+	return `${response.title} (${response.rating * 10})`;
+};
+
+handleMovieRatingApiResponse({rating: 0.87, title: 'The Matrix'});
+//=> 'The Matrix (8.7)'
