Missing Color type of custom property .

[finscn]

when I set a color-type, I can't check it's type.

the typeof value is object. but the object hasn't any property.

I write a method for detect property type , but it's not good. I hope TIledMap could supply some ways.

    function parseProperties(obj) {
        // const properties = obj.properties()
        const properties = obj.resolvedProperties()
        const p = {}

        for (const key in properties) {
            const value = properties[key]

            const isObject = typeof value === 'object';
            const isString = typeof value === 'string';
            // const isNumber = typeof value === 'number'
            // const isBoolean = typeof value === 'boolean'

            const str = String(value)

            if (isObject && str.indexOf('Tiled::ObjectRef') === 0) {
                // object, but unset
                continue
            }
            if (isObject && str.indexOf('Tiled::EditableMapObject') === 0) {
                // object
                p[key] = {
                    id: value.id,
                    location: ObjectLocation[value.id]
                }
            } else if (isObject && str.indexOf('#') === 0) {
                // color
                p[key] = {
                    color: str
                }
            } else if (isObject && value && !value.url) {
                // file , but unset
                continue
            } else if (isObject && value && value.url) {
                // file
                p[key] = {
                    file: value.url
                }
            } else if (isString && !value) {
                // string , but unset or ""
                continue
            } else {
                // string number boolean
                p[key] = value
            }

            // console.log(key, typeof value, String(value))
        }

        return p
    }

Right, there is no reliable way to get the type of a property in JavaScript. I think I'll need to add a function like tiled.propertyType(value) that returns its type as string.

Though one question is, in case of custom classes or enums, whether this function should return the name of the custom class or enum, or a generic string like "class" or "enum".
