Add a function which checks if X is a service

At the moment, it's very tedious to identify that is and isn't a Roblox service. It may more sense to add some form of functionality which confirms if that's the case or not. Some possible examples:

• bool :IsAService()
• string :IsA() -> "Service"

Not sure what's the best method but feels like a decent addition.

What are you looking to use this for? There isn't an API like this in Roblox itself, but maybe there should be if you have a great use case.

Primarily I'm working using Remodel to port over a game to a fully managed Rojo workflow.

So searching through a file and converting it over to the file formats required to then rebuild for upload to Roblox. Standard stuff.

The main issue is just being sure that an instance is a service or not to create the relevant folders rather than it convert to a something unintentional.

While typically checking if X's parent is the data model and if the ClassName and Name is the same, covers most of them. It feels very hacky and could be broken by Roblox, see TeleportService and RunService.

There's no API for this in Roblox because I don't expect any devs to be searching through Roblox's file format to find it something is a service, it doesn't make sense on the platform.

Maybe if IsA identified as a service on Roblox would make sense.

I could see IsA being done for Remodel.
