how to make alert for circle shape

[skillful_WhirlwindB82C]

 i know how to get  kind of solid layer  

if(_layers[i].kind == LayerKind.SOLIDFILL){
  alert("rectangle");
}

but what`s the kind of ellipse (circle shape) i need to make it in alert and thanks for you

Unless I am missing something, whether you are adding a solid fill layer or a shape via one of the shape tools, the layer kind is still a LayerKind.SOLIDFILL layer kind.

Perhaps there is a way to get live shape properties or to do complicated math based on vector path co-ordinates...

This script will test to see if the first anchor point is a corner or rounded, so it will tell if the shapes are possibly a rectangle or an ellipse.

#target photoshop
var doc = activeDocument;
var layPath = doc.pathItems[0].subPathItems[0];
$.writeln(layPath.pathPoints[0].anchor+'===='+layPath.pathPoints[0].leftDirection)

if((layPath.pathPoints[0].anchor[0]===layPath.pathPoints[0].leftDirection[0])&&(layPath.pathPoints[0].anchor[1]===layPath.pathPoints[0].leftDirection[1])){
    alert('Shape could be rectangle')
    }
else{alert('Shape could be an ellipse')}

Also  if the layer bounds does not have a 1:1 Aspect ratio the layers is not a square or a circle.

I also do not know if all solid fill layers are Shape Layers or that all Shape layers are solid fill layers for shapes can have no fill, a gradient fill and a pattern fill as well.

I also do not know Action manager code and when you get layer descriptions using Action manager code the code seems to have a different  layerKind  list than DOM LayerKind.  Its list seem to be like the Layers Palette Kind Filter (Pixel, Adjustment, Text, Shape and Smart Object)  + three fill type (Colorfill, Patternfill and Gradientfill) I had map Action Manager layerKind integers different the DOM LayerKind integers.
