It is ionic..
an ionic compound is composed of cation and anion and by electrostatic attraction force. But after formation cation attracts the electron pair towards itself and cause some deformation of electron density of anion. Thus some covalency arises (Fajans’ Rule).
Above all if the ionic character predominates over covalent character, then we call it ionic., and NaH is ionic.
