type

Runtime validation and processing of JavaScript types

• Respects language nature and acknowledges its quirks
• Allows coercion in restricted forms (rejects clearly invalid input, normalizes permissible type deviations)
• No transpilation implied, written to work in all ECMAScript 3+ engines

Example usage

Bulletproof input arguments normalization and validation:

const ensureString        = require('type/string/ensure')
    , ensureDate          = require('type/date/ensure')
    , ensureNaturalNumber = require('type/natural-number/ensure')
    , isObject            = require('type/object/is');

module.exports = (path, options = { min: 0 }) {
  path = ensureString(path, { errorMessage: "%v is not a path" });
  if (!isObject(options)) options = {};
  const min = ensureNaturalNumber(options.min, { default: 0 })
      , max = ensureNaturalNumber(options.max, { isOptional: true })
      , startTime = ensureDate(options.startTime, { isOptional: true });

  // ...logic
};

Installation

npm install type

Utilities

Serves following kind of utilities:

*/coerce

Restricted coercion into primitive type. Returns coerced value or null if value is not coercible per rules.

*/is

Object type/kind confirmation, returns either true or false.

*/ensure

Value validation. Returns input value (in primitive cases possibly coerced) or if value doesn't meet the constraints throws TypeError .

Each */ensure utility, accepts following options (eventually passed with second argument):

• isOptional - Makes null or undefined accepted as valid value. In such case instead of TypeError being thrown, null is returned.
• default - A value to be returned if null or undefined is passed as an input value.
• errorMessage - Custom error message (%v can be used as a placeholder for input value)

---

value/is

Confirms whether passed argument is a value
