Options-Checker

Check types and pass default values for objects

Installing

options-checker can be used both in node and browsers

Node

First install it with NPM

npm i @ceicc/options-checker

import optionsChecker from "@ceicc/options-checker"

// can be imported using CommonJS syntax
// const optionsChecker = require("@ceicc/options-checker")

Browser

<script defer src="https://unpkg.com/@ceicc/options-checker@^1"></script>

Usage Example

Most useful place would be for checking options arguments

const fs = require("fs/promises"),
      optionsChecker = require('./index')


function createFile(path, opts = {}) {
  if (typeof path !== "string") throw TypeError("path argument should be string")

  optionsChecker(opts, {
    data: { default: "",          type: "string|number" },
    cb:   { default: console.log, type: "function"      }
  })

  fs.writeFile(path, opts.data).then(opts.cb)
}

createFile('./test.txt', { data: "Hello World" })

You don't need re-assign opts because javascript passes objects by refrence.

The default value can be discarded, and optionsChecker will only do type checking.

Any value that it's not specified in the config object or failed type checking and doesn't have default value will be deleted.

Arguments

1. opts The object to check against
2. config The configuration object that holds the types and default values.

The key in config object would be the name of the value to check against in the opts object, and the value of this key would be an object with those two keys:

• default - the default value to fall on
• type - pipe seperated list of accepted types. e.g.: "string|boolean"
