Lightweight, composable validation and serialization library.

👉 Documentation

What's it for?

Typescript lets you check your own code and nothing more. This library lets you check data flowing in and out of code that is under your control.

Show me the code!

The following code creates a validator for an object then prints the results of a validation.

const myModel = object({
  greeting: text,
  name: text,
  age: optional(integer),
});

const result = myModel(getValueFromSomewhere());

if (result.ok) {
  console.log(value);
} else {
  console.error(result.error);
}

Influences

This project is the evolution of a library I've been using for a few years in my personal and commercial projects.

The design of this project has been influenced by the decoders package which I discovered early in the build. I considered abandoning this project in favour of the latter, but I decided I wanted to build a TypeScript implementation.
