Verify

This is a project started because I wanted a way to streamline error checking & throwing a custom error with built in html status codes. In a way where it can be chained

// example
const target = 'string'
Verify(target).isString()
Verify(target).isNumber() // will throw an ErrorException. 
/* ErrorException:
    message: 'string must be a number',
    statusCode: 400,
*/

Features

Checks done by Verify

Base Check
- isDefined - null/undefined
Types
- isString
- isNumber
- isInt
- isBoolean
- isArray
Comparison
- isEquals ===
- isGT >
- isGTE >=
- isLT <
- isLTE <=
ErrorException
- standard error messages per type/comparison Check
- default 400 statusCode (can be changed)

Example

import Verify from 'verify';

checking for a number & the properties in Verify

const numberVerify = Verify('1', { name: 'number test' }).isNumber();
const { value, type, error, failed, steps, verifiedNumber, compared } = numberVerify;
// value = 'string'
// type = 'string'
// error = false
// failed = false
// steps = func
// steps('isDefined') = true
// steps('isString') = true
// steps() = Map(2) { 'isDefined' => true, 'isString' => true }
// verifiedNumber = BigJS -> changes when .isNumber() is chained
// compare = null -> will change when a comparison is chained
numberVerify.isGT(0);
// steps() = Map(3) { 'isDefined' => true, 'isNumber' => true, 'isGT' => true }
// compare = 0
numberVerify.isLTE(0); // throws an ErrorException
/* ErrorException:
    message: number test must be <= 0
    statusCode: 400
*/

Documentation

let's walk through the app! \ all of the options are -- optional :)

Initial

Verify(value, options)

value: any = object to be verified\ options: object = initial options for Verify

options = {
  soft: boolean,
  missing: string,
  status: number,
  name: string,
}

soft - will not throw an error

for the cases when you do want to check or maybe debug
the error, failed booleans & steps function will come in handy! missing - when value evaluates as null/undefined, this will be the error message \
by default it is "missing value" status - html error code MDN, GO \ name - if you want to name the value, by default it will be the value itself

TypeCheck

Verify()
    .isNumber(options)
    .isInt(options)
    .isString(options)
    .isBoolean(options)
    .isArray(options)

for these options it will affect the typecheck chaining

options = {
    message: string,
    status: number,
}

message - this will be the error message

by default it is "value must be a(n) type" status - this will be the HTML error status code

Comparison

note, isEquals does not support deep array or object comparisons (yet, maybe). \ this is a VERY basic equals.

-- chain
  .isEquals(compare, options)

must have isNumber() chained prior to use these. \ leverages BigJs

-- chain
  .isGT(compare, options)
  .isGTE(compare, options)
  .isLT(compare, options)
  .isLTE(compare, options)

compare - object to compare against value

options = {
    message: string,
    status: number,
    compareName: string,
}

message - this will be the error message

by default it is "value must be operator type"
operator could be >, >=, <, <= status - this will be the HTML error status code \ compareName - name of the compare object
