shapecube v0.1.5

shapecube

add type checks to your javascript functions.

how to build and test

npm test runs all tests. The tests are also a good starting point to look for examples.

npm run build transpiles the es6 files to es5 and runs eslint.

how to use it

First run npm install shapecube and then include shapecube in your project:

import shapecube from "shapecube";

function add(a, b) {
    shapecube.check({Number: a}, {Number: b});

    return a + b;
}

more examples

basic usage

shapecube.check({Number: 1});
shapecube.check({Number: "1"}); // throws an error
shapecube.check({Number: "1", message: "custom error message"}); // throws an error with a custom error message

error handler

shapecube.config({
    errorHandler(err) {
        console.log(err);
    }
});

shapecube.check({Number: "1"}); // logs error to console instead of throwing it

custom types

var newType = shapecube.createType("newType", {a: shapecube.types.Number, b: shapecube.types.Number}, "newType consists of only numbers");

const a = {a: 1, b: "2"};
shapecube.check({newType: a}); // throws "newType consists of only numbers"

shapecube.createType("t", {
    a: "Number",
    b: {
        c: "String",
        t: "Array"
    }
});

shapecube.check({
    t: {
        a: 1,
        b: {
            c:"2",
            t:["2"]
        }
    }
});
