vet

A collection of data validation tools.

major changes in vet 5

version 5 includes several breaking changes from version 4, mostly designed to improve interoperability with TS

  • optional no longer accepts null, just undefined. This is to bring it inline with TypeScript and many other libraries' interpretation of optional values.
  • isShape now converts all T | undefined properties to optional properties in the validator schema type. This eliminates the requirement to explicitly define "optional" properties as undefined.
  • accepts and returns have now been moved from vet/utils to vet/functions, where they should have been in the first place.

in addition, v5 includes:

  • a new isTuple utility

  age: isNumber,
  contact: {
    email: isString,
    phone: isString,
  },
});

// returns true
isPerson({});

// returns true
isPerson({ name: 'John Doe', age: 12 });

// returns true, empty contact still passes
isPerson({ name: 'John Doe', age: 12, contact: { } });

// returns true, partial contact still passes
isPerson({ name: 'John Doe', age: 12, contact: { phone: '00000000' } });
