type-guard

type-guard performs a runtime check that guarantees the type and value of properties in some scopes.

🚀 Node.js ready for launch.

🚀 Angular ready for launch.

In a Domain Driven Design approach, it is very useful to check constraints on Domain Entity and ValueType properties.

It relies on Tyr to:

Call one of the seven specific Guards like string() or number().
Call chained rule checkers.
Return a GuardResult instance containing the reason for the failure of the guard, or a success.

It also relies on GuardResultBulk to manage multiple Tyr invocations:

Combine and return the first GuardResult instance in failure, or only a GuardResult instance in success.
Stack and return all GuardResult instances in failure, or only a GuardResult instance in success.

const guardResult = Tyr.string().isAlpha().contains('ipsum').hasMaxLength(100).isTrimmed('left').guard("Lorem ipsum");

console.log(guardResult);
// => GuardResult {
//      success: false,
//      propertyName: undefined,
//      message: 'string is expected to only contain basic Latin characters but does not: Lorem ipsum'
//    }

const guardResult = Tyr.number().isMultiple(2).isMultiple(3).isMultiple(4).guard(12);

console.log(guardResult);
// => GuardResult { success: true, propertyName: undefined }

A fast validation returning simply a boolean:

const success = Tyr.number().isBetween(10, 20).isEven().guard(14).isSuccess();

console.log(success);
// => true

A thrown exception with a GuardResult instance message:

const guardResult = Tyr.dateString().isIso8601Date().guard('29-02-2021');
if (!guardResult.isSuccess()) {
    throw new Error(guardResult.getMessage());
}

// =>     throw new Error(guardResult.getMessage());
//     ^
//
// Error: DateStringGuard expected a date string but received: string
// ...

Guard Options

Tyr.array(), Tyr.dateString(), Tyr.number(), and Tyr.string() methods expect an IGuardOptions object optionaly:

export interface IGuardOptions {
    /**
     * A single type of rule, the last called in the chain, is retained by the guard.
     * @defaultValue false
     */
    overrideRule?: boolean;
}

override

overrideRule = false (default)

const stringGuard = Tyr.string({ overrideRule: false }).isTrimmed('right').hasMinLength(2).hasMaxLength(100);

const guardResult1 = stringGuard.contains('dummy').guard('Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text');

console.log(guardResult1);
// => GuardResult { success: true, propertyName: undefined }

const guardResult2 = stringGuard
    .contains('random')
    .guard('Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text');

console.log(guardResult2);
// => GuardResult {
//      success: false,
//      propertyName: undefined,
//      message: 'string is expected to contain dummy but does not: Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text'
//    }

overrideRule = true

const stringGuard = Tyr.string({ overrideRule: true }).isTrimmed('right').hasMinLength(2).hasMaxLength(100);

const guardResult1 = stringGuard.contains('dummy').guard('Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text');

console.log(guardResult1);
// => GuardResult { success: true, propertyName: undefined }

const guardResult2 = stringGuard
    .contains('random')
    .guard('Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text');

console.log(guardResult2);
// => GuardResult { success: true, propertyName: undefined }

Guard Result Options

guard() method expects an IGuardResultOptions object optionaly:

interface IGuardResultOptions {
    propertyName?: string;
    /**
     * The custom message used instead of the default message.
     */
    customMessage?: string;
}

propertyName

const guardResult = Tyr.string().contains('bar').guard('foo', { propertyName: 'prop'});

console.log(guardResult);
// => GuardResult {
//      success: false,
//      propertyName: 'prop',
//      message: 'string is expected to contain bar but does not: foo'
//    }

The message provided by getMessage() method is also automatically prefixed with the name of the property if available:

console.log(guardResult.getMessage());
// => Property prop has failed the guard validation: string is expected to contain bar but does not: foo

customMessage

const guardResult = Tyr.string().contains('bar').guard('foo', { customMessage: 'The input field must contain bar' });

console.log(guardResult);
// => GuardResult {
//      success: false,
//      propertyName: undefined,
//      message: 'The input field must contain bar'
//}

GuardResultBulk

add()

Adds one GuardResult instance in bulk:

const guardResultBulk = new GuardResultBulk().add(Tyr.string().equals('foo').guard('foo'));

Adds multiple GuardResult instances in bulk:

const guardResultBulk = new GuardResultBulk()
                .add([
                    Tyr.string().equals('foo').guard('foo'),
                    Tyr.string().hasMinLength(4).guard('bar'),
                ])

combine()

Returns either the first fail in bulk, or only one success:

const guardResult = new GuardResultBulk()
    .add([
        Tyr.string().equals('foo').guard('foo'),
        Tyr.string().hasMinLength(4).guard('bar'),
        Tyr.number().isBetween(10, 20).isEven().guard(14),
    ])
    .combine();

console.log(guardResult);
// => GuardResult {
//      success: false,
//      propertyName: undefined,
//      message: 'string is expected to have min length of 4 but has length of: 3'
//    }

const guardResult = new GuardResultBulk()
    .add([
        Tyr.string().equals('foo').guard('foo'),
        Tyr.string().hasMinLength(3).guard('bar'),

The true story

Once upon a time there was a forgotten kingdom, lost in the far north, called TypGard 🌈.

This kingdom was populated by two complementary tribes living in harmony: the Backings and the Frontkings. Two other tribes, constantly at war, the Vikings and the Nanokings quarreled in the mountains 🗻, but we will not discuss them in this story ...

The Backings were a people of craftsmen: miners 💎, blacksmiths 🔨, loggers, lumberjacks. The Frontkings were a tribe skilled in the arts, including body painting 🎭 and storytelling 🎻.

After each daily thing ☕, Frontking's skalds often swapped the tale of one or two sagas against the essential goods produced by the Backings.

And all this little small world lived in cooperation and peace, until the day, when curious foreigners from the south, tried to sow trouble, and divide this beautiful and well-ordered kingdom 🐍. The northerners, not understanding their language, decided to simply name these invaders the sons of Julius, or Jsøns in Old Nordic language.

The Jsøns were devious and manipulative, and the Northerners never knew if they were telling them the truth .

Fortunately, they could rely on Tyr, the deity of order and law, to gauge each suspected Jsøn, and validate his claims.

Tyr was accompanied by seven guards, each representing an aspect of the order ...
