📐 Validation and unit conversion errors in TypeScript at compile-time. Started in 2016. Publicised in 2020.
// Install it with `npm i rulr`
import * as rulr from 'rulr'
// Compile-time error.
const positiveNumber1: rulr.PositiveNumber = -1
// Run-time error.
const positiveNumber2 = rulr.positiveNumber(-1)
// Convenient rules and guards like `object`.
const example = rulr.object({
required: {
price: rulr.positiveNumber,
},
})
// Turn rules into types to avoid duplicating information.
type Example = rulr.Static<typeof example>
// Turn rules into guards to avoid duplicating code.
const isExample = rulr.guard(example)
// Use rules and/or guards to guarantee your data is valid.
const myExample: Example = example({ price: 12.34 })
if (isExample(myExample)) {
console.log(myExample.price)
}
To save you some time, Rulr comes with the following rules.
Since it's quite common to want to restrict the size of strings, Rulr comes with some convenient rules for doing just that.
Rulr also comes with a growing list of convenient rules for constraining strings that are mostly built on Chris O'Hara's extensive and much loved validator package.
In addition to the constrained strings, Rulr also comes with a few convenient rules to help you quickly validate non-string values.
Finally, Rulr is starting to provide rules that sanitize inputs from HTTP headers and URL params.
Rulr was started in 2016 and first publicised in 2020. It continues to be maintained to save us time writing validation logic and correcting data by returning as many validation errors as possible in one function call.
Rulr has been influenced by Tom Crockett in RunTypes and more recently Colin McDonnell in Zod. It's hoped that if nothing else, publicising Rulr will influence existing and future validation packages for the better.
