Criteria

Validation

These packages are capable of validating the data for type correctness.

E.g. if string was expected, but a number was provided, the validator should fail.

Interface

It has a validator function or method that returns a valid type casted value or throws.

const data: any = {}

// `res` is now type casted to the right type
const res = isValid(data)

Or it has a type guard function that in a truthy block type casts the value.

const data: any = {}

function isMyDataValid(data: any) {
  // isValidGuard is the type guard function provided by the package
  if (isValidGuard(data)) {
    // data here is "guarded" and therefore inferred to be of the right type
    return data
  }

  throw new Error('Invalid!')
}

// `res` is now type casted to the right type
const res = isMyDataValid(data)

Local Development

• npm run start - run benchmarks for all modules
• npm run start run zod myzod valita - run benchmarks only for a few selected modules
• npm run docs:serve - result viewer
• npm run test - run tests on all modules

Adding a new node version

• update node version matrix in .github/workflows/pr.yml and .github/workflows/release.yml
• update NODE_VERSIONS in docs/dist/app.tsx and run npm run docs:build
• optionally set NODE_VERSION_FOR_PREVIEW in benchmarks/helpers/main.ts
