> Function argument validation for humans
|
|
|
|
## Highlights
|
|
|
|
- Expressive chainable API
|
|
- Lots of built-in validations
|
|
- Supports custom validations
|
|
- Automatic label inference in Node.js
|
|
- Written in TypeScript
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ npm install ow
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
*If you use CommonJS, you need to import is as `const {default: ow} = require('ow')`.*
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
import ow from 'ow';
|
|
|
|
const unicorn = input => {
|
|
ow(input, ow.string.minLength(5));
|
|
|
|
// …
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
unicorn(3);
|
|
//=> ArgumentError: Expected `input` to be of type `string` but received type `number`
|
|
|
|
unicorn('yo');
|
|
//=> ArgumentError: Expected string `input` to have a minimum length of `5`, got `yo`
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We can also match the shape of an object.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
import ow from 'ow';
|
|
|
|
const unicorn = {
|
|
rainbow: '🌈',
|
|
stars: {
|
|
value: '🌟'
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
ow(unicorn, ow.object.exactShape({
|
|
rainbow: ow.string,
|
|
stars: {
|
|
value: ow.number
|
|
}
|
|
}));
|
|
//=> ArgumentError: Expected property `stars.value` to be of type `number` but received type `string` in object `unicorn`
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
***Note:*** If you intend on using `ow` for development purposes only, use `require('ow/dev-only')` instead of the usual `import 'ow'`, and run the bundler with `NODE_ENV` set to `production` (e.g. `$ NODE_ENV="production" parcel build index.js`). This will make `ow` automatically export a shim when running in production, which should result in a significantly lower bundle size.

|
## API
|
|
|
|
[Complete API documentation](https://sindresorhus.com/ow/interfaces/ow.html)
|
|
|
|
Ow includes TypeScript type guards, so using it will narrow the type of previously-unknown values.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
function (input: unknown) {
|
|
input.slice(0, 3) // Error, Property 'slice' does not exist on type 'unknown'
|
|
|
|
ow(input, ow.string)
|
|
|
|
input.slice(0, 3) // OK
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### ow(value, predicate)
|
|
|
|
Test if `value` matches the provided `predicate`. Throws an `ArgumentError` if the test fails.
|
|
|
|
### ow(value, label, predicate)
|
|
|
|
Test if `value` matches the provided `predicate`. Throws an `ArgumentError` with the specified `label` if the test fails.
|
|
|
|
The `label` is automatically inferred in Node.js but you can override it by passing in a value for `label`. The automatic label inference doesn't work in the browser.
|
|
|
|
### ow.isValid(value, predicate)
|
|
|
|
Returns `true` if the value matches the predicate, otherwise returns `false`.
|
|
|
|
### ow.create(predicate)
|
|
|
|
Create a reusable validator.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const checkPassword = ow.create(ow.string.minLength(6));
|
|
|
|
const password = 'foo';
|
|
|
|
checkPassword(password);
|
|
//=> ArgumentError: Expected string `password` to have a minimum length of `6`, got `foo`
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### ow.create(label, predicate)
|
|
|
|
Create a reusable validator with a specific `label`.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const checkPassword = ow.create('password', ow.string.minLength(6));
|
|
|
|
checkPassword('foo');
|
|
//=> ArgumentError: Expected string `password` to have a minimum length of `6`, got `foo`
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### ow.any(...predicate[])
|
|
|
|
Returns a predicate that verifies if the value matches at least one of the given predicates.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
ow('foo', ow.any(ow.string.maxLength(3), ow.number));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### ow.optional.{type}
|
|
|
|
Makes the predicate optional. An optional predicate means that it doesn't fail if the value is `undefined`.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
ow(1, ow.optional.number);
|
|
|
|
ow(undefined, ow.optional.number);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### ow.{type}
|
|
|
|
All the below types return a predicate. Every predicate has some extra operators that you can use to test the value even more fine-grained.

### Predicates
|
|
|
|
The following predicates are available on every type.
|
|
|
|
#### not
|
|
|
|
Inverts the following predicate.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
ow(1, ow.number.not.infinite);
|
|
|
|
ow('', ow.string.not.empty);
|
|
//=> ArgumentError: Expected string to not be empty, got ``
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### is(fn)
|
|
|
|
Use a custom validation function. Return `true` if the value matches the validation, return `false` if it doesn't.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
ow(1, ow.number.is(x => x < 10));
|
|
|
|
ow(1, ow.number.is(x => x > 10));
|
|
//=> ArgumentError: Expected `1` to pass custom validation function
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Instead of returning `false`, you can also return a custom error message which results in a failure.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const greaterThan = (max: number, x: number) => {
|
|
return x > max || `Expected \`${x}\` to be greater than \`${max}\``;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
ow(5, ow.number.is(x => greaterThan(10, x)));
|
|
//=> ArgumentError: Expected `5` to be greater than `10`
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### validate(fn)
|
|
|
|
Use a custom validation object. The difference with `is` is that the function should return a validation object, which allows more flexibility.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
ow(1, ow.number.validate(value => ({
|
|
validator: value > 10,
|
|
message: `Expected value to be greater than 10, got ${value}`
|
|
})));
|
|
//=> ArgumentError: (number) Expected value to be greater than 10, got 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also pass in a function as `message` value which accepts the label as argument.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
ow(1, 'input', ow.number.validate(value => ({
|
|
validator: value > 10,
|
|
message: label => `Expected ${label} to be greater than 10, got ${value}`
|
|
})));
|
|
//=> ArgumentError: Expected number `input` to be greater than 10, got 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### message(string | fn)
|
|
|
|
Provide a custom message:
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
ow('🌈', 'unicorn', ow.string.equals('🦄').message('Expected unicorn, got rainbow'));
|
|
//=> ArgumentError: Expected unicorn, got rainbow
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also pass in a function which receives the value as the first parameter and the label as the second parameter and is expected to return the message.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
ow('🌈', ow.string.minLength(5).message((value, label) => `Expected ${label}, to have a minimum length of 5, got \`${value}\``));
|
|
//=> ArgumentError: Expected string, to be have a minimum length of 5, got `🌈`
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It's also possible to add a separate message per validation:
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
ow(
|
|
'1234',
|
|
ow.string
|
|
.minLength(5).message((value, label) => `Expected ${label}, to be have a minimum length of 5, got \`${value}\``)
|
|
.url.message('This is no url')
|
|
);
|
|
//=> ArgumentError: Expected string, to be have a minimum length of 5, got `1234`
|
|
|
|
ow(
|
|
'12345',
|
|
ow.string
|
|
.minLength(5).message((value, label) => `Expected ${label}, to be have a minimum length of 5, got \`${value}\``)
|
|
.url.message('This is no url')
|
|
);
|
|
//=> ArgumentError: This is no url
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This can be useful for creating your own reusable validators which can be extracted to a separate npm package.
