Usage

For complete usages, please dive into our documentation

Basic usage

Creating a simple string schema

import { s } from '@sapphire/shapeshift';

const mySchema = s.string;

// Parse
mySchema.parse('sapphire'); // => returns 'sapphire'
mySchema.parse(12); // throws ValidationError

Creating an object schema

import { s } from '@sapphire/shapeshift';

const user = s.object({
    username: s.string
});

user.parse({ username: 'Sapphire' });

Defining schemas

Primitives

import { s } from '@sapphire/shapeshift';

// Primitives
s.string;
s.number;
s.bigint;
s.boolean;
s.date;

// Empty Types
s.undefined;
s.null;
s.nullish; // Accepts undefined | null

// Catch-all Types
s.any;
s.unknown;

// Never Type
s.never;

Literals

s.literal('sapphire');
s.literal(12);
s.literal(420n);
s.literal(true);
s.literal(new Date(1639278160000)); // s.date.eq(1639278160000);

Strings

ShapeShift includes a handful of string-specific validations:

s.string.lengthLt(5);
s.string.lengthLe(5);
s.string.lengthGt(5);
s.string.lengthGe(5);
s.string.lengthEq(5);
s.string.lengthNe(5);
s.string.email;
s.string.url();
s.string.uuid();
s.string.regex(regex);
s.string.ip();
s.string.ipv4;
s.string.ipv6;

Numbers

ShapeShift includes a handful of number-specific validations:

s.number.gt(5); // > 5
s.number.ge(5); // >= 5
s.number.lt(5); // < 5
s.number.le(5); // <= 5
s.number.eq(5); // === 5
s.number.ne(5); // !== 5

s.number.eq(NaN); // special case: Number.isNaN
s.number.ne(NaN); // special case: !Number.isNaN

s.number.int; // value must be an integer
s.number.safeInt; // value must be a safe integer
s.number.finite; // value must be finite

s.number.positive; // .ge(0)
s.number.negative; // .lt(0)

s.number.divisibleBy(5); // Divisible by 5

And transformations:

s.number.abs; // Transforms the number to an absolute number
s.number.sign; // Gets the number's sign

s.number.trunc; // Transforms the number to the result of `Math.trunc`
s.number.floor; // Transforms the number to the result of `Math.floor`
s.number.fround; // Transforms the number to the result of `Math.fround`
s.number.round; // Transforms the number to the result of `Math.round`
s.number.ceil; // Transforms the number to the result of `Math.ceil`

BigInts

ShapeShift includes a handful of number-specific validations:

s.bigint.gt(5n); // > 5n
s.bigint.ge(5n); // >= 5n
s.bigint.lt(5n); // < 5n
s.bigint.le(5n); // <= 5n
s.bigint.eq(5n); // === 5n
s.bigint.ne(5n); // !== 5n

s.bigint.positive; // .ge(0n)
s.bigint.negative; // .lt(0n)

s.bigint.divisibleBy(5n); // Divisible by 5n

And transformations:

s.bigint.abs; // Transforms the bigint to an absolute bigint

s.bigint.intN(5); // Clamps to a bigint to a signed bigint with 5 digits, see BigInt.asIntN
s.bigint.uintN(5); // Clamps to a bigint to an unsigned bigint with 5 digits, see BigInt.asUintN

Booleans

ShapeShift includes a few boolean-specific validations:

s.boolean.true; // value must be true
s.boolean.false; // value must be false

s.boolean.eq(true); // s.boolean.true
s.boolean.eq(false); // s.boolean.false

s.boolean.ne(true); // s.boolean.false
s.boolean.ne(false); // s.boolean.true

Arrays

const stringArray = s.array(s.string);
const stringArray = s.string.array;

ShapeShift includes a handful of array-specific validations:

s.string.array.lengthLt(5); // Must have less than 5 elements
s.string.array.lengthLe(5); // Must have 5 or less elements
s.string.array.lengthGt(5); // Must have more than 5 elements
s.string.array.lengthGe(5); // Must have 5 or more elements
s.string.array.lengthEq(5); // Must have exactly 5 elements
s.string.array.lengthNe(5); // Must not have exactly 5 elements
s.string.array.lengthRange(0, 4); // Must have at least 0 elements and less than 4 elements (in math, that is [0, 4))
s.string.array.lengthRangeInclusive(0, 4); // Must have at least 0 elements and at most 4 elements (in math, that is [0, 4])
s.string.array.lengthRangeExclusive(0, 4); // Must have more than 0 element and less than 4 elements (in math, that is (0, 4))

Note: All .length methods define tuple types with the given amount of elements. For example, s.string.array.lengthGe(2)'s inferred type is [string, string, ...string[]]

Tuples

Unlike arrays, tuples have a fixed number of elements and each element can have a different type:

const dish = s.tuple([
    s.string, // Dish's name
    s.number.int, // Table's number
    s.date // Date the dish was ready for delivery
]);

dish.parse(['Iberian ham', 10, new Date()]);

Objects

// Properties are required by default:
const animal = s.object({
    name: s.string,
    age: s.number
});

`.extend`:

You can add additional fields using either an object or an ObjectValidator, in this case, you will get a new object validator with the merged properties:

const pet = animal.extend({
    owner: s.string.nullish
});

const pet = animal.extend(
    s.object({
        owner: s.string.nullish
    })
);

If both schemas share keys, an error will be thrown. Please use .omit on the first object if you desire this behaviour.

`.pick` / `.omit`:

Inspired by TypeScript's built-in Pick and Omit utility types, all object schemas have the aforementioned methods that return a modifier version:

const pkg = s.object({
    name: s.string,
    description: s.string,
    dependencies: s.string.array
});

const justTheName = pkg.pick(['name']);
// s.object({ name: s.string });

const noDependencies = pkg.omit(['dependencies']);
// s.object({ name: s.string, description: s.string });

`.partial`

Inspired by TypeScript's built-in Partial utility type, all object schemas have the aforementioned method that makes all properties optional:

const user = s.object({
    username: s.string,
    password: s.string
}).partial;

Which is the same as doing:

const user = s.object({
    username: s.string.optional,
    password: s.string.optional
});

Unrecognized keys

By default, ShapeShift will not include keys that are not defined by the schema during parsing:

const person = s.object({
    framework: s.string
});

person.parse({
    framework: 'Sapphire',
    awesome: true
});
// => { name: 'Sapphire' }

`.strict`

You can disallow unknown keys with .strict. If the input includes any unknown keys, an error will be thrown.

const person = s.object({
    framework: s.string
}).strict;

person.parse({
    framework: 'Sapphire',
    awesome: true
});
// => throws ValidationError

`.ignore`

You can use the .ignore getter to reset an object schema to the default behaviour (ignoring unrecognized keys).

`.passthrough`

You can use the .passthrough getter to make the validator add the unrecognized properties the shape does not have, from the input.

Records

Record schemas are similar to objects, but validate Record<string, T> types, keep in mind this does not check for the keys, and cannot support validation for specific ones:

const tags = s.record(s.string);

tags.parse({ foo: 'bar', hello: 'world' }); // => { foo: 'bar', hello: 'world' }
tags.parse({ foo: 42 }); // => throws CombinedError
tags.parse('Hello'); // => throws ValidateError

Unions

ShapeShift includes a built-in method for composing OR types:

const stringOrNumber = s.union(s.string, s.number);

stringOrNumber.parse('Sapphire'); // => 'Sapphire'
stringOrNumber.parse(42); // => 42
stringOrNumber.parse({}); // => throws CombinedError

Enums

Enums are a convenience method that aliases s.union(s.literal(a), s.literal(b), ...):

s.enum('Red', 'Green', 'Blue');
// s.union(s.literal('Red'), s.literal('Green'), s.literal('Blue'));

Maps

const map = s.map(s.string, s.number);
// Map<string, number>

Sets

const set = s.set(s.number);
// Set<number>

Instances

You can use s.instance(Class) to check that the input is an instance of a class. This is useful to validate inputs against classes:

class User {
    public constructor(public name: string) {}
}

const schema = s.instance(User);
schema.parse(new User('Sapphire')); // => User { name: 'Sapphire' }
schema.parse('oops' as any); // => throws ValidatorError

Function validation is not yet implemented and will be made available starting v2.1.0

Functions // TODO

You can define function schemas. This checks for whether or not an input is a function:

s.function; // () => unknown

You can define arguments by passing an array as the first argument, as well as the return type as the second:

s.function([s.string]); // (arg0: string) => unknown
s.function([s.string, s.number], s.string); // (arg0: string, arg1: number) => string

Note: ShapeShift will transform the given function into one with validation on arguments and output. You can access the .raw property of the function to get the unchecked function.

TypedArray

const typedArray = s.typedArray();
const int16Array = s.int16Array;
const uint16Array = s.uint16Array;
const uint8ClampedArray = s.uint8ClampedArray;
const int16Array = s.int16Array;
const uint16Array = s.uint16Array;
const int32Array = s.int32Array;
const uint32Array = s.uint32Array;
const float32Array = s.float32Array;
const float64Array = s.float64Array;
const bigInt64Array = s.bigInt64Array;
const bigUint64Array = s.bigUint64Array;

ShapeShift includes a handful of validations specific to typed arrays.

s.typedArray().lengthLt(5); // Length must be less than 5
s.typedArray().lengthLe(5); // Length must be 5 or less
s.typedArray().lengthGt(5); // Length must be more than 5
s.typedArray().lengthGe(5); // Length must be 5 or more
s.typedArray().lengthEq(5); // Length must be exactly 5
s.typedArray().lengthNe(5); // Length must not be 5
s.typedArray().lengthRange(0, 4); // Length L must satisfy 0 <= L < 4
s.typedArray().lengthRangeInclusive(0, 4); // Length L must satisfy 0 <= L <= 4
s.typedArray().lengthRangeExclusive(0, 4); // Length L must satisfy 0 < L < 4

Note that all of these methods have analogous methods for working with the typed array's byte length, s.typedArray().byteLengthX() - for instance, s.typedArray().byteLengthLt(5) is the same as s.typedArray().lengthLt(5) but for the array's byte length.

BaseValidator: methods and properties

All schemas in ShapeShift contain certain methods.

.run(data: unknown): Result<T, Error>: given a schema, you can call this method to check whether or not the input is valid. If it is, a Result with success: true and a deep-cloned value will be returned with the given constraints and transformations. Otherwise, a Result with success: false and an error is returned.

.parse(data: unknown): T: given a schema, you can call this method to check whether or not the input is valid. If it is, a deep-cloned value will be returned with the given constraints and transformations. Otherwise, an error is thrown.

.transform<R>((value: T) => R): NopValidator<R>: adds a constraint that modifies the input:

import { s } from '@sapphire/shapeshift';

const getLength = s.string.transform((value) => value.length);
getLength.parse('Hello There'); // => 11

Reshape is not yet implemented and will be made available starting v2.1.0

⚠️ .transform's functions must not throw. If a validation error is desired to be thrown, .reshape instead.

.reshape<R>((value: T) => Result<R, Error> | IConstraint): NopValidator<R>: adds a constraint able to both validate and modify the input:

import { s, Result } from '@sapphire/shapeshift';

const getLength = s.string.reshape((value) => Result.ok(value.length)); // TODO
getLength.parse('Hello There'); // => 11

⚠️ .reshape's functions must not throw. If a validation error is desired to be thrown, use Result.err(error) instead.

.default(value: T | (() => T)): transform undefined into the given value or the callback's returned value:

const name = s.string.default('Sapphire');
name.parse('Hello'); // => 'Hello'
name.parse(undefined); // => 'Sapphire'

const number = s.number.default(Math.random);
number.parse(12); // => 12
number.parse(undefined); // => 0.989911985608602
number.parse(undefined); // => 0.3224350185068794

⚠️ The default values are not validated.

.optional: a convenience method that returns a union of the type with s.undefined.

s.string.optional; // s.union(s.string, s.undefined)

.nullable: a convenience method that returns a union of the type with s.nullable.

s.string.nullable; // s.union(s.string, s.nullable)

.nullish: a convenience method that returns a union of the type with s.nullish.

s.string.nullish; // s.union(s.string, s.nullish)

.array: a convenience method that returns an ArrayValidator with the type.

s.string.array; // s.array(s.string)

.or: a convenience method that returns an UnionValidator with the type. This method is also overridden in UnionValidator to just append one more entry.

s.string.or(s.number);
// => s.union(s.string, s.number)

s.object({ name: s.string }).or(s.string, s.number);
// => s.union(s.object({ name: s.string }), s.string, s.number)
