Package Exports

handy-types

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (handy-types) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Handy-Types

A small library to check variable types. It consists of many utility functions like int, positive_int, array, non_empty_array and many more. Every type(function) has their fullname in case you want to write a meaningful error message. The library is fully tested so it has 100% test coverage. It uses the UMD module system so it supports every javascript environment.

Example

const { types, typeNames } = require("handy-types");
// Or: import { types, typeNames } from "handy-types";

const user = {};

if(!types.ne_object(obj)) // or use the fullname: types.non_empty_object(obj)
  throw new Error(`"user" must be of type "${typeNames.ne_object}"`);
