TypeScript utilities for safely parsing and handling structured data using DTOs and parsers for FormData, URLSearchParams, and JSON objects.
A TypeScript utility library for safely parsing and handling structured data from various sources such as FormData
, URLSearchParams
, JSON objects, and more. The Data
class provides a structured way to define Data Transfer Objects (DTOs), while specialized parsers allow for type-safe access to form fields, URL search parameters, and generic objects.
bun add @edgefirst-dev/data
To use the Data
class, import it from the package root:
import { Data } from "@edgefirst-dev/data";
To use the Parser
base class or one of the specialized parsers (FormParser
, SearchParamsParser
, ObjectParser
), import them from the parser
module:
import {
Parser,
FormParser,
SearchParamsParser,
ObjectParser,
} from "@edgefirst-dev/data/parser";
The Data
class is designed to define a set of properties that can be parsed from a source like FormData
, URLSearchParams
, or a JSON object. You subclass Data
to define specific DTOs, using a parser to extract and validate values.
import { Data } from "@edgefirst-dev/data";
import { FormParser } from "@edgefirst-dev/data/parser";
class LoginData extends Data<FormParser> {
get username() {
return this.parser.string("username");
}
get password() {
return this.parser.string("password");
}
}
const formData = new FormData();
formData.append("username", "johndoe");
formData.append("password", "secret");
const loginData = new LoginData(new FormParser(formData));
console.log(loginData.username); // "johndoe"
console.log(loginData.password); // "secret"
The Parser
class is an abstract base class designed for parsing and validating data from structured sources. Specialized parsers extend this class to handle specific data types, ensuring type-safe access to required fields.
FormParser
is a specialized parser that wraps FormData
and provides methods to access form fields in a safe and type-validated way.
import { FormParser } from "@edgefirst-dev/data/parser";
const formData = new FormData();
formData.append("username", "johndoe");
const parser = new FormParser(formData);
console.log(parser.string("username")); // "johndoe"
SearchParamsParser
extracts and validates URL query parameters from a URLSearchParams
object, URL
, Request
, or URL string.
import { SearchParamsParser } from "@edgefirst-dev/data/parser";
const url = new URL("https://example.com/?search=query");
const parser = new SearchParamsParser(url);
console.log(parser.get("search")); // "query"
ObjectParser
safely accesses and validates values within a plain JavaScript object, ensuring type correctness for the retrieved values.
import { ObjectParser } from "@edgefirst-dev/data/parser";
const data = { name: "Alice", age: 30 };
const parser = new ObjectParser(data);
console.log(parser.string("name")); // "Alice"
console.log(parser.number("age")); // 30
All parser classes throw specialized errors when validation fails:
Parser.MissingKeyError
: Thrown when a required key is missing.Parser.InvalidTypeError
: Thrown when a value is not of the expected type.Parser.InvalidInstanceOfError
: Thrown when a value is not an instance of the expected class.Parser.CoercionError
: Thrown when a value cannot be coerced to the expected type.And each one extends the base Parser.Error
class, so you can catch all parser errors with a single instanceof
condition.
import { ObjectParser } from "@edgefirst-dev/data/parser";
try {
const data = { name: "Alice", age: 30 };
const parser = new ObjectParser(data);
console.log(parser.string("email")); // Throws Parser.MissingKeyError
} catch (error) {
if (error instanceof Parser.MissingKeyError) {
// Handle missing key error
}
if (error instanceof Parser.Error) {
// Handle other parser errors
}
throw error; // Re-throw unexpected errors
}
