The Unpaid Backbone of Open Source: Solo Maintainers Face Increasing Security Demands
Solo open source maintainers face burnout and security challenges, with 60% unpaid and 60% considering quitting.
Anchor is a JavaScript library that lets you enforce high-level validation rules. It is used in Waterline and Sails to complement the type safety imposed by rttc.
This makes it really useful for things like:
Adds support for strongly typed arguments, like http://lea.verou.me/2011/05/strongly-typed-javascript/, but goes a step further by adding support for array and object sub-validation. It's also the core validation rule library for the Sails ecosystem.
(Built on top of the great work with https://github.com/chriso/validator.js)
For the browser:
<script type='text/javscript' src="/js/anchor.js"></script>
For Node.js:
npm install anchor
var anchor = require('anchor');
The up-to-date documentation for high-level anchor validation rules is maintained on the Sails framework website.
You can find a detailed reference of all validation rules under Concepts > Models & ORM > Validations. For more details on standalone usage, see the source code in this repo.
