Optimal

A system for building and validating defined object structures, like argument options, configuration files, data bags, validation fields, and more! Runs checks in development and strips checks in production using dead code elimination (should not be used on user input!).

• Recursively builds and validates nested structures.
• Supports common data types.
• Autofills missing fields with default values.
• Allows or restricts unknown fields.
• Mark fields as nullable or required.
• Handles logical operators AND, OR, and XOR.

import optimal, { array, string, number } from 'optimal';

// Pass a partial object and define an explicit blueprint
optimal(
  { name: 'Optimal' },
  {
    name: string().notEmpty(),
    include: array().of(string()),
    exclude: array().of(string()),
    maxSize: number(10000).gte(0),
  },
);

// Which validates, builds, and returns the following object
{
  name: 'Optimal',
  include: [],
  exclude: [],
  maxSize: 10000,
}
