## Runtime validation and processing of JavaScript types

- Respects language nature and acknowledges its quirks

- Allows coercion in restricted forms (rejects clearly invalid input, normalizes permissible type deviations)

- No transpilation implied, written to work in all ECMAScript 3+ engines

Validate arguments input in public API endpoints.

_For validation of more sophisticated input structures (as deeply nested configuration objects) it's recommended to consider more powerful schema based utlities (as [AJV](https://ajv.js.org/) or [@hapi/joi](https://hapi.dev/family/joi/))_

Bulletproof input arguments normalization and validation:

const ensureString        = require('type/string/ensure')

    , ensureDate          = require('type/date/ensure')

    , ensureNaturalNumber = require('type/natural-number/ensure')

    , isObject            = require('type/object/is');

module.exports = (path, options = { min: 0 }) {

  path = ensureString(path, { errorMessage: "%v is not a path" });

  const min = ensureNaturalNumber(options.min, { default: 0 })

      , max = ensureNaturalNumber(options.max, { isOptional: true })

      , startTime = ensureDate(options.startTime, { isOptional: true });

Aside of general [`ensure`](docs/ensure.md) validation util, following kind of utilities for recognized JavaScript types are provided:

Restricted coercion into primitive type. Returns coerced value or `null` if value is not coercible per rules.

Object type/kind confirmation, returns either `true` or `false`.

Value validation. Returns input value (in primitive cases possibly coerced) or if value doesn't meet the constraints throws `TypeError` .

Each `*/ensure` utility, accepts following options (eventually passed with second argument):

- `isOptional` - Makes `null` or `undefined` accepted as valid value. In such case instead of `TypeError` being thrown, `null` is returned.

- `default` - A value to be returned if `null` or `undefined` is passed as an input value.

- `errorMessage` - Custom error message. Following placeholders can be used:

  - `%v` - To be replaced with short string representation of invalid value

  - `%n` - To be replaced with meaninfgul name (to be passed with `name` option) of validated value. Not effective if `name` option is not present

- `name` - Meaningful name for validated value, to be used in error message, assuming it contains `%n` placeholder
