typedot

A Proof of Concept

I've been playing around with JS to try and find the most elegant way to do type checking through Express middleware.

I like this format, but its farrr from something that you should use.

An Example

Take this route in Express:

app.get('/:id',function(req,res){
  return res.sendStatus(200)
})

If you want to assert that req.params.id should be an integer, you'd add type.int('params.id') as middleware.

Here's what the resulting route would look like:

app.get('/:id',type.int('params.something.id'),function(req,res){
  return res.sendStatus(200)
})

Moving Forward

Here's what I'd like to add soon-ish:

• More types to check
• Tests
• Support for custom types
• Documentation
• Published examples
