v1.1.0

• New Feature

  • (backport from v2.1) added alias for basic types and changed built-in irreducible names accordingly:

    • String for Str
    • Number for Num
    • Boolean for Bool
    • Array for Arr
    • Object for Obj
    • Function for Func
    • Error for Err
    • RegExp for Re
    • Date for Dat

    This means you can define, for example, a struct with:

    var t = require('tcomb');
    
    var Point = t.struct({
      x: t.Number, // <- new aliases
      y: t.Number
    }, 'Point');

  • better error messages for assert failures in nested structures.

    The messages have the following general form:

    Invalid value <value> supplied to <context>
    

    where context is a slash-separated array with the following properties:

    • the first element is the name of the "root"
    • the following elements have the form: <field name>: <field type>

    Example

    var Person = t.struct({
      name: t.String
    }, 'Person');
    
    var User = t.struct({
      email: t.String,
      profile: Person
    }, 'User');
    
    var mynumber = t.Number('a');
    // => invalid value "a" supplied to Num
    
    var myuser = User({ email: 1 });
    // => Invalid value 1 supplied to User/email: Str
    
    myuser = User({ email: 'email', profile: { name: 2 } });
    // => Invalid value 2 supplied to User/profile: Person/name: Str
