assert-kindof

Check native type of value and throw AssertionError if not okey. Clean stack traces. Simplicity. Built on is-kindof.

You might also be interested in kind-of-extra.

Highlights

• simplicity: pretty simple and stable codebase, built on kind-of and kind-of-extra
• flexibility: expose methods for each javascript type, using kind-of-types
• better coverage: ensures that your code will not have many branches
• clean stack traces: clean and small stack traces, using clean-stacktrace
• type checking: exposes is-kindof methods for returning booleans
• negations: support "not" modifier, e.g. is.not.array(val)
• errors: enhanced error objects with actual, expected, operator and value props
• messages: customizable and clean error messages

Install

Install with npm

$ npm install assert-kindof --save

or install using yarn

$ yarn add assert-kindof

Usage

For more use-cases see the tests

const assertKindof = require('assert-kindof')

API

.is

All methods from is-kindof are also exposed, so check its docs. That .is is object with methods with same names as in this package.

Example

var assertKindof = require('assert-kindof')

assertKindof.is.array(123) // => false
assertKindof.is.array([11, 22, 33]) // => true

assertKindof.array([11, 22, 33]) // => not throws

try {
  assertKindof.array(123) // => AssertionError: number !== array
} catch (err) {
  console.log(err.message) // => 'number !== array'
}

.array

Check value is array, if not throws AssertionError.

Params

• value {any}: value to be checked
• message {String|Function}: error message; if function gets fn(actual, expected, value) signature
• returns {Undefined}: nothing is returned, throws if not okey

Example

var assert = require('assert-kindof')
assert.array([1, 2, 3]) // => not throws
assert.array(123) // => AssertionError: number !== array

try {
  assert.array({ foo: 'bar' }, 'expect `val` to be {expected}')
} catch (err) {
  console.log(err.message) // => 'expect `val` to be array'
  console.log(err.actual) // => object
  console.log(err.expected) // => array
  console.log(err.value) // => { foo: 'bar' }
}

.boolean

Check value is boolean, if not throws AssertionError.

Params

• value {any}: value to be checked

assert.boolean(true) // => not throws
assert.boolean(false) // => not throws
assert.boolean(123) // => AssertionError: number !== boolean
assert.boolean(null) // => AssertionError: null !== boolean

try {
  assert.boolean([1, 2, 3], 'expect `val` to be {expected}')
} catch (err) {
  console.log(err.message) // => 'expect `val` to be boolean'
  console.log(err.actual) // => array

Contributing

Pull requests and stars are always welcome. For bugs and feature requests, please create an issue.
Please read the contributing guidelines for advice on opening issues, pull requests, and coding standards.
If you need some help and can spent some cash, feel free to contact me at CodeMentor.io too.

In short: If you want to contribute to that project, please follow these things

1. Please DO NOT edit README.md, CHANGELOG.md and .verb.md files. See "Building docs" section.
2. Ensure anything is okey by installing the dependencies and run the tests. See "Running tests" section.
3. Always use npm run commit to commit changes instead of git commit, because it is interactive and user-friendly. It uses commitizen behind the scenes, which follows Conventional Changelog idealogy.
4. Do NOT bump the version in package.json. For that we use npm run release, which is standard-version and follows Conventional Changelog idealogy.

Thanks a lot! :)

Building docs

Documentation and that readme is generated using verb-generate-readme, which is a verb generator, so you need to install both of them and then run verb command like that

$ npm install verbose/verb#dev verb-generate-readme --global && verb

Please don't edit the README directly. Any changes to the readme must be made in .verb.md.

Running tests

Clone repository and run the following in that cloned directory

$ npm install && npm test
