Longer Validator

This module is small but easy to use. The purpose of this module is to check if a target string is longer than the source string, it can optionally also check if the source and target is the same length. It can compare strings and arrays.

Validation processes

The code checks that the source value is longer in length than the target and optional if they are equal length.

Compare method 1

This method compare both source value and target value length to see if source length is the longest.

Compare method 2

This method can also check if the source length is equal to target length.

Code sample

This following code is actually how I tested that all methods correctly functioned as intended, is also provided in this module.

import { valueIsLonger } from '@teamcoder/longervalidator';

var array1 = [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ];
var array2 = [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ];

console.log( "Testing Condition  1 Passed = " + !valueIsLonger( "Hallo"  , "world"          ) );
console.log( "Testing Condition  2 Passed = " + valueIsLonger(  "Hallo " , "world"          ) );
console.log( "Testing Condition  3 Passed = " + !valueIsLonger( "Hallo"  , " world"         ) );
console.log( "Testing Condition  4 Passed = " + !valueIsLonger( "Hallo"  , "world"  , false ) );
console.log( "Testing Condition  5 Passed = " + valueIsLonger(  "Hallo " , "world"  , false ) );
console.log( "Testing Condition  6 Passed = " + !valueIsLonger( "Hallo"  , " world" , false ) );
console.log( "Testing Condition  7 Passed = " + valueIsLonger(  "Hallo"  , "world"  , true  ) );
console.log( "Testing Condition  8 Passed = " + valueIsLonger(  "Hallo " , "world"  , true  ) );
console.log( "Testing Condition  9 Passed = " + !valueIsLonger( "Hallo"  , " world" , true  ) );
console.log( "Testing Condition 10 Passed = " + valueIsLonger(  array1   , array2           ) );
console.log( "Testing Condition 11 Passed = " + !valueIsLonger( array1   , array1           ) );
console.log( "Testing Condition 12 Passed = " + !valueIsLonger( array2   , array1           ) );

The results will look as follows

Testing Condition  1 Passed = true
Testing Condition  2 Passed = true
Testing Condition  3 Passed = true
Testing Condition  4 Passed = true
Testing Condition  5 Passed = true
Testing Condition  6 Passed = true
Testing Condition  7 Passed = true
Testing Condition  8 Passed = true
Testing Condition  9 Passed = true
Testing Condition 10 Passed = true
Testing Condition 11 Passed = true
Testing Condition 12 Passed = true

Notes Before You Start

Very important to remember to always include the following in your main project package.json file:

"type": "module"

Without this entry in the package file you will get the following error if you try to run your project

(node:15500) Warning: To load an ES module, set "type": "module" in the package.json or use the .mjs extension.
(Use 'node --trace-warnings ...' to show where the warning was created)
