Kensho

The JavaScript validation package.

This plugin can't validate form values. If you want to it, use Kensho-form.

Note :
Destructive changes have been made since version 2.X. It is not compatible. If you need an older version, please use Kensho-legacy. 🙇‍♂️

This package works with the rule that validates values and the converter that converts values before validating them.
They are not included in this package, so you will need to import them from outside to actually validate the values.
How to import and create it is explained below. There is also a generic rule and converter available as a separate module, if you want to use it.

• kensho-rulebook-default
• kensho-convbox-default

Install

$ npm i @yokotak0527/kensho

Setup

import Kensho from '@yokotak0527/kensho'
// or if you are using CommonJS
const Kensho = require('@yokotak0527/kensho')

Usage

Kensho.rule.add('isNumber', value => typeof value === 'number')
Kensho.validate('isNumber', 10) // true

// with to use a converter
Kensho.converter.add('stringToNumber', value => {
  if (typeof value !=== 'string') throw new Error('value is not a string.')
  return Number(value)
})
Kensho.validate('isNumber', Kensho.convert('stringToNumber', "10")) // true

// with to use multiple converters
Kensho.converter.add('numberToString', value => {
  if (typeof value !=== 'number') throw new Error('value is not a number.')
  return value.toString()
})
Kensho.validate('isNumber', Kensho.convert(['numberToString', 'stringToNumber'], 2)) // true

// if you add an alias to `Kensho.convert`, it will be easier to read.
const to = Kensho.convert
Kensho.validate('isNumber', to(['numberToString', 'stringToNumber'], 2)) // true

The above example shows the sequential addition of rules and converters, but in actual use, you will probably have to import them from external sources.

Rule

The rule is the logic used to validate a value.

Kensho provide general rules as external rules kensho-rulebook-default, but also you can add your original rules.

Add your original rules

import Kensho from '@yokotak0527/kensho'

// The rule function takes the value to be verified as the first argument, the
// function option as the second argument as an object, and returns a boolean
// value. The options are not required. If there are options, please set the
// default values for all properties.
Kensho.rule.add('isBoolean', val => typeof val === 'boolean')

Kensho.validate('isBoolean', false) // -> true

With TypeScript

You can extend RuleBook(rule list kvs) with your *.d.ts file.

// your *.d.ts file
declare namespace Kensho {
  interface RuleBook {
    'isBoolean' : (val:any)=>boolean
  }
}

import Kensho from '@yokotak0527/kensho'

Kensho.rule.add('isBoolean', val => typeof val === 'boolean')

If you create a declaration file, the arguments will be inferred when you run Kensho.validate().

RuleBook

The ruleBook is a key-value store for rules. It is used for distributing rules or for bulk registration.

create / use the RuleBook

const ruleBook = {
  'isBoolean': value => typeof value === 'boolean',
  'isString': value => typeof value === 'string',
  'isNaturalNumber': (value, { zero = true }) => zero ? value >= 0 : value > 0
}

Kensho.rule.import(ruleBook)

Converter

The converter is a logic that converts a passed value into another value or types.

Kensho provide general converters as external convertes kensho-convbox-default, but also you can add your original converters.

Add your original converters

import Kensho from '@yokotak0527/kensho'

// The converter function takes the value to be converted and returns the converted value.
Kensho.converter.add('stringToNumber', value => {
  if (typeof value !== 'string') throw new Error('value is not a string.')
  return Number(value)
})

Kensho.convert('stringToNumber', "2") // -> 2

with TypeScript

You can extend ConverterBox(converter list kvs) with your *.d.ts file.

// your *.d.ts file
declare namespace Kensho {
  interface ConverterBox {
    'stringToNumber' : (val:string)=>number
  }
}

import Kensho from '@yokotak0527/kensho'

Kensho.converter.add('stringToNumber', value => {
  if (typeof value !== 'string') throw new Error('value is not a string.')
  return Number(value)
})

Kensho.convert(converter, value)

The argument converter can be of type string or Array<string>.

with TypeScript

When using TypeScript, generics can be used to specify the types of input and output values.

Kensho.convert<string, number>('stringToNumber', '2') // -> 2

However, if the declaration file extends ConverterBox, it will be inferred.

Kensho.convert('stringToNumber', 2) // tsc catched a error

If an array of strings is passed as the first argument, no inference will be performed, but passing the array as const will enable the inference.

Kensho.convert(['stringToNumber', 'numberToString'] as const, 2) //  // tsc catched a error

ConverterBox

The converterBox is a key-value store for converter. It is used for distributing converter or for bulk registration.

create / use the ConverterBox

const converterBox = {
}

Kensho.converter.import(converterBox)

Kensho.validate()

The arguments of this function is.

1. ruleName:string - to be use.
2. value:any - to be validated.
3. ruleOption?:Object- is ruleName option.
4. validateOption?:Object - is validating options.

validateOption

| props | default | desc. | |----------------------|---------|-------| | throughEmptyString | false | Returns true if the value is empty string before validating it. | | throughNull | false | Returns true if the value is null before validating it. | | throughUndefined | false | Returns true if the value is undefined before validating it. | | throughNaN | false | Returns true if the value is undefined before validating it. |

These values can be set in the global configuration and do not need to be specified each time.

Global config.

Kensho.config = {
  validate : {
    throughEmptyString : false,
    throughNull        : false,
    throughUndefined   : false,
    throughNaN         : false
  }
}
