I totally agree with you. Simple and to the point is how this library can really stand out
from superstruct.
@skbolton glad you like it!
Could you give a code sample showing what you mean?
from superstruct.
I looked into the source and it would looks like it would be tough to add. But basically a way to add new types in without having to create a new struct out of a superstruct every time.
I have to write 12 of these structs and almost all of them need to have a date validation.
import { superstruct } from 'superstruct'
const struct = superstruct({
types: {
date: value => someDateVerifier(value)
})
// now use struct
Doing in this in every file was a little painful. So instead I did it in one file and all of my files using superstruct require that file. Its fine just means I have to manage some crazy require paths sometimes. I was hoping there could be a way to add types to extend the built in ones
Totally made up api incoming!
import { extendTypes } from 'superstruct'
extendTypes.addType('date', value => someDateVerification(value))
So now date verification is available to all superstructs
from superstruct.
Ah @skbolton I see what you mean now.
I agree that this would make that case easy, but Superstruct is actually designed purposefully to not allow extend the global behavior like that. Instead, you should do what you're already doing where you instantiate your own ./utils/superstruct
(or similar) and require it wherever you need it.
I think although the require paths may be slightly frustrating (this can be fixed by having flatter/better code structures), it is very worth the explicitness of having the definitions all live in a single place, and not be globally mutable.
