Tunnel-Cast/Common

Object-To-Model library, lets the user construct a strict model definition using ES6 class and Typescript Decorators api, the model class will wrap and describe the parsing, validation and transformation processes.

Highlights

• Embedding an input processing logic & validation in the model class definitions using decorators.
• Supporting common types and your own Models as (nested) class attributes in your model class definition.
• Providing an easy API to customize each stage in the process, parsing, validating and transforming.
• Supporting Model class extending (eg. class AdminModel extends UserModel ...)

Example

import { String, Boolean, Number, Model, Required, JsonParse } from '@tunnel-cast/common'
import { cast } from '@tunnel-cast/common/cast'

class User {
    @String({ required: false })
    username: string;

    @String()
    email: string;

    @Boolean({ required: false })
    notificationOn: number;
}

class ServerResponse {
    @Required(true)
    @Number({ 
        min: 3,
        parsing: [(val) => Number(val)]
    })
    apiVersion: number;

    @JsonParse
    @field.Array()
    imageTensor: Array<Array<number>>;

    @Model()
    user: User
}

const { value, errors } = cast(ServerResponse, { 
    apiVersion: '9', 
    imageTensor: "[[1,2],[2,3]]", 
    user: { email: 'user@examle.com' } 
}); 


console.log(JSON.stringify({ value, errors }, undefined, 2))

// output :
{
    "value": {
        "apiVersion": 9,
        "imageTensor": [
            [1, 2], [2, 3]
        ],
        "user": {
            "email": "user@examle.com"
        }
    }
