Data validators library
Installation
Run from command line
npm i @awerlogus/validators
Usage example
const DT = require('@awerlogus/validators/lib/data-type')
const ER = require('@awerlogus/validators/lib/errors')
const E = require('@awerlogus/data-types/lib/either')
const V = require('@awerlogus/validators/lib/basic')
// MODULE Type imports
/** @typedef {import('@awerlogus/data-types/lib/json').Json} Json */
/** @template {Record<string, any>} E, P, T @typedef {import('@awerlogus/validators/lib/data-type').Validator<E, P, T>} Validator */
/** @template {Validator<any, any, any>} V @typedef {import('@awerlogus/validators/lib/data-type').ValidatorErrors<V>} ValidatorErrors */

// MODULE Custom combinators example
// SECTION Type declarations
/**
* Description of condition checking error:
* - The key is error tag;
* - The value is error details.
*
* Error information is easily composable using type intersection.
*/

/** @typedef {{ 'less-or-equal': { max: number } }} LessOrEqualError */
// SECTION Constants
/**
* Every validator must return either result or array of errors.
* Result and errors are wrapped in @awerlogus/data-types/lib/either.
*
* ValidationResult accepts possible custom errors and result types as parameters.

/**
* Validator<E, P, T> accepts value of type P and converts is to type T
* during validation or returns one of the errors passed as E.
*
* Example of Validator is a validator that tries to build Date object out of
* string that probably contains information about date. In this case E will contain an error
* that valid date string expected, but the string passed does not fit this criteria.
* Parameter P will be string, and T will be Date. In the case of success string will be converted into Date.
