assert

This library is used with TypeScript support in production code where you want to reduce/infer type of certain variables.

Here is one good example:

type User = { userId: string }

// Assume that we have getUser() that returns either null or an User object
funtion getUser(): null | User {
}

// When we know that getUser() will certainly not return null beyond this point,
// use assertExists to reduce the type to User.
const { userId } = assertExists(getUser())

API:

| Method | Explanation | | --- | --- | | assertExists| Assert that variable should not be neither null nor undefined. | assertType| Assert the type of variable using a typeguard function. | assertRequired| Assert variable to follow a certain Joi schema whose properties are required unless stated otherwise. | assertOptional| Assert variable to follow a certain Joi schema whose properties are optional unless stated otherwise.
