typed-json-mapper

Type-safe json mapper

install

$ npm install --save @yamatomo/typed-json-mapper

or

$ yarn add @yamatomo/typed-json-mapper

usage

basic

import { TypedJsonMapper, map } from '@yamatomo/typed-json-mapper';

class Mapper extends TypedJsonMapper {
  str = '';
  num = Number.MIN_SAFE_INTEGER;
  bool = false;
  nil = null;
  @map(String) arrayOfStrings: string[] = [];
}

// ------------------
const [mapper, err] = Mapper.map({
  str: 'str', num: 123, bool: true, nil: null, array_of_strings: ['a', 'b']
});

/*
mapper => Mapper {
  str: 'str',
  num: 123,
  bool: true,
  nil: null,
  arrayOfStrings: ['a', 'b']
}
*/

array type mapping

Use @map decorator. (must)

class Mapper extends TypedJsonMapper {
  @map(String) arrayOfString: string[] = [];
  @map(Number) arrayOfNumber: number[] = [];
}

complex type mapping

• custom type
  • Implement a mapper class that inherit from TypeJsonMapper, and pass it to @map decorator.
• union type
  • Implement a mapper functions, and pass it to @map decorator.

import { TypedJsonMapper, map, Errors } from '@yamatomo/typed-json-mapper';

// you should implement mapper class
class CustomType extends TypedJsonMapper {
  id = -1;
  str = '';
}

// you should implement mapper function
const toNullableString = (data: unknown): [string | null, Errors] => {
  const errors: Errors = typeof data === 'number' ? ['data type is number!'] : undefined;
  return [data != null ? String(data) : null, errors];
}

class Mapper extends TypedJsonMapper {
  // custom type
  @map(CustomType) custom: CustomType = new CustomType();
  // custom type + array
  @map(CustomType) arrayOfCustom: CustomType[] = [];

  // union type
  @map(toNullableString) nullableStr: string | null = null;
  // union type + array
  @map(toNullableString) nullableStrings: (string | null)[] = [];
}

error handling

const toNullableString = (data: unknown): [string | null, Errors] => {
  const errors: Errors = typeof data === 'number' ? ['data type is number!'] : undefined;
  return [data != null ? String(data) : null, errors];
}

class Mapper extends TypedJsonMapper {
  str = '';
  num = -1
  @map(toNullableString) nullableStr: string | null = 'default';
}

const [mapper, err] = Mapper.map({ num: 'string', nullable_str: 111 });
if (err) {
  // something error handling
  /*
  err => [
    '`Mapper.str` not exists mapping value.',
    '`Mapper.num` type mismatch. expected-type: `number` actual: `"string"`',
    '`Mapper.nullableStr` -> data type is number!'
  ]
  */
}

/*
mapper => Mapper {
  str: '',
  num: 0,
  nullableStr: '111',
}
*/

ignore errors only for specific key

Use @ignoreError decorator.

class Mapper extends TypedJsonMapper {
  @ignoreError str = '';
}

const [mapper, err] = Mapper.map({ str: 1111 });
/*
mapper => Mapper {
  str: '1111',
}
*/

/*
err => undefined
*/

options

• disableTransformKeys (default: true)
  • Disable snake-case to camel-case transform of keys when mapping.

limitation

• Can't use Non-null assertion operator.
• Can't use undefined type for property, use null instead

linter

The typescript compiler can't detect mismatches between property types and mapper return types.

for example

class WrongTypeClass extends TypedJsonMapper {
  @map(String) list: number[] = []; // <--- mapper return type = string, property type = number.
                                    // A mismatch occurs, but no compile error occurs.
}

Check for such mismatches with this tool.

$ npx mapper-code-lint ./src/**/*.ts

or

$ yarn mapper-code-lint ./src/**/*.ts
