tb

Sometimes it is necessary to specialize the configuration. Not because you're totally into strict application, but because sometimes you will allow third-party-implementations.

The tb (known as tree-builder) allows the developer to specialize a configuration fast and without problems through an easy API.

Install

npm install tb

Example

var builder = require('tb');
var definition = builder('package');
var result;

definition
  .children()
    .stringNode('name').isRequired().end()
    .objectNode('developer')
      .children()
        .stringNode('name').isRequired().end()
        .stringNode('email').isRequired().end()
        .numberNode('age')
          .isGreaterOrEqualThan(18)
        .end()
      .end()
    .end()
  .end();

try {
  result = definition.deploy({
    name: 'Pentakill Package',
    developer: {
      name: 'Jon Doe',
      email: '[email protected]'
    }
  });
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error.path + ': ' + error.message);
}

mixedNode(key)

validator(callback)

Setup the validator callback.

isRequired()

Elaborates that the defined parameter has to be occupied.

defaultValue(value)

Defines the default-value.

objectNode(key)

arrayNode(key)

hasKey(key)

Defines that the defined array has to contain the declared key.

lengthOf(value)

Defines the length of the array.

minLength(value)

Defines the minimal length of the array.

maxLength(value)

Defines the maximal length of the array.

functionNode(key)

See global.

stringNode(key)

regExpToBeTruly(regEx)

Expects that the committed RegEx is tested positiv.

regExpToBeFalsely(regEx)

Expects that the committed RegEx is tested negativ.

minLength(value)

Defines the minimal length.

maxLength(value)

Defines the maximal length.

numberNode(key)

isGreaterThan(value)

Expects that the merit is bigger as value.

isLowerThan(value)

Expects that the merit is smaller as value.

isGreaterOrEqualThan(value)

Expects the merit to be greater or equal to value.

isLowerOrEqualThan(value)

Expects the merit to be smaller or equal to value.

isEqualTo(value)

Expects the merit to be equal to value.

booleanNode(key)

expectToBeTrue()

Expects 'true`.

expectToBeFalse()

Expects false.

You want to help us? Cool, thanks!

It ist important to watch the given coding standards and to implement them.

At bottom it is very simple.

1. Checkout of the repository.
2. Run npm install.
3. Define the content and write some test for it.
4. Implement the new functionality.
5. Run grunt test
6. Create a pull-request
