Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

typesafe-joi

typesafe-joi is a fork of @hapi/joi. More precisely, this is a fork of @types/hapi__joi because it has just redefined the essential APIs of joi. Almost all the APIs are the same as the original APIs, but limitations exists. That is why I create a new package.

typesafe-joi currently matches the API of @hapi/joi 15.x. And it requires TypeScript >=3.0.0 to work.

NOTE: typesafe-joi is still WIP. Sorry but I do not have enough time to write a unit test for it. Please feel free to open an issue when you find bugs or suggestions. I am glad to help!

What’s the difference?

The JavaScript APIs of typesafe-joi and joi are identical. However, its type definition lacks of the type information of the “value” behind the schema. That means, JavaScript knows what the validated object look like at runtime, but TypeScript does not know it at all at compile time. typesafe-joi records more information into schemas so that TypeScript is able to know what object you are validating at compile time.

Unfortunately not all joi APIs are able to be properly described in TypeScript. See Reference for more information.

Usage

Import and use joi from typesafe-joi:

import * as Joi from 'typesafe-joi'

The TypeScript magic is shown when you call .validate or .attempt:

const data: any = dataFromAnywhere

// { foo?: string } | undefined
Joi.object({ foo: Joi.string() }).validate(data).value

// { id: number, email?: string }[]
Joi.attempt(data, Joi.array()
  .items({
    id: Joi.number().integer().required(),
    email: Joi.string().email()
  })
  .required()
)

You can also use Literal to pull the data type out of the schema:

const schema = Joi.array()
  .items({
    id: Joi.number().integer().required(),
    email: Joi.string().email()
  })
  .required()

type T = Joi.Literal<typeof schema>

NOTE: I suggest to turn on strict option in the compiler options of TypeScript.

Typecasting

Not every API of typesafe-joi matches the original joi in types. typesafe-joi provides typecast helpers in case you have to define the resulting type manually.

// 'foo'
Joi.string().required() as Joi.Cast.String<'foo'>

If the typecast includes undefined type, the key will be optional.

// { foo?: Foo }
Joi.object({ foo: number().required() as Joi.Cast.Object<Foo | undefined> })

Typecasting means you have to define everything by yourself. Schema attributes like allow is discarded.

// number | 'foo' | true
Joi.number().allow('foo').default(true)

// 123
Joi.number().allow('foo').default(true) as Joi.Cast.Number<123>

TypeScript may complain about type mismatch. In this case assert the expression to any firstly.

// Error
Joi.object({
  foo: Joi.object().pattern(/\d+/, 1).allow(1) as Joi.Cast.Object<Foo>
})

// { map: Foo | 1 }
Joi.object({
  foo: Joi.object().pattern(/\d+/, 1).allow(1) as any as Joi.Cast.Object<Foo | 1>
})

I recommend not to use the schema anymore after typecast. The behavior will be undefined.

Supported schema types to cast:

  • Cast.Alternatives
  • Cast.Any
  • Cast.Array
  • Cast.Binary
  • Cast.Boolean
  • Cast.Date
  • Cast.Function
  • Cast.Lazy
  • Cast.Number
  • Cast.Object
  • Cast.String

Reference

Here is a list of APIs of joi.

  • ✔️ - Supported but might be incorrect (not well tested)
  • ⚠️ - Partially supported (with limitations)
  • ❌ - Not supported (however you can use it without auto type generation)
  • 🔘 - Supported but no type generation needed
