	name: string().minlength(2).maxlength(10),

const { errorCounts, errors } = librarySchema.validate(someLibraryRecord);

Incoming:

• default values, something like

const { corrected: pageSize } = number().min(10).max(100).integer().default(10).validate(-5);
console.log(corrected); // 10

const { corrected: username } = string()
	.minlength(2)
	.maxlength(10)
	.defaultExpression(value => ('_________' + value).slice(0, 10))
	.validate('1');
console.log(username); // _________1

Aims to provide declarative, expressive and elegant approach to validation, while providing an intuitive, easy-to-use api.

It's cool, because

• it fully embraces ES2015 features such as classes, fat arrow functions, mixins, destructuring statements, modules
• has typescript type definitions - v2.0 comes with typings for enhanced development experience
• has flow libdefs, which will soon be available on flow-typed
• easy to use and pick up, write a little code for a lot of common validation logic
• has a fluent, readable and declarative api
• umd compliant - use in node/browser, with commonjs, umd, script tags, harmony modules, whatever
• no production dependencies, small codebase
• helps developers get rid of imperative code, long if-else's and writing boring validations all over again
• promotes code reuse - easily share code between modules, between clients, servers and across projects
• easy to extends with custom schemas
• statically type checked with latest typescript, checked for correctness with a bunch of unit tests
• throws errors when rubbish arguments are provided to schema methods, instead of failing silently

Running the tests

yarn build && yarn lint && yarn test
