Deftypes.js

JavaScript type annotaion DSL library for structure and function.

Provide simple DSL and No side effects

It is type checker on execution(not static).

Deftypes can avoid all side effects if you want. It may be also good on testing framework.

Install

Examples are coffee-script.

Node

$ npm install deftypes
{defdefunT} = require 'deftypes'

Browser

$ bower install deftypes

or download deftypes.js of this directory

<script src="master/deftypes.js"></script>
Deftypes()

It provides DSLs => def, defun, T

How to use

Struct Definition

Point = {x: Numbery: Number}
p1 = def Point{x:1y:2} #=> {x: 1, y:2} 
p2 = def Point{x:1z:2} #=> type error 

Typed Array

list = def [T.Int][1,2,3]

(T.Int and T.Fload are defined by default)

Nullable

NullableNumber = {n: T.Nullable(Number)}
p1 = def NullableNumbern:1
p2 = def NullableNumbern:null

Typed Hash

id_table = def T.Hash(StringNumber){
  A:1
  B:2
  C:3
}

Key accepts only Number or String (but it doesn't check yet)

Function Definition

check arguments and returned object

f1 = def T.Func([NumberNumber]String)(m, n) -> "#{m}#{n}"
f1(1,2) #=> "1, 2" 
f1("",2) #=> argument error 
find_index = def T.Func([[Number]Number]T.Nullable(Number))(arr, n) ->
  if (index = arr.indexOf(n)) is -1 then null else index
 
find_index([3,4,5]4) #=> 1 
find_index([3,4,5]9) #=> null 

Function DSL

f2 = defun [NumberNumber]String(m, n) -> "#{m}#{n}"

Any Type

events = def Objectrequire('events')
list = def [T.any][0""null]

Function Scope with type check

= def Point{x:1y:2}
def Pointp->
  @x = 3
 
# Type Error 
def Pointp-> @y = "not number"

Transparent mode

if option.transparent is true, typechecker does nothing, passing through def like transparent for avoiding performance down.

{option} = require 'deftypes'
option.transparent = true
Deftypes.option.transparent = true
