Core - Superstruct

assert
assert<T>(value: unknown, struct: Struct<T>) => asserts value is T
1
assert(value, User)
Copied!
Assert that value is valid according to a struct. If the value is invalid a StructError will be thrown.
🤖 When using TypeScript assert acts as an assertion function, so you can ensure that after calling it the type of the value matches the shape of the struct.
create
create<T>(value: unknown, struct: Struct<T>) => unknown
1
const user = create(value, User)
Copied!
Create a value using the coercion logic that is built-in to the struct, returning the newly coerced value. If the value is invalid a StructError will be thrown.
🤖 If you want coercion logic like defaulted values, you must call this helper before running validation.
is
is<T>(value: unknown, struct: Struct<T>) => value is T
1
if (is(value, User)) {
2
  // ...
3
}
Copied!
Test that value is valid, returning a boolean representing whether it is valid or not.
🤖 When using TypeScript is acts as a type guard, so you can use it in an if statement to ensure that inside the statement the value matches the shape of the struct.
validate
validate<T>(value: unknown, struct: Struct<T>, options: Object) => [StructError, T]
1
const [err, user] = validate(value, User)
Copied!
Validate value, returning a result tuple. If the value is invalid the first element will be a StructError. Otherwise, the first element will be undefined and the second element will be a value that is guaranteed to match the struct.
You can pass { coerce: true } as the third argument to enable coercion of the input value.
