Examples

Basic usage:

import { aintaBoolean } from '@0bdx/ainta';

aintaBoolean(true);
// false

aintaBoolean(1234);
// "A value is type 'number' not 'boolean'"

aintaBoolean(null, 'isDone', { begin:'doThings()' });
// "doThings(): `isDone` is null not type 'boolean'"

Using the narrowAintas() helper:

In the example below, narrowAintas() is used to narrow aintaNumber() into aintaNatural(), and then capture its validation results:

• begin:'bothNatural()' sets a prefix, added to all explanations
• gte:0 checks that the value is not negative
• mod:1 checks that the value is an integer
• lte:1000 and lte:50 specify different maximum values for each argument
• if (results.length) checks whether there were any problems

import narrowAintas, { aintaNumber } from '@0bdx/ainta';

function bothNatural(a, b) {
    const [ results, aintaNatural ] = narrowAintas(
        { begin:'bothNatural()', gte:0, mod:1 },
        aintaNumber
    );
    aintaNatural(a, 'a', { lte:1000 });
    aintaNatural(b, 'b', { lte:50 });
    if (results.length) return results;
    return "a and b are both natural numbers, in range!";
}

bothNatural(-5, 12.34);
// [ "bothNatural(): `a` -5 is not gte 0",
//   "bothNatural(): `b` 23.45 is not divisible by 1" ]

bothNatural(99, 200);
// [ "bothNatural(): `b` 200 is not lte 50" ]

bothNatural(12, 3);
// "a and b are both natural numbers, in range!"
