# Assert
Library provides assertion utility for better and safe coding.
**Features:**
* Right assertion return types:
`Assert.someFn(value): asserts value is string` or `Assert.is.someFn(value): value is string` etc.
* Assert functions can be chained with [operators](#user-content-operators) (`is`, `all`, `nullOr`, `not`)
* throws WebUtilsAssertionError (extends from Error). Provides right stacktrace (especialy helpfull then coding with Angular to see links to .ts files)
## Installation
```sh
npm i @shedevro/assert --save
```
## Usage
First you should import the library
```typescript
import { Assert } from '@shedevro/assert';
```
***
### **Custom error messages**
Each function can be customized with you own error message.
Error message supports params injecting of assert functions arguments like input or expected values etc.
Most often the order of params matches the function arguments order.
For example:
```typescript
const someValue = 3;
Assert.greaterThan(someValue, 10, 'This value should be greater than {2}, but got {1}');
// throw error with message 'This value should be greater than 10, but got 3';
```
***
### **Functions**
Then you can choice needed function.
#### **Operators**
Almost all functions can be chained with different operators.
Moreover, you can combine them each other.
* `is` – modifies assert functions to return `true` or `false` as a result
* `all` – applies an assert function to a provided array
* `nullOr` – runs assertion only if input value is defined
* `not` – inverts assertion action
For example:
```typescript
// is
const someNumber = 10;
if (Assert.is.range(someNumber, 10, 15)) {
...
}
// all
class User {
id: number;
name: string;
}
const someArray = [new User(), new User];
Assert.all.instanceOf(someArray, User);
// ...futher actions
// nullOr
const someBoolean = null; // or undefined
Assert.nullOr.boolean(someBoolean);
// ...futher actions
// not
const someFunction = () => 123;
Assert.not.throws(someFunction, TypeError);
// combinations
Assert.is.nullOr.not.emptyString('some string');
Assert.not.endsWith('str', 'some suffix');
Assert.nullOr.all.greaterThan([10, 11, 12, 13], 5);
// ...and so on
```
