TypeBox
Json Schema Type Builder with Static Type Resolution for TypeScript
Install
$ npm install @sinclair/typebox --save
Example
import { Type, type Static } from '@sinclair/typebox'
const T = Type.Object({ // const T = {
x: Type.Number(), // type: 'object',
y: Type.Number(), // required: ['x', 'y', 'z'],
z: Type.Number() // properties: {
}) // x: { type: 'number' },
// y: { type: 'number' },
// z: { type: 'number' }
// }
// }
type T = Static<typeof T> // type T = {
// x: number,
// y: number,
// z: number
// }
Overview
TypeBox is a runtime type builder that creates in-memory Json Schema objects that infer as TypeScript types. The schematics produced by this library are designed to match the static type checking rules of the TypeScript compiler. TypeBox offers a unified type that can be statically checked by TypeScript and runtime asserted using standard Json Schema validation.
This library is designed to allow Json Schema to compose with the same flexibility as TypeScript's programmable type system. It can be used as a simple tool to build up complex schematics or integrated into REST and RPC services to help validate data received over the wire.

Usage
The following shows general usage.
import { Type, type Static } from '@sinclair/typebox'
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// Let's say you have the following type ...
//
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
type T = {
id: string,
name: string,
timestamp: number
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// ... you can express this type in the following way.
//
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
const T = Type.Object({ // const T = {
id: Type.String(), // type: 'object',
name: Type.String(), // properties: {
timestamp: Type.Integer() // id: {
}) // type: 'string'
// },
// name: {
// type: 'string'
// },
// timestamp: {
// type: 'integer'
// }
// },
// required: [
// 'id',
// 'name',
// 'timestamp'
// ]
// }
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// ... then infer back to the original static type this way.
//
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
type T = Static<typeof T> // type T = {
// id: string,
// name: string,
// timestamp: number
// }
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// ... then use the type both as Json Schema and as a TypeScript type.
//
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
import { Value } from '@sinclair/typebox/value'
function receive(value: T) { // ... as a Static Type
if(Value.Check(T, value)) { // ... as a Json Schema
// ok...
}
}
Types
TypeBox types are Json Schema fragments that compose into more complex types. Each fragment is structured such that any Json Schema compliant validator can runtime assert a value the same way TypeScript will statically assert a type. TypeBox offers a set of Json Types which are used to create Json Schema compliant schematics as well as a JavaScript type set used to create schematics for constructs native to JavaScript.
Json Types
The following table lists the supported Json types. These types are fully compatible with the Json Schema Draft 7 specification.

JavaScript Types
TypeBox provides an extended type set that can be used to create schematics for common JavaScript constructs. These types can not be used with any standard Json Schema validator; but can be used to frame schematics for interfaces that may receive Json validated data. JavaScript types are prefixed with the [JavaScript] jsdoc comment for convenience. The following table lists the supported types.

Import
Import the Type namespace to bring in the full TypeBox type system. This is recommended for most users.
import { Type, type Static } from '@sinclair/typebox'
You can also selectively import types. This enables modern bundlers to tree shake for unused types.
import { Object, Number, String, Boolean, type Static } from '@sinclair/typebox'
Options
You can pass Json Schema options on the last argument of any given type. Option hints specific to each type are provided for convenience.
// String must be an email
const T = Type.String({ // const T = {
format: 'email' // type: 'string',
}) // format: 'email'
// }
// Number must be a multiple of 2
const T = Type.Number({ // const T = {
multipleOf: 2 // type: 'number',
}) // multipleOf: 2
// }
// Array must have at least 5 integer values
const T = Type.Array(Type.Integer(), { // const T = {
minItems: 5 // type: 'array',
}) // minItems: 5,
// items: {
// type: 'integer'
// }
// }
Properties
Object properties can be modified with Readonly and Optional. The following table shows how these modifiers map between TypeScript and Json Schema.
┌────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────────┐
│ TypeBox │ TypeScript │ Json Schema │
│ │ │ │

Generic Types
Generic types can be created with functions. TypeBox types extend the TSchema interface so you should constrain parameters to this type. The following creates a generic Vector type.
import { Type, type Static, type TSchema } from '@sinclair/typebox'
const Vector = <T extends TSchema>(T: T) =>
Type.Object({ // type Vector<T> = {
x: T, // x: T,
y: T, // y: T,
z: T // z: T
}) // }
const NumberVector = Vector(Type.Number()) // type NumberVector = Vector<number>
Generic types are often used to create aliases for complex types. The following creates a Nullable generic type.
const Nullable = <T extends TSchema>(schema: T) => Type.Union([schema, Type.Null()])
const T = Nullable(Type.String()) // const T = {
// anyOf: [
// { type: 'string' },
// { type: 'null' }
// ]
// }
type T = Static<typeof T> // type T = string | null
Reference Types
Reference types can be created with Ref. These types infer the same as the target type but only store a named $ref to the target type.
const Vector = Type.Object({ // const Vector = {
x: Type.Number(), // type: 'object',
y: Type.Number(), // required: ['x', 'y', 'z'],
}, { $id: 'Vector' }) // properties: {
// x: { type: 'number' },
// y: { type: 'number' }
// },
// $id: 'Vector'
// }
const VectorRef = Type.Ref(Vector) // const VectorRef = {
// $ref: 'Vector'
// }
type VectorRef = Static<typeof VectorRef> // type VectorRef = {
// x: number,
// y: number
// }
Use Deref to dereference a type. This function will replace any interior reference with the target type.
const Vertex = Type.Object({ // const Vertex = {
position: VectorRef, // type: 'object',
texcoord: VectorRef, // required: ['position', 'texcoord'],
}) // properties: {
// position: { $ref: 'Vector' },
// texcoord: { $ref: 'Vector' }
// }
// }
const VertexDeref = Type.Deref(Vertex, [Vector]) // const VertexDeref = {
// type: 'object',
// required: ['position', 'texcoord'],
// properties: {
// position: {
// type: 'object',
// required: ['x', 'y', 'z'],
// properties: {
// x: { type: 'number' },
// y: { type: 'number' }
// }
// },
// texcoord: {
// type: 'object',
// required: ['x', 'y', 'z'],
// properties: {
// x: { type: 'number' },
// y: { type: 'number' }
// }
// }
// }
// }
Note that Ref types do not store structural information about the type they're referencing. Because of this, these types cannot be used with some mapping types (such as Partial or Pick). For applications that require mapping on Ref, use Deref to normalize the type first.
Recursive Types
TypeBox supports recursive data structures with Recursive. This type wraps an interior type and provides it a this context that allows the type to reference itself. The following creates a recursive type. Singular recursive inference is also supported.
const Node = Type.Recursive(This => Type.Object({ // const Node = {
id: Type.String(), // $id: 'Node',
nodes: Type.Array(This) // type: 'object',
}), { $id: 'Node' }) // properties: {
// id: {
// type: 'string'
// },
// nodes: {
// type: 'array',
// items: {
// $ref: 'Node'
// }
// }
// },
// required: [
// 'id',
// 'nodes'
// ]
// }
type Node = Static<typeof Node> // type Node = {
// id: string
// nodes: Node[]
// }
function test(node: Node) {
const id = node.nodes[0].nodes[0].id // id is string
}
Template Literal Types
TypeBox supports template literal types with the TemplateLiteral function. This type can be created using a syntax similar to the TypeScript template literal syntax or composed from exterior types. TypeBox encodes template literals as regular expressions which enables the template to be checked by Json Schema validators. This type also supports regular expression parsing that enables template patterns to be used for generative types. The following shows both TypeScript and TypeBox usage.
// TypeScript
type K = `prop${'A'|'B'|'C'}` // type T = 'propA' | 'propB' | 'propC'
type R = Record<K, string> // type R = {
// propA: string
// propB: string
// propC: string
// }
// TypeBox
const K = Type.TemplateLiteral('prop${A|B|C}') // const K: TTemplateLiteral<[
// TLiteral<'prop'>,
// TUnion<[
// TLiteral<'A'>,
// TLiteral<'B'>,
// TLiteral<'C'>,
// ]>
// ]>
const R = Type.Record(K, Type.String()) // const R: TObject<{
// hello1: TString,
// hello2: TString,
// hello3: TString,
// }>
Indexed Access Types
TypeBox supports indexed access types with the Index function. This function enables uniform access to interior property and element types without having to extract them from the underlying schema representation. Index types are supported for Object, Array, Tuple, Union and Intersect types.
const T = Type.Object({ // type T = {
x: Type.Number(), // x: number,
y: Type.String(), // y: string,
z: Type.Boolean() // z: boolean
}) // }
const A = Type.Index(T, ['x']) // type A = T['x']
//
// ... evaluated as
//
// const A: TNumber
const B = Type.Index(T, ['x', 'y']) // type B = T['x' | 'y']
//
// ... evaluated as
//
// const B: TUnion<[
// TNumber,
// TString,
// ]>
const C = Type.Index(T, Type.KeyOf(T)) // type C = T[keyof T]
//
// ... evaluated as
//
// const C: TUnion<[
// TNumber,
// TString,
// TBoolean
// ]>
Mapped Types
TypeBox supports mapped types with the Mapped function. This function accepts two arguments, the first is a union type typically derived from KeyOf, the second is a mapping function that receives a mapping key K that can be used to index properties of a type. The following implements a mapped type that remaps each property to be T | null
const T = Type.Object({ // type T = {
x: Type.Number(), // x: number,
y: Type.String(), // y: string,
z: Type.Boolean() // z: boolean
}) // }
const M = Type.Mapped(Type.KeyOf(T), K => { // type M = { [K in keyof T]: T[K] | null }
return Type.Union([Type.Index(T, K), Type.Null()]) //
}) // ... evaluated as
//
// const M: TObject<{
// x: TUnion<[TNumber, TNull]>,
// y: TUnion<[TString, TNull]>,
// z: TUnion<[TBoolean, TNull]>
// }>
Conditional Types
TypeBox supports runtime conditional types with the Extends function. This function performs a structural assignability check against the first (left) and second (right) arguments and will return either the third (true) or fourth (false) argument based on the result. The conditional types Exclude and Extract are also supported. The following shows both TypeScript and TypeBox examples of conditional types.
// Extends
const A = Type.Extends( // type A = string extends number ? 1 : 2
Type.String(), //
Type.Number(), // ... evaluated as
Type.Literal(1), //
Type.Literal(2) // const A: TLiteral<2>
)
// Extract
const B = Type.Extract( // type B = Extract<1 | 2 | 3, 1>
Type.Union([ //
Type.Literal(1), // ... evaluated as
Type.Literal(2), //
Type.Literal(3) // const B: TLiteral<1>
]),
Type.Literal(1)
)
// Exclude
const C = Type.Exclude( // type C = Exclude<1 | 2 | 3, 1>
Type.Union([ //
Type.Literal(1), // ... evaluated as
Type.Literal(2), //
Type.Literal(3) // const C: TUnion<[
]), // TLiteral<2>,
Type.Literal(1) // TLiteral<3>,
) // ]>
Intrinsic Types
TypeBox supports the TypeScript intrinsic string manipulation types Uppercase, Lowercase, Capitalize and Uncapitalize. These types can be used to remap Literal, Template Literal and Union of Literal types.
// TypeScript
type A = Capitalize<'hello'> // type A = 'Hello'
type B = Capitalize<'hello' | 'world'> // type C = 'Hello' | 'World'
type C = Capitalize<`hello${1|2|3}`> // type B = 'Hello1' | 'Hello2' | 'Hello3'
// TypeBox
const A = Type.Capitalize(Type.Literal('hello')) // const A: TLiteral<'Hello'>
const B = Type.Capitalize(Type.Union([ // const B: TUnion<[
Type.Literal('hello'), // TLiteral<'Hello'>,
Type.Literal('world') // TLiteral<'World'>
])) // ]>
const C = Type.Capitalize( // const C: TTemplateLiteral<[
Type.TemplateLiteral('hello${1|2|3}') // TLiteral<'Hello'>,
) // TUnion<[
// TLiteral<'1'>,
// TLiteral<'2'>,
// TLiteral<'3'>
// ]>
// ]>
Transform Types
TypeBox supports value decoding and encoding with Transform types. These types work in tandem with the Encode and Decode functions available on the Value and TypeCompiler submodules. Transform types can be used to convert Json encoded values into constructs more natural to JavaScript. The following creates a Transform type to decode numbers into Dates using the Value submodule.
import { Value } from '@sinclair/typebox/value'
const T = Type.Transform(Type.Number())
.Decode(value => new Date(value)) // decode: number to Date
.Encode(value => value.getTime()) // encode: Date to number
const D = Value.Decode(T, 0) // const D = Date(1970-01-01T00:00:00.000Z)
const E = Value.Encode(T, D) // const E = 0
Use the StaticEncode or StaticDecode types to infer a Transform type.
import { Static, StaticDecode, StaticEncode } from '@sinclair/typebox'
const T = Type.Transform(Type.Array(Type.Number(), { uniqueItems: true }))
.Decode(value => new Set(value))
.Encode(value => [...value])
type D = StaticDecode<typeof T> // type D = Set<number>
type E = StaticEncode<typeof T> // type E = Array<number>
type T = Static<typeof T> // type T = Array<number>
Rest Types
TypeBox provides the Rest type to uniformly extract variadic tuples from Intersect, Union and Tuple types. This type can be useful to remap variadic types into different forms. The following uses Rest to remap a Tuple into a Union.
const T = Type.Tuple([ // const T: TTuple<[
Type.String(), // TString,
Type.Number() // TNumber
]) // ]>
const R = Type.Rest(T) // const R: [TString, TNumber]
const U = Type.Union(R) // const T: TUnion<[
// TString,
// TNumber
// ]>
Unsafe Types
TypeBox supports user defined types with Unsafe. This type allows you to specify both schema representation and inference type. The following creates an Unsafe type with a number schema that infers as string.
const T = Type.Unsafe<string>({ type: 'number' }) // const T = { type: 'number' }
type T = Static<typeof T> // type T = string - ?
The Unsafe type is often used to create schematics for extended specifications like OpenAPI.
const Nullable = <T extends TSchema>(schema: T) => Type.Unsafe<Static<T> | null>({
...schema, nullable: true
})
const T = Nullable(Type.String()) // const T = {
// type: 'string',
// nullable: true
// }
type T = Static<typeof T> // type T = string | null
const StringEnum = <T extends string[]>(values: [...T]) => Type.Unsafe<T[number]>({
type: 'string', enum: values
})
const S = StringEnum(['A', 'B', 'C']) // const S = {
// enum: ['A', 'B', 'C']
// }
type S = Static<typeof T> // type S = 'A' | 'B' | 'C'
TypeGuard
TypeBox can check its own types with the TypeGuard module. This module is written for type introspection and provides structural tests for every built-in TypeBox type. Functions of this module return is guards which can be used with control flow assertions to obtain schema inference for unknown values. The following guards that the value T is TString.
import { TypeGuard, Kind } from '@sinclair/typebox'
const T = { [Kind]: 'String', type: 'string' }
if(TypeGuard.IsString(T)) {
// T is TString
}
Strict
TypeBox types contain various symbol properties that are used for reflection, composition and compilation. These properties are not strictly valid Json Schema; so in some cases it may be desirable to omit them. TypeBox provides a Strict function that will omit these properties if necessary.
const T = Type.Object({ // const T = {
name: Type.Optional(Type.String()) // [Symbol(TypeBox.Kind)]: 'Object',
}) // type: 'object',
// properties: {
// name: {
// type: 'string',
// [Symbol(TypeBox.Kind)]: 'String',
// [Symbol(TypeBox.Optional)]: 'Optional'
// }
// }
// }
const U = Type.Strict(T) // const U = {
// type: 'object',
// properties: {
// name: {
// type: 'string'
// }
// }
// }
Values
TypeBox provides an optional Value submodule that can be used to perform structural operations on JavaScript values. This submodule includes functionality to create, check and cast values from types as well as check equality, clone, diff and patch JavaScript values. This submodule is provided via optional import.
import { Value } from '@sinclair/typebox/value'
Create
Use the Create function to create a value from a type. TypeBox will use default values if specified.
const T = Type.Object({ x: Type.Number(), y: Type.Number({ default: 42 }) })
const A = Value.Create(T) // const A = { x: 0, y: 42 }
Clone
Use the Clone function to deeply clone a value.
const A = Value.Clone({ x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 }) // const A = { x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 }
Check
Use the Check function to type check a value.
const T = Type.Object({ x: Type.Number() })
const R = Value.Check(T, { x: 1 }) // const R = true
Convert
Use the Convert function to convert a value into its target type if a reasonable conversion is possible. This function may return an invalid value and should be checked before use. Its return type is unknown.
const T = Type.Object({ x: Type.Number() })
const R1 = Value.Convert(T, { x: '3.14' }) // const R1 = { x: 3.14 }
const R2 = Value.Convert(T, { x: 'not a number' }) // const R2 = { x: 'not a number' }
Clean
Use Clean to remove excess properties from a value. This function does not check the value and returns an unknown type. You should Check the result before use. Clean is a mutable operation. To avoid mutation, Clone the value first.
const T = Type.Object({
x: Type.Number(),
y: Type.Number()
})
const X = Value.Clean(T, null) // const 'X = null
const Y = Value.Clean(T, { x: 1 }) // const 'Y = { x: 1 }
const Z = Value.Clean(T, { x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 }) // const 'Z = { x: 1, y: 2 }
Default
Use Default to generate missing properties on a value using default schema annotations if available. This function does not check the value and returns an unknown type. You should Check the result before use. Default is a mutable operation. To avoid mutation, Clone the value first.
const T = Type.Object({
x: Type.Number({ default: 0 }),
y: Type.Number({ default: 0 })
})
const X = Value.Default(T, null) // const 'X = null - non-enumerable
const Y = Value.Default(T, { }) // const 'Y = { x: 0, y: 0 }
const Z = Value.Default(T, { x: 1 }) // const 'Z = { x: 1, y: 0 }
Cast
Use the Cast function to upcast a value into a target type. This function will retain as much infomation as possible from the original value. The Cast function is intended to be used in data migration scenarios where existing values need to be upgraded to match a modified type.
const T = Type.Object({ x: Type.Number(), y: Type.Number() }, { additionalProperties: false })
const X = Value.Cast(T, null) // const X = { x: 0, y: 0 }
const Y = Value.Cast(T, { x: 1 }) // const Y = { x: 1, y: 0 }
const Z = Value.Cast(T, { x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 }) // const Z = { x: 1, y: 2 }
Decode
Use the Decode function to decode a value from a type or throw if the value is invalid. The return value will infer as the decoded type. This function will run Transform codecs if available.
const A = Value.Decode(Type.String(), 'hello') // const A = 'hello'
const B = Value.Decode(Type.String(), 42) // throw
Encode
Use the Encode function to encode a value to a type or throw if the value is invalid. The return value will infer as the encoded type. This function will run Transform codecs if available.
const A = Value.Encode(Type.String(), 'hello') // const A = 'hello'
const B = Value.Encode(Type.String(), 42) // throw
Equal
Use the Equal function to deeply check for value equality.
const R = Value.Equal( // const R = true
{ x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 },
{ x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 }
)
Hash
Use the Hash function to create a FNV1A-64 non cryptographic hash of a value.
const A = Value.Hash({ x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 }) // const A = 2910466848807138541n
const B = Value.Hash({ x: 1, y: 4, z: 3 }) // const B = 1418369778807423581n
Diff
Use the Diff function to generate a sequence of edits that will transform one value into another.
const E = Value.Diff( // const E = [
{ x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 }, // { type: 'update', path: '/y', value: 4 },
{ y: 4, z: 5, w: 6 } // { type: 'update', path: '/z', value: 5 },
) // { type: 'insert', path: '/w', value: 6 },
// { type: 'delete', path: '/x' }
// ]
Patch
Use the Patch function to apply a sequence of edits.
const A = { x: 1, y: 2 }
const B = { x: 3 }
const E = Value.Diff(A, B) // const E = [
// { type: 'update', path: '/x', value: 3 },
// { type: 'delete', path: '/y' }
// ]
const C = Value.Patch<typeof B>(A, E) // const C = { x: 3 }
Errors
Use the Errors function to enumerate validation errors.
const T = Type.Object({ x: Type.Number(), y: Type.Number() })
const R = [...Value.Errors(T, { x: '42' })] // const R = [{
// schema: { type: 'number' },
// path: '/x',
// value: '42',
// message: 'Expected number'
// }, {
// schema: { type: 'number' },
// path: '/y',
// value: undefined,
// message: 'Expected number'
// }]
Mutate
Use the Mutate function to perform a deep mutable value assignment while retaining internal references.
const Y = { z: 1 } // const Y = { z: 1 }
const X = { y: Y } // const X = { y: { z: 1 } }
const A = { x: X } // const A = { x: { y: { z: 1 } } }
Value.Mutate(A, { x: { y: { z: 2 } } }) // A' = { x: { y: { z: 2 } } }
const R0 = A.x.y.z === 2 // const R0 = true
const R1 = A.x.y === Y // const R1 = true
const R2 = A.x === X // const R2 = true
Pointer
Use ValuePointer to perform mutable updates on existing values using RFC6901 Json Pointers.
import { ValuePointer } from '@sinclair/typebox/value'
const A = { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 }
ValuePointer.Set(A, '/x', 1) // A' = { x: 1, y: 0, z: 0 }
ValuePointer.Set(A, '/y', 1) // A' = { x: 1, y: 1, z: 0 }
ValuePointer.Set(A, '/z', 1) // A' = { x: 1, y: 1, z: 1 }
TypeRegistry
The TypeBox type system can be extended with additional types and formats using the TypeRegistry and FormatRegistry modules. These modules integrate deeply with TypeBox's internal type checking infrastructure and can be used to create application specific types, or register schematics for alternative specifications.
TypeRegistry
Use the TypeRegistry to register a type. The Kind must match the registered type name.
import { TSchema, Kind, TypeRegistry } from '@sinclair/typebox'
TypeRegistry.Set('Foo', (schema, value) => value === 'foo')
const Foo = { [Kind]: 'Foo' } as TSchema
const A = Value.Check(Foo, 'foo') // const A = true
const B = Value.Check(Foo, 'bar') // const B = false
FormatRegistry
Use the FormatRegistry to register a string format.
import { FormatRegistry } from '@sinclair/typebox'
FormatRegistry.Set('foo', (value) => value === 'foo')
const T = Type.String({ format: 'foo' })
const A = Value.Check(T, 'foo') // const A = true
const B = Value.Check(T, 'bar') // const B = false
TypeCheck
TypeBox types target Json Schema Draft 7 and are compatible with any validator that supports this specification. TypeBox also provides a built in type checking compiler designed specifically for TypeBox types that offers high performance compilation and value checking.
The following sections detail using Ajv and the TypeBox compiler infrastructure.
Ajv
The following shows the recommended setup for Ajv.
$ npm install ajv ajv-formats --save
import { Type } from '@sinclair/typebox'
import addFormats from 'ajv-formats'
import Ajv from 'ajv'
const ajv = addFormats(new Ajv({}), [
'date-time',
'time',
'date',
'email',
'hostname',
'ipv4',
'ipv6',
'uri',
'uri-reference',
'uuid',
'uri-template',
'json-pointer',
'relative-json-pointer',
'regex'
])
const validate = ajv.compile(Type.Object({
x: Type.Number(),
y: Type.Number(),
z: Type.Number()
}))
const R = validate({ x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 }) // const R = true
TypeCompiler
The TypeBox TypeCompiler is a high performance JIT validation compiler that transforms TypeBox types into optimized JavaScript validation routines. The compiler is tuned for fast compilation as well as fast value assertion. It is built to serve as a validation backend that can be integrated into larger applications. It can also be used for code generation.
The TypeCompiler is provided as an optional import.
import { TypeCompiler } from '@sinclair/typebox/compiler'
Use the Compile function to JIT compile a type. Note that compilation is generally an expensive operation and should only be performed once per type during application start up. TypeBox does not cache previously compiled types, and applications are expected to hold references to each compiled type for the lifetime of the application.
const C = TypeCompiler.Compile(Type.Object({ // const C: TypeCheck<TObject<{
x: Type.Number(), // x: TNumber;
y: Type.Number(), // y: TNumber;
z: Type.Number() // z: TNumber;
})) // }>>
const R = C.Check({ x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 }) // const R = true
Use the Errors function to generate diagnostic errors for a value. The Errors function will return an iterator that when enumerated; will perform an exhaustive check across the entire value yielding any error found. For performance, this function should only be called after a failed Check. Applications may also choose to yield only the first value to avoid exhaustive error generation.
const C = TypeCompiler.Compile(Type.Object({ // const C: TypeCheck<TObject<{
x: Type.Number(), // x: TNumber;
y: Type.Number(), // y: TNumber;
z: Type.Number() // z: TNumber;
})) // }>>
const value = { }
const first = C.Errors(value).First() // const first = {
// schema: { type: 'number' },
// path: '/x',
// value: undefined,
// message: 'Expected number'
// }
const all = [...C.Errors(value)] // const all = [{
// schema: { type: 'number' },
// path: '/x',
// value: undefined,
// message: 'Expected number'
// }, {
// schema: { type: 'number' },
// path: '/y',
// value: undefined,
// message: 'Expected number'
// }, {
// schema: { type: 'number' },
// path: '/z',
// value: undefined,
// message: 'Expected number'
// }]
Use the Code function to generate assertion functions as strings. This function can be used to generate code that can be written to disk as importable modules. This technique is sometimes referred to as Ahead of Time (AOT) compilation. The following generates code to check a string.
const C = TypeCompiler.Code(Type.String()) // const C = `return function check(value) {
// return (
// (typeof value === 'string')
// )
// }`
TypeSystem
The TypeBox TypeSystem module provides configurations to use either Json Schema or TypeScript type checking semantics. Configurations made to the TypeSystem module are observed by the TypeCompiler, Value and Error modules.
Policies
TypeBox validates using standard Json Schema assertion policies by default. The TypeSystemPolicy module can override some of these to have TypeBox assert values inline with TypeScript static checks. It also provides overrides for certain checking rules related to non-serializable values (such as void) which can be helpful in Json based protocols such as Json Rpc 2.0.
The following overrides are available.
import { TypeSystemPolicy } from '@sinclair/typebox/system'
// Disallow undefined values for optional properties (default is false)
//
// const A: { x?: number } = { x: undefined } - disallowed when enabled
TypeSystemPolicy.ExactOptionalPropertyTypes = true
// Allow arrays to validate as object types (default is false)
//
// const A: {} = [] - allowed in TS
TypeSystemPolicy.AllowArrayObject = true
// Allow numeric values to be NaN or + or - Infinity (default is false)
//
// const A: number = NaN - allowed in TS
TypeSystemPolicy.AllowNaN = true
// Allow void types to check with undefined and null (default is false)
//
// Used to signal void return on Json-Rpc 2.0 protocol
TypeSystemPolicy.AllowNullVoid = true
Error Function
Error messages in TypeBox can be customized by defining an ErrorFunction. This function allows for the localization of error messages as well as enabling custom error messages for custom types. By default, TypeBox will generate messages using the en-US locale. To support additional locales, you can replicate the function found in src/errors/function.ts and create a locale specific translation. The function can then be set via SetErrorFunction.
The following example shows an inline error function that intercepts errors for String, Number and Boolean only. The DefaultErrorFunction is used to return a default error message.
import { SetErrorFunction, DefaultErrorFunction, ValueErrorType } from '@sinclair/typebox/errors'
SetErrorFunction((error) => { // i18n override
switch(error.errorType) {
/* en-US */ case ValueErrorType.String: return 'Expected string'
/* fr-FR */ case ValueErrorType.Number: return 'Nombre attendu'
/* ko-KR */ case ValueErrorType.Boolean: return '예상 부울'
/* en-US */ default: return DefaultErrorFunction(error)
}
})
const T = Type.Object({ // const T: TObject<{
x: Type.String(), // TString,
y: Type.Number(), // TNumber,
z: Type.Boolean() // TBoolean
}) // }>
const E = [...Value.Errors(T, { // const E = [{
x: null, // type: 48,
y: null, // schema: { ... },
z: null // path: '/x',
})] // value: null,
// message: 'Expected string'
// }, {
// type: 34,
// schema: { ... },
// path: '/y',
// value: null,
// message: 'Nombre attendu'
// }, {
// type: 14,
// schema: { ... },
// path: '/z',
// value: null,
// message: '예상 부울'
// }]
