- 🚀 Lightweight and fast^
- 👴 ES3-compliant\*
- 💻 Portable between the browser and Node.js
- 📘 Comes with built-in TypeScript definitions
- 📑 Split into a lot of modules (under `cjs/`) so you get to choose what you want
- 🎨 Includes a wide array of assertion functions
- 💪 Very customizable (you get to choose comparison logic, name displayed on error, et cetera)

\*_Hasn't been tested in an actual ES3 environment. Feel free to open an issue or pull request if you find any non-ES3 thing. See "Contribute" for instructions on how to do so._

_^The source code is about 2 kilobytes._

## What's this?

This is an assertion library for types and conditions. It's designed to be lightweight and portable between
the browser and Node.js.

### API

- `function assert(condition: boolean, params?: AssertOptionalParams): void;`

  Asserts that `condition` is truthy. Throws an `AssertionError` otherwise.

  | Parameter               | Type                         | Description                               |
  | ----------------------- | ---------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
  | `condition`             | `boolean`                    | The condition to assert.                  |
  | `assertParams`          | `AssertOptionalParams<E, A>` | `AssertionError` options.                 |
  | `assertParams.expected` | `E`                          | Expected value for the assertion.         |
  | `assertParams.actual`   | `A`                          | Received value for the assertion.         |
  | `assertParams.operator` | `string`                     | Optional operator used for the assertion. |

- `function assertTypeOf(arg: any, expectedType: Type, name: string): void;` (since 1.0.6, `name` is optional since 1.0.8)

  Asserts that the type of `arg` is `expectedType`. Throws a `TypeError` otherwise.
  | Parameter | Type | Description |
  |-------------------------|------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
  | `arg` | `any` | An expression whose type is to be asserted. |
  | `expectedType` | `Type` | The expected type. |
  | `name` | `string` | An optional expression name to be put in the `TypeError`'s message. Defaults to "arg". |

- `function assertOneOf<T = unknown>(arg: any, name: string, choices: any[]): void;` (since 1.0.6, type param bound to `choices` added in 1.0.8)

  Asserts `arg` is one of `choices`, using `comparator` to compare `arg` against each choice.
  Throws a `TypeError` otherwise.

  **WARNING:**
  **Since v2, the `shallow` argument is no longer valid -- it has been replaced with `comparator`.**

  This is done so you can use this library without the need to install `@santi100/equal-lib`, whilst also
  adding flexibility to use custom comparison logic or the deep equality library of your choice.

  | Parameter                   | Type                                           | Description                                                                                      |
  | --------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
  | `arg`                       | `any`                                          | The value that's expected to be included within `choices`.                                       |
  | `name`                      | `string`                                       | An expression name to be put in the `TypeError`'s message.                                       |
  | `choices`                   | `T[]`                                          | An array containing the posible values `arg` should have in order for an error not to be thrown. |
  | `comparator?` (since 2.0.0) | `(a: unknown, b: T) => boolean` or `undefined` | A custom comparator to add, for instance, deep equality!                                         |

- `function assertInteger(arg: number, name: string): void;` (since 1.0.6)

  Asserts `arg` is an integer. Throws a `TypeError` otherwise.

- `function assertMin(arg: any, name: string, min: any): void;` (since 1.0.6)

  Asserts `arg` is bigger or equal than `min`. Throws a `TypeError` otherwise.

- `function assertMax(arg: any, name: string, max: any): void;` (since 1.0.6)

  Asserts `arg` is smaller or equal than `max`. Throws a `TypeError` otherwise.

- `function assertRange(arg: any, name: string, min: any, max: any): void;` (since 1.0.6)

  Asserts `arg` is **NEITHER** smaller than `min` **NOR** bigger than `max`.
  Throws a `TypeError` (`RangeError` since 1.0.7) otherwise.

- `function assertArray(arg: any, name?: string): void;` (since 1.0.7)

  Asserts `arg` is an Array. Throws a `TypeError` otherwise.

- `function assertDefined<T = unknown>(element: T): void;` (since 2.0.1)

  Checks if a given element is defined, i.e., not null or undefined.
  If the element is null or undefined, the function throws a TypeError with a message indicating the name of the element.

  | Parameter | Type | Description                                | Optional? |
  | --------- | ---- | ------------------------------------------ | --------- |
  | `element` | `T`  | The value to be checked for being defined. | No        |

  Throws an error if the element is null or undefined.

  Example:

  ```typescript
  assertDefined(5); // No error thrown
  assertDefined(null); // Throws TypeError: 'element' is null
  assertDefined(undefined); // Throws TypeError: 'element' is undefined
  assertDefined('hello'); // No error thrown
  ```

- `function assertMatch(str: string, re: RegExp, name?: string): void;` (since 2.0.1)

  Asserts `str` matches `re`. Throws a `TypeError` otherwise.

  | Parameter          | Type     | Description                                                                | Optional? |
  | ------------------ | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- |
  | `str`              | `string` | The string to match against `re`.                                          | No        |
  | `re`               | `RegExp` | The regular expression to match `str` against.                             | No        |
  | `name`             | `string` | The displayed name in the `TypeError` thrown if `str` does not match `re`. |
  | Defaults to `str`. | No       |
