Installation 🚀

npm install @jay-es/nano-match

Usage 🛠

match ✨

import { match } from '@jay-es/nano-match';

type Language = 'en' | 'es' | 'fr';

const lang: Language = 'en';

// Strict matching, only allows valid keys of type 'Language'.
const greeting = match(lang, {
  en: "Hello.",
  es: "Hola.",
  fr: "Bonjour.",
});

console.log(greeting); // Output: Hello. (Type: "Hello." | "Hola." | "Bonjour.")

Type Safety 🛡

• match enforces type safety by allowing only valid keys. It ensures that the provided key is of the specified type.

// Compilation error: 'de' is not a valid key of type 'Language'.
const strictGreeting = match('de', {
  en: "Hello.",
  es: "Hola.",
  fr: "Bonjour.",
});

Additional Example 🚀

// Using `match` with numeric keys
const message = match(200, {
  200: "OK",
  404: "Not Found",
  500: "Internal Server Error",
});

console.log(message); // Output: OK (Type: "OK" | "Not Found" | "Internal Server Error")

Additional Feature 🌟

nano-match also provides the following function:

looseMatch 🎈

As an additional feature, looseMatch allows for more flexible matching that accepts keys outside the specified type, returning undefined for keys that do not match.

import { looseMatch } from '@jay-es/nano-match';

// Loose matching, allows keys outside the specified type, returning undefined for non-matching keys.
const nonMatchingKey: string = 'de';
const looseGreeting = looseMatch(nonMatchingKey, {
  en: "Hello.",
  es: "Hola.",
  fr: "Bonjour.",
});

console.log(looseGreeting); // Output: undefined (Type: "Hello." | "Hola." | "Bonjour." | undefined)
