Io-ts Alternatives

io-ts reviews and mentions

• TDD

  Qué rico. Si tenés chance meté un proceso de code review fuerte, y para el tema de I/O probá a usar https://github.com/Effect-TS/schema ó https://github.com/gcanti/io-ts que les da una solución obvia al tema de "tipos para lo que devuelva el backend", aunque es en realidad mucho más capaz que eso.

• Domain modelling with State Machines and TypeScript by Carlton Upperdine
  3 projects | /r/programming | 30 May 2023

  My fave is still io-ts (https://github.com/gcanti/io-ts/blob/master/docs/index.md) as I find it more flexible than zod at the ingress. The author is also working on the Effect ecosystem which also looks interesting.

• Why I Like Using Maps (and WeakMaps) for Handling DOM Nodes
  1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 6 May 2023

  I’ve been using io-ts for this and been very happy with it. [1] It’s similar to Swift’s Coding protocol in case you’re familiar.

• Can someone recommend a library for data parsing similar to Zod, but with better support for input transformations/preprocessing?
  2 projects | /r/typescript | 30 Apr 2023

  Yeah, there are a few new concepts and it's not the easiest to pick up right away. The best introduction is here on the main documentation page.

• libraries you are happy that you discovered them

• Is React for small projects an Overkill?

• how to strictly type this?
  1 project | /r/typescript | 19 Nov 2022

  We use https://github.com/gcanti/io-ts/blob/master/Decoder.md which has a very similar interface. It can even be used to mutate the data using https://github.com/gcanti/io-ts/blob/master/Decoder.md#the-parse-combinator.

• Typescript advanced bits: function overloading, never and unknown types
  3 projects | dev.to | 10 Nov 2022

  A good way to significantly improve the reliability of your app is via improving type-safety by moving away from using any to unknown. One relevant example could be when you type your backend responses and when stringifying JSON to using unknown combined with some sort of runtime type checking. It can be done either by using built-in functionality like type guards or using an external library like io-ts, zod or yup.

• I found 10,000x faster TypeScript validator library
  5 projects | dev.to | 1 Nov 2022

  Usage of TypeBox is similar with io-ts and zod, but it is much powerful and faster than them. Also, TypeBox can generate JSON schema very easily. Therefore, if you're looking for a validator library for new project and not suffering from legacy codes, I think TypeBox would be much better choice than io-ts and zod. TypeBox can totally replace them.

• Validate your data with Zod
  2 projects | dev.to | 31 Oct 2022

  This check can be done with different libraries like: io-ts, typebox, or zod. These libraries allow you to create objects that represent your typescript definitions. Then, these objects can be used at runtime to validate the received data, in addition, you can also convert this object to a Typescript definition to have all the benefits of using typescript. These objects can be called schema validations because they are responsible for the data validation.
