Feedback

I'm new to publishing open source code. If you've got feedback and/or are interested in the library, I'll be very glad to hear from you! Email me at francois at fsavard . com. Specific help might be with:

• general feedback: do you find this useful? how may it be improved?
• new test cases, particularly for type checkers
• new type checkers
• running the test suite in other browsers.
  • To run the tests, simply load the page "tests/tests.html" in a given browser.
  • To date I've tested, with the current test suite:
    • Firefox 2 under Windows XP
    • Firefox 3 under Linux
    • MSIE 6 under Windows XP
    • Opera 9.52 under Windows XP
    • Safari 3 under Windows XP
• code review
• other ideas and features, keeping in mind the goal of simplicity
  • Things I have in mind:
    • Add more basic type checkers: object, has same prototype/constructor as ..., has a specific constructor, perhaps type checked maps. See others generally useful?
    • Adding a set of basic tests (string, function...) that don't need additional function calls, but are instead in a switch-case, for performance. From a clean-code perspective, I like this less than strictly relying on TypeCheckers, though.
    • Add a bypass for production code, so if you're confident enough (from doing unit tests etc.) you don't have to add the type checking overhead to the real code.
    • Allow everything to be added directly to the global namespace for terseness of signatures, but that would clearly pollute that namespace...
