Support alternative verbose syntax
This is a proposal for a potential enhancement to the syntax.
The short syntax is great; however, for those that need it, the verbose syntax would support:
- Coercion
- Validation
- Alternative Key Name
Example:
var toBoolean = require('truthy')
var isBoolean = require('util').isBoolean
module.exports = deo({
server: {
cors: {
default: true,
coerce: toBoolean,
check: isBoolean,
key: 'CORS_ENABLED'
}
}
})
What are your thoughts on https://github.com/hapijs/joi. Is this something that we potentially want to leverage?
I use Joi and I think it's great in the right context but think it would be overkill for this. On the other hand, I do realize there are some users that would prefer such a thing as some may not be aware how easy it is to validate a simple value or two.
I dunno...I'm torn. I'd lean toward keeping it lean to start and provide examples then if we still need it, perhaps look into adding it.
I have no issue with Joi; however, do consider that if we require it, we can no longer in good conscience call this lightweight
