MetaForge V0.4.0

Update 2023-11-05

• Support latest:21 node version

• Removed parser (maybe temporary)

• TypeScript .d.ts support

• Schema field with multiple type variants now works only with special type union

• Modular mechanism (internal rework): How it works

  const schema = new Schema();
  schema.register((schema, options, plan) => {}); //? Register new module

  By default registrated modules are:

  • Metatest module (Adds tests for prototypes)
  • Metatype module (Typescript parser)
  • Handyman (Quality of life module)

  But you also remove default modules:

  Schema.modules.delete('metatest');

• New shorthands for:

  • enum example: ['winter', 'spring', 'summer, 'autumn']
  • tuple example: ['string', 'number']
  • object example: { a: string, b: number }
  • string example: 'string'
  • schema example: 'MyGlobalSchema'
  • schema#2 example: new Schema('string')

• Removed preprocessor mechanism

• Schemas now can be part of plan

• Performance improvements (by removing unnecessary modules)

• Lightweight inheritance

• Removed type JSON (temporary)

• Prototype chaining

• Partial testing

• New prototypes:

  • Tuple
  • Record
  • Schema
  • Union
