Extend the matcher universe beyond string | number so a union can carry boolean, null and undefined members. true|false, null and undefined are not property keys, so handler keys are their stringification while the callback still receives the real member. Symbols are rejected (a brand is compile-time only) and bigint is not a property key.
tiny-pattern-ts
Pattern matching for TypeScript/ESM environments (F#-style, not regex).
Description
tiny-pattern-ts brings F#-style pattern matching to TypeScript. Patterns are
ordinary objects whose matches method is a TypeScript type guard, so narrowing
composes the way any other guard does. It is deliberately not a regex engine and
not a macro: there is no transpiler and no DSL to learn, and the type-level
contract is the feature — see development/library.md
for the design decisions and the known limitations.
Requirements
- Node.js >= 26 (
enginesfield; pinned via.node-version). - TypeScript >= 5.0 to consume the published declarations. The emitted
.d.tsuseconsttype parameters (TS 5.0) and keep their relative.tsspecifiers; both resolve on TS >= 5.0 innode10/node16/nodenext/bundler. - The package is ESM-only (no CommonJS shim).
