• Numbers
• Strings
• Strings + Arrays
• Arrays
• Truthiness
• Primitives
• Negation
• Combinators

match-iz provides a number of composable matchers you can use to build patterns:

Numbers	Strings	Strings/Arrays	Arrays	Truthiness	Primitives	Negation	Combinators
gt(n)	startsWith('s')	includes(o)	some(...)	empty	isArray	not(...)	allOf(...)
lt(n)	endsWith('s')	-	every(...)	falsy	isDate	-	anyOf(...)
gte(n)	-	-	-	defined	isFunction	-	firstOf(...)
lte(n)	-	-	-	truthy	isNumber	-	lastOf(...)
inRange(x,y)	-	-	-	-	isPojo	-	includedIn(...)
-	-	-	-	-	isRegExp	-	hasOwn(...)
-	-	-	-	-	isString	-	-
-	-	-	-	-	instanceOf	-	-

Just import them from match-iz as you do the core library:

import { gt, lt, ...etc } from 'match-iz'

Numbers

Matchers	Meaning
gt / lt / gte / lte / inRange	number comparisons

match(5)(
  when(3, 'Exactly 3'),
  when(gt(0), 'Greater than 0'),
  when(gte(4), 'Greater than or equal to 4'),
  when(lt(10), 'Less than 10'),
  when(lte(9), 'Less than or equal to 9'),
  when(inRange(5, 10), 'Between 5 and 10 inclusive')
)

---

Strings

Matchers	Meaning
startsWith / endsWith	string comparisons

match('lorem ipsum')(
  when('lipsum', 'Exactly "lipsum"'),
  when(startsWith('ip'), 'Starts with "ip"'),
  when(endsWith('um'), 'Ends with "um"')
)

---

Strings + Arrays

Helper	Meaning
includes	string/array comparisons

match('lorem ipsum')(
  when(includes('em'), 'Got "em"'),
  when(includes('zap'), 'Found "zap"')
)

match([1, 2, 3, 4])(
  when(includes(5), 'Array has a 5'),
  when([1, 2, 3, gt(3)], 'Array is [1, 2, 3, >3]')
)

---

Arrays

Matchers	Meaning
some / every	array item comparisons

match(array)(
  when(every(isNumber), 'all items are numbers'),
  when(some(isNumber), 'some items are numbers'),
  when(every({ id: isNumber }), 'all items have an id property')
)

---

Truthiness

Matchers	Meaning
empty / defined / falsy / truthy	bottom-value comparisons

match('')(
  when(empty, () => {
    return "It's '', {}, [], null, undefined, or NaN"
  }),
  when(defined, 'Opposite of empty'),
  when(falsy, "It's falsy"),
  when(truthy, "It's truthy")
)

---

Primitives

Matchers	Meaning
isArray / isDate / isFunction / isNumber / isPojo / isRegExp / isString / instanceOf	primitive comparisons

match([1, 2, 3])(
  when(isArray, 'Looks like an array, eh?'),
  when(instanceOf(Component), 'A nice component')
)

---

Negation

Helper	Meaning
not	negation

match(5)(
  when(not(5), 'Not a 5'),
  when(not(gte(4)), 'Less than 4'),
  when(not(inRange(100, 0)), () => {
    return 'Less than 0 or greater than 100'
  })
)

---

Combinators

Matchers	Meaning
allOf / anyOf / firstOf / lastOf / includedIn / hasOwn / isStrictly	combinators

match({ one: 1, two: 2, three: [1, 2, 'a'] })(
  when(allOf(isPojo, hasOwn('one')), () => {
    return 'Has "one"'
  }),
  when({ one: anyOf(1, 2, 3) }, () => {
    return 'Has "one" of 1, 2, or 3'
  }),
  when({ two: includedIn(1, gt(3)) }, () => {
    return 'Has "two" with a value of 1 or >3'
  }),
  when({ three: lastOf(isString) }, () => {
    return 'Has "three" with a string value in the last position'
  })
)

const obj = { one: 1, two: 2 }

match([1, 'a', 3, 4, 5, 6, obj])(
  when(lastOf(isNumber, isString), () => {
    return 'last two items are a number and a string'
  }),
  when(firstOf(isNumber, isString), () => {
    return 'first two items are a number and a string'
  }),
  when(lastOf(isStrictly(obj)), () => {
    return 'last item is strictly equal to the object'
  })
)
