Smaller Validator

This module is small but easy to use. The purpose of this module is to check if the source is smaller in value than the target value, and optionally if there length are equal. This module can work with numbers and strings.

Validation processes

The code checks that the source is smaller than the value.

Code sample

This following code is actually how I tested that all methods correctly functioned as intended, is also provided in this module.

import { valueIsSmaller } from '@teamcoder/smallervalidator';

console.log( "Testing Condition  1 Passed = " + !valueIsSmaller( 15  , 14          ) );
console.log( "Testing Condition  2 Passed = " + !valueIsSmaller( 'b' , 'a'         ) );
console.log( "Testing Condition  3 Passed = " + valueIsSmaller(  14  , 15          ) );
console.log( "Testing Condition  4 Passed = " + valueIsSmaller(  'a' , 'b'         ) );
console.log( "Testing Condition  5 Passed = " + !valueIsSmaller( 15  , 15  , false ) );
console.log( "Testing Condition  6 Passed = " + !valueIsSmaller( 'a' , 'a' , false ) );
console.log( "Testing Condition  7 Passed = " + valueIsSmaller(  15  , 15  , true  ) );
console.log( "Testing Condition  8 Passed = " + valueIsSmaller(  'a' , 'a' , true  ) );

The results will look as follows

Testing Condition  1 Passed = true
Testing Condition  2 Passed = true
Testing Condition  3 Passed = true
Testing Condition  4 Passed = true
Testing Condition  5 Passed = true
Testing Condition  6 Passed = true
Testing Condition  7 Passed = true
Testing Condition  8 Passed = true

Without this entry in the package file you will get the following error if you try to run your project
