ow-lite

Lightweight replacement for the ow validation library meant for browser usage.

NPM Build Status JavaScript Style Guide

Install

npm install --save ow-lite

Why

ow-lite supports the most practical ow usage and is 30x smaller, which is really important for browser usage.

Library Size Minified GZip
ow@0.5.0 119.61kb 65.95kb 17.58kb
ow-lite 6kb 2.2kb 903b

ow-lite has the following drawbacks:

  • less verbose error messages
  • less support for uncommon types and predicate methods

Usage

You may use ow-lite as a mostly drop-in replacement for ow. It supports the following types:

  • number
  • string
  • object

Webpack's resolve.alias is a solid option for replacing ow with ow-lite at build time. See also ow-shim if you want to replace ow usage with noops in production.
