Cautious

Cautious contains utility functions written in javascript.

Purpose

We deal with a lot of dirty data. We find ourselves rewriting a lot of the same null-checking and try-catching patterns because we can't guarantee that the data we are processing is clean. Instead of rewriting again and again, we wrote some convenience functions with null-checking and try-catching inside of them and use those throughout our tech stack.

When not to use this

Your data is clean and reliably sticks to a certain schema.

Examples

Before

if (Array.isArray(languages) && language.length > 1) {
  console.log("languages are", languages)
}

After

if (some(languages)) {
  console.log("languages are", languages)
}
