coerce

coerce<T, Input>(schema: Schema<T, Input>, coercer: Object): Object

Type Parameters

T
Input

Parameters

```
schema: Schema<T, Input>
```
```
coercer: Object
```

Returns Object

Example: Building x.numberFromString

import { x } from 'unhoax'
import pipe from 'just-pipe' // or from elsewhere

const numberFromString = pipe(
   x.string,
   x.coerce(x.number, Number),
)
numberFromString.parse('42') // { success: true, value: 42 }
numberFromString.parse(42)   // { success: false, … } 42 is not a string

Example: not using pipe

const coerceAsNumber = x.coerce(x.number, Number)
const numberFromString = coerceAsNumber(x.string)

numberFromString.parse('42') // { success: true, value: 42 }
