Safe Proxy for TypeScript

The safe-proxy-ts package provides a safe way to access deeply nested properties in TypeScript objects, preventing runtime errors due to null or undefined values.

Documentation

Visit the project documentation for more details about the API and usage examples.

Quickstart

Install the Safe Proxy package using your preferred package manager:

npm install safe-proxy-ts
pnpm add safe-proxy-ts
bun add safe-proxy-ts

Then, import the SafeProxy function and wrap your object to safely access nested properties:

import SafeProxy from 'safe-proxy-ts';

interface Address {
  street: string | null;
  city: string | null;
  location: {
    lat: number | null;
    lng: number | null;
  } | null;
}

interface Person {
  name: string | null;
  age: number | null;
  addresses: Address[] | null;
  company: {
    name: string | null;
    address: Address | null;
  } | null;
  getGreeting?: () => string | null;
}

const complexPerson: Person = {
  name: null,
  age: 25,
  addresses: [
    {
      street: null,
      city: null,
      location: null,
    },
    {
      street: 'Street2',
      city: 'City2',
      location: {
        lat: 40.7128,
        lng: -74.0060,
      },
    },
  ],
  company: {
    name: 'Company1',
    address: {
      street: 'Company Street',
      city: null,
      location: {
        lat: 51.5074,
        lng: -0.1278,
      },
    },
  },
  getGreeting: () => 'Hello',
};

const safePerson = SafeProxy(complexPerson);

console.log(safePerson.name); // undefined
console.log(safePerson.age); // 25
console.log(safePerson.addresses[0].street); // undefined
console.log(safePerson.addresses[0].location.lat); // undefined
console.log(safePerson.addresses[1].street); // 'Street2'
console.log(safePerson.addresses[1].location.lat); // 40.7128
console.log(safePerson.addresses[1].location.lng); // -74.0060
console.log(safePerson.company.name); // 'Company1'
console.log(safePerson.company.address.city); // undefined
console.log(safePerson.company.address.location.lat); // 51.5074
console.log(safePerson.company.address.location.lng); // -0.1278
console.log(safePerson.getGreeting()); // 'Hello'

Using a CDN

You can use automatic CDNs like UNPKG to load the library from a script tag.

<!-- Unminified -->
<script src="https://www.unpkg.com/safe-proxy-ts@latest/dist/safe-proxy-ts.umd.js"></script>
<!-- Minified -->
<script src="https://www.unpkg.com/safe-proxy-ts@latest/dist/safe-proxy-ts.umd.min.js"></script>

The script creates a global SafeProxy variable. Here's how you create a safe proxy object.

<script>
  const safePerson = SafeProxy(complexPerson);
  console.log(safePerson.name); // undefined
</script>
