<a name="Overview"></a>## Overview
TypeBox is a runtime type builder that creates in-memory JSON Schema objects that can be statically inferred as TypeScript types. The schemas produced by this library are designed to match the static type assertion rules of the TypeScript compiler. TypeBox enables one to create a unified type that can be statically checked by TypeScript and runtime asserted using standard JSON Schema validation.
This library is designed to enable JSON schema to compose with the same flexibility as TypeScript's type system. It can be used as a simple tool to build up complex schemas or integrated into REST or RPC services to help validate data received over the wire.

The following shows general usage.
```typescriptimport { Static, Type } from '@sinclair/typebox'
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------//// Let's say you have the following type ...////--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
type T = { id: string, name: string, timestamp: number}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------//// ... you can express this type in the following way.////--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
const T = Type.Object({ // const T = { id: Type.String(), // type: 'object', name: Type.String(), // properties: { timestamp: Type.Integer() // id: {}) // type: 'string' // }, // name: { // type: 'string' // }, // timestamp: { // type: 'integer' // } // }, // required: [ // 'id', // 'name', // 'timestamp' // ] // }//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------//// ... then infer back to the original static type this way.////--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
type T = Static<typeof T> // type T = { // id: string, // name: string, // timestamp: number // }//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------//// ... then use the type both as JSON schema and as a TypeScript type.////--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
import { Value } from '@sinclair/typebox/value'
function receive(value: T) { // ... as a Static Type
if(Value.Check(T, value)) { // ... as a JSON Schema // ok... }}```
<a name='types'></a>## Types
TypeBox types are JSON schema fragments that can be composed into more complex types. Each fragment is structured such that a JSON schema compliant validator can runtime assert a value the same way TypeScript will statically assert a type. TypeBox provides a set of Standard types which are used create JSON schema compliant schematics as well as an Extended type set used to create schematics for constructs native to JavaScript.
<a name='types-standard'></a>### Standard Types
The following table lists the Standard TypeBox types. These types are fully compatible with the JSON Schema Draft 6 specification.

<a name='types-extended'></a>### Extended Types
TypeBox provides several extended types that can be used to produce schematics for common JavaScript constructs. These types can not be used with standard JSON schema validators; but are useful to help frame schematics for RPC interfaces that may receive JSON validated data. Extended types are prefixed with the `[Extended]` doc comment for convenience. The following table lists the supported types.
```typescript┌────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────────┐│ TypeBox │ TypeScript │ Extended Schema ││ │ │ │├────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┼────────────────────────────────┤│ const T = Type.Constructor([ │ type T = new ( │ const T = { ││ Type.String(), │ arg0: string, │ type: 'object', ││ Type.Number() │ arg1: number │ instanceOf: 'Constructor', ││ ], Type.Boolean()) │ ) => boolean │ parameters: [{ ││ │ │ type: 'string' ││ │ │ }, { ││ │ │ type: 'number' ││ │ │ }], ││ │ │ return: { ││ │ │ type: 'boolean' ││ │ │ } ││ │ │ } ││ │ │ │├────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┼────────────────────────────────┤│ const T = Type.Function([ │ type T = ( │ const T = { │| Type.String(), │ arg0: string, │ type : 'object', ││ Type.Number() │ arg1: number │ instanceOf: 'Function', ││ ], Type.Boolean()) │ ) => boolean │ parameters: [{ ││ │ │ type: 'string' ││ │ │ }, { ││ │ │ type: 'number' ││ │ │ }], ││ │ │ return: { ││ │ │ type: 'boolean' ││ │ │ } ││ │ │ } ││ │ │ │├────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┼────────────────────────────────┤│ const T = Type.Promise( │ type T = Promise<string> │ const T = { ││ Type.String() │ │ type: 'object', ││ ) │ │ instanceOf: 'Promise', ││ │ │ item: { ││ │ │ type: 'string' ││ │ │ } ││ │ │ } ││ │ │ ││ │ │ │├────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┼────────────────────────────────┤│ const T = Type.Uint8Array() │ type T = Uint8Array │ const T = { ││ │ │ type: 'object', ││ │ │ instanceOf: 'Uint8Array' ││ │ │ } ││ │ │ │├────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┼────────────────────────────────┤│ const T = Type.Date() │ type T = Date │ const T = { ││ │ │ type: 'object', ││ │ │ instanceOf: 'Date' ││ │ │ } ││ │ │ │├────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┼────────────────────────────────┤│ const T = Type.Undefined() │ type T = undefined │ const T = { ││ │ │ type: 'null', ││ │ │ typeOf: 'Undefined' ││ │ │ } ││ │ │ │├────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┼────────────────────────────────┤│ const T = Type.RegEx(/foo/) │ type T = string │ const T = { ││ │ │ type: 'string', ││ │ │ pattern: 'foo' ││ │ │ } ││ │ │ │├────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┼────────────────────────────────┤│ const T = Type.Symbol() │ type T = symbol │ const T = { ││ │ │ type: 'null', ││ │ │ typeOf: 'Symbol' ││ │ │ } ││ │ │ │├────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┼────────────────────────────────┤│ const T = Type.BigInt() │ type T = bigint │ const T = { ││ │ │ type: 'null', ││ │ │ typeOf: 'BigInt' ││ │ │ } ││ │ │ │├────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┼────────────────────────────────┤│ const T = Type.Void() │ type T = void │ const T = { ││ │ │ type: 'null' ││ │ │ typeOf: 'Void' ││ │ │ } ││ │ │ │└────────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────────┴────────────────────────────────┘```
<a name='types-modifiers'></a>### Modifiers
TypeBox provides modifiers that allow schema properties to be statically inferred as `readonly` or `optional`. The following table shows the supported modifiers and how they map between TypeScript and JSON Schema.
```typescript┌────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────────┐│ TypeBox │ TypeScript │ JSON Schema ││ │ │ │├────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┼────────────────────────────────┤│ const T = Type.Object({ │ type T = { │ const T = { ││ name: Type.Optional( │ name?: string │ type: 'object', ││ Type.String() │ } │ properties: { ││ ) │ │ name: { ││ }) │ │ type: 'string' ││ │ │ } ││ │ │ } ││ │ │ } ││ │ │ │├────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┼────────────────────────────────┤│ const T = Type.Object({ │ type T = { │ const T = { ││ name: Type.Readonly( │ readonly name: string │ type: 'object', ││ Type.String() │ } │ properties: { ││ ) │ │ name: { ││ }) │ │ type: 'string' ││ │ │ } ││ │ │ }, ││ │ │ required: ['name'] ││ │ │ } ││ │ │ │├────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┼────────────────────────────────┤│ const T = Type.Object({ │ type T = { │ const T = { ││ name: Type.ReadonlyOptional( │ readonly name?: string │ type: 'object', ││ Type.String() │ } │ properties: { ││ ) │ │ name: { ││ }) │ │ type: 'string' ││ │ │ } ││ │ │ } ││ │ │ } ││ │ │ │└────────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────────┴────────────────────────────────┘```
<a name='types-options'></a>### Options
You can pass JSON Schema options on the last argument of any type. Option hints specific to each type are provided for convenience.
```typescript// String must be an emailconst T = Type.String({ // const T = { format: 'email' // type: 'string',}) // format: 'email' // }// Mumber must be a multiple of 2const T = Type.Number({ // const T = { multipleOf: 2 // type: 'number',}) // multipleOf: 2 // }// Array must have at least 5 integer valuesconst T = Type.Array(Type.Integer(), { // const T = { minItems: 5 // type: 'array',}) // minItems: 5, // items: { // type: 'integer' // } // }```
<a name='types-generics'></a>### Generic Types
Generic types can be created with generic functions constrained to type `TSchema`. The following creates a generic `Vector<T>` type.
```typescriptimport { Type, Static, TSchema } from '@sinclair/typebox'
const Vector = <T extends TSchema>(t: T) => Type.Object({ x: t, y: t, z: t })
const NumberVector = Vector(Type.Number()) // const NumberVector = { // type: 'object', // required: ['x', 'y', 'z'], // properties: { // x: { type: 'number' }, // y: { type: 'number' }, // z: { type: 'number' } // } // }type NumberVector = Static<typeof NumberVector> // type NumberVector = { // x: number, // y: number, // z: number // }const BooleanVector = Vector(Type.Boolean()) // const BooleanVector = { // type: 'object', // required: ['x', 'y', 'z'], // properties: { // x: { type: 'boolean' }, // y: { type: 'boolean' }, // z: { type: 'boolean' } // } // }type BooleanVector = Static<typeof BooleanVector> // type BooleanVector = { // x: boolean, // y: boolean, // z: boolean // }```
The following creates a generic `Nullable<T>` type.
```typescriptconst Nullable = <T extends TSchema>(schema: T) => Type.Union([schema, Type.Null()])
const T = Nullable(Type.String()) // const T = { // anyOf: [ // { type: 'string' }, // { type: 'null' } // ] // }type T = Static<typeof T> // type T = string | null```
<a name='types-references'></a>### Reference Types
Reference types are supported with `Type.Ref`. The target type must specify a valid `$id`.
```typescriptconst T = Type.String({ $id: 'T' }) // const T = { // $id: 'T', // type: 'string' // }const R = Type.Ref(T) // const R = { // $ref: 'T' // }```
<a name='types-recursive'></a>### Recursive Types
Recursive types are supported with `Type.Recursive`
```typescriptconst Node = Type.Recursive(Node => Type.Object({ // const Node = { id: Type.String(), // $id: 'Node', nodes: Type.Array(Node) // type: 'object',}), { $id: 'Node' }) // properties: { // id: { // type: 'string' // }, // nodes: { // type: 'array', // items: { // $ref: 'Node' // } // } // }, // required: [ // 'id', // 'nodes' // ] // }type Node = Static<typeof Node> // type Node = { // id: string // nodes: Node[] // }function test(node: Node) { const id = node.nodes[0].nodes[0].id // id is string}```
<a name='types-conditional'></a>### Conditional Types
Conditional types are supported with `Type.Extends`, `Type.Exclude` and `Type.Extract`
```typescript// TypeScript
type T0 = string extends number ? true : false // type T0 = false
type T1 = Extract<string | number, number> // type T1 = number
type T2 = Exclude<string | number, number> // type T2 = string
// TypeBox
const T0 = Type.Extends(Type.String(), Type.Number(), Type.Literal(true), Type.Literal(false))
const T1 = Type.Extract(Type.Union([Type.String(), Type.Number()]), Type.Number())
const T2 = Type.Exclude(Type.Union([Type.String(), Type.Number()]), Type.Number())
type T0 = Static<typeof T0> // type T0 = false
type T1 = Static<typeof T1> // type T1 = number
type T2 = Static<typeof T2> // type T2 = string```
<a name='types-template-literal'></a>### Template Literal Types
TypeBox supports Template Literal types using `Type.TemplateLiteral`. These types can be created using a simple template DSL syntax, however more complex template literals can be created by passing an array of literal and union types. The examples below show the template DSL syntax.
```typescript// TypeScript
type P = `/post/${string}/user/${number}` // type P = `/post/${string}/user/${number}`
type T = `option${'A'|'B'}` // type T = 'optionA' | 'optionB'
type R = Record<T, string> // type R = { // optionA: string // optionB: string // }// TypeBox
const P = Type.TemplateLiteral('/post/${string}/user/${number}')
// const P = { // type: 'string', // pattern: '^/post/(.*)/user/(0|[1-9][0-9]*)$' // }const T = Type.TemplateLiteral('option${A|B}') // const T = { // pattern: '^option(A|B)$', // type: 'string' // }const R = Type.Record(T, Type.String()) // const R = { // type: 'object', // required: ['optionA', 'optionB'], // properties: { // optionA: { // type: 'string' // }, // optionB: { // type: 'string' // } // } // }```
<a name='types-indexed'></a>### Indexed Access Types
TypeBox supports Indexed Access types using `Type.Index`. This feature provides a consistent way to access property types without having to extract them from the underlying schema representation. Indexed accessors are supported for object and tuples, as well as nested union and intersect types.
```typescriptconst T = Type.Object({ // const T = { x: Type.Number(), // type: 'object', y: Type.String(), // required: ['x', 'y', 'z'], z: Type.Boolean() // properties: {}) // x: { type: 'number' }, // y: { type: 'string' }, // z: { type: 'string' } // } // }const A = Type.Index(T, ['x']) // const A = { type: 'number' }
const B = Type.Index(T, ['x', 'y']) // const B = { // anyOf: [ // { type: 'number' }, // { type: 'string' } // ] // }const C = Type.Index(T, Type.KeyOf(T)) // const C = { // anyOf: [ // { type: 'number' }, // { type: 'string' }, // { type: 'boolean' } // ] // }```
<a name='types-rest'></a>### Rest Types
Rest parameters are supported with `Type.Rest`. This function is used to extract interior type elements from tuples which enables them to compose with the JavaScript spread operator `...`. This type can be used for tuple concatenation as well as for variadic functions.
```typescript// TypeScript
type T = [number, number] // type T = [number, number]
type C = [...T, number] // type C = [number, number, number]
type F = (...param: C) => void // type F = ( // param0: number, // param1: number, // param2: number // ) => void// TypeBox
const T = Type.Tuple([ // const T: TTuple<[ Type.Number(), // TNumber, Type.Number() // TNumber]) // ]>
const C = Type.Tuple([ // const C: TTuple<[ ...Type.Rest(T), // TNumber, Type.Number() // TNumber,]) // TNumber // ]>const F = Type.Function(Type.Rest(C), Type.Void()) // const F: TFunction<[ // TNumber, // TNumber, // TNumber // ], TVoid>```<a name='types-unsafe'></a>### Unsafe Types
Use `Type.Unsafe` to create custom schematics with user defined inference rules.
```typescriptconst T = Type.Unsafe<string>({ type: 'number' }) // const T = { // type: 'number' // }type T = Static<typeof T> // type T = string```
The `Type.Unsafe` type can be useful to express specific OpenAPI schema representations.
```typescriptimport { Type, Static, TSchema } from '@sinclair/typebox'
// Nullable<T>
function Nullable<T extends TSchema>(schema: T) { return Type.Unsafe<Static<T> | null>({ ...schema, nullable: true })}
const T = Nullable(Type.String()) // const T = { // type: 'string', // nullable: true // }type T = Static<typeof T> // type T = string | null
// StringEnum<string[]>
function StringEnum<T extends string[]>(values: [...T]) { return Type.Unsafe<T[number]>({ type: 'string', enum: values })}
const T = StringEnum(['A', 'B', 'C']) // const T = { // enum: ['A', 'B', 'C'] // }type T = Static<typeof T> // type T = 'A' | 'B' | 'C'```
<a name='types-guards'></a>### Type Guards
TypeBox provides a `TypeGuard` module that can be used for reflection and asserting values as types.
```typescriptimport { Type, TypeGuard } from '@sinclair/typebox'
const T = Type.String()
if(TypeGuard.TString(T)) {
// T is TString}```
<a name='types-strict'></a>### Strict
TypeBox schemas contain the `Kind` and `Modifier` symbol properties. These properties are used for type composition and reflection. These properties are not strictly valid JSON schema; so in some cases it may be desirable to omit them. TypeBox provides a `Type.Strict` function that will omit these properties if necessary.
```typescriptconst T = Type.Object({ // const T = { name: Type.Optional(Type.String()) // [Kind]: 'Object',}) // type: 'object', // properties: { // name: { // [Kind]: 'String', // type: 'string', // [Modifier]: 'Optional' // } // } // }const U = Type.Strict(T) // const U = { // type: 'object', // properties: { // name: { // type: 'string' // } // } // }```
<a name='values'></a>## Values
TypeBox provides an optional utility module that can be used to perform common operations on JavaScript values. This module includes functionality to create, check and cast values from types as well as check equality, clone, diff and patch JavaScript values. This module is provided via optional import.
```typescriptimport { Value } from '@sinclair/typebox/value'```
<a name='values-create'></a>### Create
Use the Create function to create a value from a type. TypeBox will use default values if specified.
```typescriptconst T = Type.Object({ x: Type.Number(), y: Type.Number({ default: 42 }) })
const A = Value.Create(T) // const A = { x: 0, y: 42 }```
<a name='values-clone'></a>### Clone
Use the Clone function to deeply clone a value
```typescriptconst A = Value.Clone({ x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 }) // const A = { x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 }```
<a name='values-check'></a>### Check
Use the Check function to type check a value
```typescriptconst T = Type.Object({ x: Type.Number() })
const R = Value.Check(T, { x: 1 }) // const R = true```
<a name='values-convert'></a>### Convert
Use the Convert function to convert a value into its target type if a reasonable conversion is possible.
```typescriptconst T = Type.Object({ x: Type.Number() })
const R1 = Value.Convert(T, { x: '3.14' }) // const R1 = { x: 3.14 }
const R2 = Value.Convert(T, { x: 'not a number' }) // const R2 = { x: 'not a number' }```
<a name='values-cast'></a>### Cast
Use the Cast function to cast a value into a type. The cast function will retain as much information as possible from the original value.
```typescriptconst T = Type.Object({ x: Type.Number(), y: Type.Number() }, { additionalProperties: false })
const X = Value.Cast(T, null) // const X = { x: 0, y: 0 }
const Y = Value.Cast(T, { x: 1 }) // const Y = { x: 1, y: 0 }
const Z = Value.Cast(T, { x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 }) // const Z = { x: 1, y: 2 }```
<a name='values-equal'></a>### Equal
Use the Equal function to deeply check for value equality.
```typescriptconst R = Value.Equal( // const R = true { x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 }, { x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 })```
<a name='values-hash'></a>### Hash
Use the Hash function to create a [FNV1A-64](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fowler%E2%80%93Noll%E2%80%93Vo_hash_function) non cryptographic hash of a value.
```typescriptconst A = Value.Hash({ x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 }) // const A = 2910466848807138541n
const B = Value.Hash({ x: 1, y: 4, z: 3 }) // const B = 1418369778807423581n```
<a name='values-diff'></a>### Diff
Use the Diff function to produce a sequence of edits to transform one value into another.
```typescriptconst E = Value.Diff( // const E = [ { x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 }, // { type: 'update', path: '/y', value: 4 }, { y: 4, z: 5, w: 6 } // { type: 'update', path: '/z', value: 5 },) // { type: 'insert', path: '/w', value: 6 }, // { type: 'delete', path: '/x' } // ]```
<a name='values-patch'></a>### Patch
Use the Patch function to apply edits
```typescriptconst A = { x: 1, y: 2 }
const B = { x: 3 }
const E = Value.Diff(A, B) // const E = [ // { type: 'update', path: '/x', value: 3 }, // { type: 'delete', path: '/y' } // ]const C = Value.Patch<typeof B>(A, E) // const C = { x: 3 }```
<a name='values-errors'></a>### Errors
Use the Errors function enumerate validation errors.
```typescriptconst T = Type.Object({ x: Type.Number(), y: Type.Number() })
const R = [...Value.Errors(T, { x: '42' })] // const R = [{ // schema: { type: 'number' }, // path: '/x', // value: '42', // message: 'Expected number' // }, { // schema: { type: 'number' }, // path: '/y', // value: undefined, // message: 'Expected number' // }]```
<a name='values-mutate'></a>### Mutate
Use the Mutate function to perform a deep mutable value assignment while retaining internal references.
```typescriptconst Y = { z: 1 } // const Y = { z: 1 }
const X = { y: Y } // const X = { y: { z: 1 } }
const A = { x: X } // const A = { x: { y: { z: 1 } } }
Value.Mutate(A, { x: { y: { z: 2 } } }) // const A' = { x: { y: { z: 2 } } }
const R0 = A.x.y.z === 2 // const R0 = true
const R1 = A.x.y === Y // const R1 = true
const R2 = A.x === X // const R2 = true```
<a name='values-pointer'></a>### Pointer
Use ValuePointer to perform mutable updates on existing values using [RFC6901](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6901) JSON Pointers.
```typescriptimport { ValuePointer } from '@sinclair/typebox/value'
const A = { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 }
ValuePointer.Set(A, '/x', 1) // const A' = { x: 1, y: 0, z: 0 }
ValuePointer.Set(A, '/y', 1) // const A' = { x: 1, y: 1, z: 0 }
ValuePointer.Set(A, '/z', 1) // const A' = { x: 1, y: 1, z: 1 }```
<a name='typecheck'></a>## TypeCheck
TypeBox types target JSON Schema draft 6 so are compatible with any validator that supports this specification. TypeBox also provides a built in type checking compiler designed specifically for high performance compilation and value assertion.
The following sections detail using Ajv and TypeBox's compiler infrastructure.
<a name='typecheck-ajv'></a>## Ajv
The following shows the recommended setup for Ajv.
```bash$ npm install ajv ajv-formats --save```
```typescriptimport { Type } from '@sinclair/typebox'import addFormats from 'ajv-formats'import Ajv from 'ajv'
const ajv = addFormats(new Ajv({}), [ 'date-time', 'time', 'date', 'email', 'hostname', 'ipv4', 'ipv6', 'uri', 'uri-reference', 'uuid', 'uri-template', 'json-pointer', 'relative-json-pointer', 'regex'])
const C = ajv.compile(Type.Object({ x: Type.Number(), y: Type.Number(), z: Type.Number()}))
const R = C({ x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 }) // const R = true```
<a name='typecheck-typecompiler'></a>### TypeCompiler
The TypeBox TypeCompiler is a high performance JIT compiler that transforms TypeBox types into optimized JavaScript validation routines. The compiler is tuned for fast compilation as well as fast value assertion. It is designed to serve as a validation backend that can be integrated into larger applications; but can also be used as a general purpose validator.
The TypeCompiler is provided as an optional import.
```typescriptimport { TypeCompiler } from '@sinclair/typebox/compiler'```
Use the `Compile(...)` function to compile a type. Note that compilation is an expensive operation that should typically be performed once per type during application start up. TypeBox does not cache previously compiled types, so applications are expected to hold references to each compiled type for the lifetime of the application.
```typescriptconst C = TypeCompiler.Compile(Type.Object({ // const C: TypeCheck<TObject<{ x: Type.Number(), // x: TNumber; y: Type.Number(), // y: TNumber; z: Type.Number() // z: TNumber;})) // }>>
const R = C.Check({ x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 }) // const R = true```
Use the `Errors(...)` function to produce diagnostic errors for a value. The `Errors(...)` function will return an iterator that if enumerated; will perform an exhaustive check across the entire value and yield any error found. For performance, this function should only be called after failed `Check(...)`. Applications may also choose to yield only the first value to avoid exhaustive error generation.
```typescriptconst C = TypeCompiler.Compile(Type.Object({ // const C: TypeCheck<TObject<{ x: Type.Number(), // x: TNumber; y: Type.Number(), // y: TNumber; z: Type.Number() // z: TNumber;})) // }>>
const value = { }
const errors = [...C.Errors(value)] // const errors = [{ // schema: { type: 'number' }, // path: '/x', // value: undefined, // message: 'Expected number' // }, { // schema: { type: 'number' }, // path: '/y', // value: undefined, // message: 'Expected number' // }, { // schema: { type: 'number' }, // path: '/z', // value: undefined, // message: 'Expected number' // }]```
Compiled routines can be inspected with the `.Code()` function.
```typescriptconst C = TypeCompiler.Compile(Type.String()) // const C: TypeCheck<TString>
console.log(C.Code()) // return function check(value) { // return ( // (typeof value === 'string') // ) // }```
<a name='typesystem'></a>## TypeSystem
The TypeBox TypeSystem module provides functionality to define types above and beyond the Standard and Extended type sets as well as control various assertion policies. Configurations made to the TypeSystem module are observed by both `TypeCompiler` and `Value` modules.
The TypeSystem module is provided as an optional import.
```typescriptimport { TypeSystem } from '@sinclair/typebox/system'```
<a name='typesystem-types'></a>### Types
Use the `Type(...)` function to create custom types. This function lets you specify custom value assertion logic and will return a type factory function which is used to instance the type. This function accepts two generic arguments, the first is the inference type, the second is options used to constrain the type. The following creates a Vector type.
```typescripttype VectorOptions = { abs: boolean }
type Vector = { x: number, y: number }
const Vector = TypeSystem.Type<Vector, VectorOptions>('Vector', (options, value) => { return ( typeof value === 'object' && value !== null && 'x' in value && typeof value.x === 'number' && 'y' in value && typeof value.y === 'number' && (options.abs ? (value.x === Math.abs(value.x) && value.y === Math.abs(value.y)) : true) )})
const T = Vector({ abs: true })
type T = Static<typeof T> // type T = Vector
const R1 = Value.Check(T, { x: 1, y: 1 }) // const R1 = true
const R2 = Value.Check(T, { x: 1, y: '1' }) // const R2 = false
const R3 = Value.Check(T, { x: 1, y: -1 }) // const R3 = false```
<a name='typesystem-formats'></a>### Formats
Use the `Format(...)` function to create a custom string format. The following creates a format that checks for lowercase strings.
```typescriptTypeSystem.Format('lowercase', value => value === value.toLowerCase()) // format should be lowercase
const T = Type.String({ format: 'lowercase' })
const A = Value.Check(T, 'Hello') // const A = false
const B = Value.Check(T, 'hello') // const B = true```
<a name='typesystem-policies'></a>### Policies
TypeBox validates using standard JSON Schema assertion policies by default. It is possible to override some of these policies to have TypeBox assert inline with TypeScript static assertion rules. The following policy overrides are available.
```typescript// Disallow undefined values for optional properties (default is false)//// const A: { x?: number } = { x: undefined } - disallowed when enabled
TypeSystem.ExactOptionalPropertyTypes = true
// Allow arrays to validate as object types (default is false)//// const A: {} = [] - allowed in TS
TypeSystem.AllowArrayObjects = true
// Allow numeric values to be NaN or + or - Infinity (default is false)//// const A: number = NaN - allowed in TS
TypeSystem.AllowNaN = true```
<a name='workbench'></a>## Workbench
