You can’t fool me. There ain’t no santy clause!
– Chico Marx
Sanity clause is a data validation/contract library. You might use it for configuration data, validating an api response, or documents from a datastore. In a dynamically typed language, it helps you define clearly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty. We should love our users, but we should never blindly trust their inputs.
To make use of it, you define schemas, which can be property lists with keys and instances of :class:‘sanity-clause.field:field‘ subclasses as values (eg. :class:‘sanity-clause.field:integer-field‘, :class:‘sanity-clause.field:string-field‘, &c.) or using the class-based interface via :class:‘sanity-clause.schema:validated-metaclass‘. For example::
(list :name (make-field :string) :age (make-field :integer))
You can load these sorts of schemas from a file by writing them as sexps with keywords, like this::
schema.sexp
(:key (:string :validator (:not-empty) :default "potato")
:key2 (:integer :validator ((:int :min 0)) :default 2))
and then loading them using :function:‘sanity-clause.loadable-schema:load-schema‘ to load them.
To use class-based schemas using :class:‘sanity-clause:validated-metaclass‘ you can do things like::
(defclass person ()
((favorite-dog :type symbol
:field-type :member
:members (:wedge :walter)
:required t)
(age :type (integer 0)
:required t)
(potato :type string
:required t))
(:metaclass sanity-clause:validated-metaclass))
which will validate their initargs when you instantiate them (**BUT NOT WHEN YOU SET SLOTS**). Hopefully, that will be added eventually, perhaps as an optional feature.

sanity-clauseMain package of the :package:‘sanity-clause‘ system.
:package:‘sanity-clause‘ helps define data contracts like "this field will always have a valid integer greater than zero in it". It’s also useful for serializing and deserializing data to and from different formats. Contracts are built in the form of schemas, which are composed of :class:‘sanity-clause.field:field‘ s.
for example::
(setq schema (list :name (make-field ’string)
:age (make-field ’integer :validator (lambda (v) (unless (> v 0) "impossible age!")))))
(setq some-data ’((:name . "matt")
(:age . "7")))
(load schema some-data)
;; => (:name "matt" :age 7)
;; note: the string for age got converted by DESERIALIZE from a string to an integer.
To learn more about what fields exist, check out :package:‘sanity-clause.field‘.
To see more validation functions, check out :package:‘sanity-clause.validator‘.
To see how to load a schema from a file or keyword spec, check out :package:‘sanity-clause.schema‘.
alexandria.
common-lisp.
sanity-clause.protocol.
sanity-clause.loadable-schemaLoadable schemas can be expressed as plists of keywords and then can be loaded by :function:‘load‘, either from a file, or a list.
You could, for example, define the configuration of a program that reads from the environment with::
(setq schema (sanity-clause.loadable-schema:load #P"my-schema.sexp"))
And then you could load it from the environment with::
(sanity-clause.schema:load schema :env)
your “my-schema.sexp“ might look like::
(:name (:string :validator (:not-empty) :default "lisa" :required t)
:age (:integer :validator ((:int :min 0)) :required t))

sanity-clause.schemaThe :class:‘validated-metaclass‘ is a way of defining classes that have contracts enforced for them.
::
(defclass person ()
((favorite-dog :type symbol
:field-type :member
:members (:wedge :walter)
:data-key "favoriteDog"
:required t)
(age :type (integer 0)
:data-key "age"
:required t)
(potato :type string
:data-key "potato"
:required t))
(:metaclass validated-metaclass))
The above defines a class that can be instantiated with :function:‘sanity-clause.protocol:load, but will error if the initargs don’t satisfy the contract required by the field.
::
(sanity-clause:load ’person ’(("favoriteDog" . "wedge")
("age" . 10)
("potato" . "weasel"))
Some special types can be specifed with lisp type specs, like “age“ above, which will generate an :class:‘sanity-clause.field:integer-field‘, with validations requiring the value be at least 0.
**Nota Bene:** At the moment, there is no validation done on updating slots after instances are created and only instances created with :function:‘sanity-clause.protocol:load‘ are checked. Using :function:‘make-instance‘ doesn’t validate anything.

Is this field required for serialization (fields that have flow of :dump or :both)?
Checks that the input resembles an email.
Find a validator function by keyword-spec and return the function represented by the spec unless it’s already a function.
Find the class that corresponds to :param:‘type‘ by name
Generic reader function for lists and class instances. Returns a “(values value found-p)“ so you can tell if the value was in the list or not. Can also read from the environment if given “:env“ as OBJECT.
Takes a list of validators in the form of keywords and turns them into living function references.
Accepts a :param:‘value‘ as an integer or string.
If :param:‘value‘ is a string, interpret it as a value with base- :param:‘radix‘.
If specified, make sure :param:‘min‘ <= :param:‘value‘ <= :param:‘max‘.
Is this field required for deserialization (fields that have flow of :load or :both)?
Takes a :type:‘pathname‘ or schema spec list like::
(:key (:string :validator (:not-empty) :default "potato")
:key2 (:integer :validator ((:int :min 0)) :default 2))
and returns a schema plist with fields. The field names are transformed into the “:data-key“ for the field by the :param:‘data-key-transformer‘, which is helpful when reading strings from a config file and putting them into a plist keyed with symbols.
Make a field instance of class “type-FIELD“ and give it initargs :param:‘args‘.
Checks that some value has been supplied. Note: this won’t work well with boolean values because NIL is falsey.
Checks that :param:‘value‘ is a string.
If specified, checks that :param:‘min-length‘ <= “(length value)“ <= :param:‘max-length‘.
Checks that a value is a string that resembles a uuid.
Converts the value retrieved from the raw data into the datatype the field expects to work with, or fails, raising a :class:‘sanity-clause.field:conversion-error‘.

examples::
(make-field :map :key-field :string :value-field :integer)

:field-choices
A field type that allows any of the schemas specified.
Use the “:schema-choices“ initarg to provide a list of schema classes to try.
**Note**: If your schema choices are very lenient (ie. every field is not required), this field will likely behave in unexpected ways. That is, if you specify a list of classes that only have optional fields, sanity clause won’t be able to figure out which one to use and will probably return the missing value instead of valid data. You probably want at least one charactersitic field to be required.

Returns a generator function that yields a validator function each call.
Attempts to convert :param:‘value‘ to a “t“ or “nil“ by comparing it to a list of stringy true or false values. Throws a :class:‘<validation-error>‘ if it can’t figure out if :param:‘value‘ is truthy or falsey.
Collect the initargs for :param:‘class‘, which is either a class or a symbol naming a class.
Collects arguments for and initializes a field and then returns it along with the cleaned up :param:‘initargs‘. This list can then be passed as the initargs to :class:‘validated-field-slot-definition‘.
Convert kebab case to upper snake case, e.g. “some-name => SOME_NAME“
Merge the keys :param:‘keys‘ on :param:‘list1‘ and :param:‘list2‘.
Sometimes, it’s useful to try to infer the field type from a lisp type-spec. For example::
(integer 0 10)
should produce a field that expects integers “(<= 0 n 10)“.
In the event the type isn’t a simple type, assume it’s a class with metaclass :class:‘validated-metaclass‘ and try to use that instead.
