;;; validate.el --- Schema validation for Emacs-lisp -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-
;; Copyright (C) 2016 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
;; Author: Artur Malabarba <emacs@endlessparentheses.com>
;; Keywords: lisp
;; Package-Requires: ((emacs "24.1") (cl-lib "0.5") (seq "2.16"))
;; Version: 1.0.4
;;; Commentary:
;;
;; This library offers two functions that perform schema validation.
;; Use this is your Elisp packages to provide very informative error
;; messages when your users accidentally misconfigure a variable.
;; For instance, if everything is fine, these do the same thing:
;;
;; 1. (validate-variable 'cider-known-endpoints)
;; 2. cider-known-endpoints
;;
;; However, if the user has misconfigured this variable, option
;; 1. will immediately give them an informative error message, while
;; option 2. won't say anything and will lead to confusing errors down
;; the line.
;;
;; The format and language of the schemas is the same one used in the
;; `:type' property of a `defcustom'.
;;
;; See: (info "(elisp) Customization Types")
;;
;; Both functions throw a `user-error' if the value in question
;; doesn't match the schema, and return the value itself if it
;; matches. The function `validate-variable' verifies whether the value of a
;; custom variable matches its custom-type, while `validate-value' checks an
;; arbitrary value against an arbitrary schema.
;;
;; Missing features: `:inline', `plist', `coding-system', `color',
;; `hook', `restricted-sexp'.
