Summary
-------

A python library for variable type checker/validator/converter at run time.

Usage
=====

Type Check Method
----------------------

.. code:: pycon

>>> from typepy.type import Integer
>>> Integer(1).is_type()
True
>>> Integer(1.1).is_type()
False


Type Validation Method
--------------------------------------------

.. code:: pycon

>>> from typepy.type import Integer
>>> Integer(1).validate()
>>> try:
... Integer(1.1).validate()
... except TypeError as e:
... print(e)
...
invalid value type: expected=INTEGER, actual=<type 'float'>


Type Conversion Methods
--------------------------------------------

convert
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code:: pycon

>>> from typepy.type import Integer
>>> from typepy import TypeConversionError
>>> Integer("1").convert()
1
>>> try:
... Integer(1.1).convert()
... except TypeConversionError as e:
... print(e) # convert method will raise TypeConversionError when conversion failed
...
failed to convert from float to INTEGER

try_convert
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code:: pycon

>>> from typepy.type import Integer
>>> Integer("1").try_convert()
1
>>> print(Integer(1.1).try_convert()) # try_convert method will return None when conversion failed
None

force_convert
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code:: pycon

>>> from typepy.type import Integer
>>> Integer("1").force_convert() # force_convert will forcibly convert the value
1
>>> Integer(1.1).force_convert()
1

For more information
====================

Type check/validate/convert results will be changed according to
``strict_level`` value which can be passed to constructors as an argument.
More information can be found in the
`API reference <http://typepy.rtfd.io/en/latest/pages/reference/index.html>`__.
