An opinionated approach to have type safety in native JavaScript

In plain words

Avocado is a small JavaScript library and pattern guide that provides type safety and data validation for native JavaScript projects.

I have to admit, I love JavaScript and do not completely grasp the bashing. It supports my style of thinking and prototyping. I like its flexibility, it gives me a lot of subjective freedom.

You just write comments above your endpoint functions and voila, enforced type safety contracts between your API endpoints and your developers. OpenAPI specifications are generated automatically as a byproduct of simply…
