___
Iron is a lightweight library for refined types in Scala 3.
It enables attaching constraints/assertions to types, to enforce properties and forbid invalid values.
- **Catch bugs.** In the spirit of static typing, use more specific types to avoid invalid values.
- **Compile-time and runtime.** Evaluate constraints at compile time, or explicitly check them at runtime (e.g. for a
form).
- **Seamless.** Iron types are subtypes of their unrefined versions, meaning you can easily add or remove them.
- **No black magic.** Use Scala 3's powerful inline, types and restricted macros for consistent behaviour and rules. No
unexpected behaviour.
- **Extendable.** Easily create your own constraints or integrations using classic typeclasses.
To learn more about Iron, see the [microsite](https://iltotore.github.io/iron/docs/index.html).
## Example
```scala
import io.github.iltotore.iron.*
import io.github.iltotore.iron.constraint.numeric.*
def log(x: Double :| Positive): Double =
Math.log(x) //Used like a normal `Double`
log(1.0) //Automatically verified at compile time.
log(-1.0) //Compile-time error: Should be strictly positive
val runtimeValue: Double = ???
log(runtimeValue.refineUnsafe) //Explicitly refine your external values at runtime.
runtimeValue.refineEither.map(log) //Use monadic style for functional validation
runtimeValue.refineEither[Positive].map(log) //More explicitly
```
## Helpful error messages
Iron provides useful errors when a constraint does not pass:
```scala
log(-1.0)
```
```scala
-- Constraint Error --------------------------------------------------------
Could not satisfy a constraint for type scala.Double.
Value: -1.0
Message: Should be strictly positive
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
```
Or when it cannot be verified:
```scala
val runtimeValue: Double = ???
log(runtimeValue)
```
```scala
-- Constraint Error --------------------------------------------------------
Cannot refine non full inlined input at compile-time.
To test a constraint at runtime, use the `refine` extension method.
Note: Due to a Scala limitation, already-refined types cannot be tested at compile-time (unless proven by an `Implication`).
Inlined input: runtimeValue
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
```
## Import in your project
SBT:
```scala
libraryDependencies += "io.github.iltotore" %% "iron" % "version"
```
Mill:
```scala
ivy"io.github.iltotore::iron:version"
```
**Note: replace `version` with the version of Iron.**
