A tiny, zero-dependency invariant assertion function for JavaScript and TypeScript that throws when a condition is falsy. It also narrows types in TypeScript and Flow, making it useful for runtime checks and type safety.

Use cases

  • assert a condition is truthy at runtime
  • narrow nullable types in typescript
  • replace the invariant package with a smaller alternative
  • throw descriptive errors for invalid states
  • validate function preconditions

When to avoid

  • you need sprintf-style message formatting from the original invariant package
  • you need rich assertion APIs like chai or expect
