coerce.*

The DP.coerce.* family applies normalization before running the usual checkers. It is ideal to accept raw payloads (form-data, URLSearchParams, partial JSON) while guaranteeing a strong output type.

Available functions

• DP.coerce.string(): converts to string.
• DP.coerce.number(): converts to number ("42").
• DP.coerce.bigint()
• DP.coerce.boolean(): interprets "true", "false", 1, 0, on, off, etc.
• DP.coerce.date(): accepts Date, timestamp, or ISO string and returns a TheDate.
• DP.coerce.nil(): converts undefined/"null" to null.
• DP.coerce.empty(): converts null/"" to undefined.
