Hello,
To check argument types in functions that are used in many different
places, I have been using this:
function someCoreFunction( domnode, text ) {
// "Cheap runtime assert": fails when `domnode` is not a DOM node.
domnode.childNodes.a;
// Same idea, for a string.
text.substring.a;
// Rest of the function
// ...
}
It helps to catch mistakes early, including during development. I am
*not* advocating to litter the code with thousands such statements,
but in a few strategical places the benefits can exceed the costs.
Hopefully this can help someone. Constructive feedback is welcome.
