I often wish I could make certain patterns itch my brain less. I can assent to the fact it's not important, but some part of my brain never let's it go, always mildly irritated by it.

Using booleans to represent two states that aren't inherent binaries is one of those things.

What do y'all think?
/** * I feel strongly that booleans should be reserved for a single value * that can be in a binary state. `disabled`, `is_active`, `isCollapsed`, etc. * * You probably wouldn't see me writing a component like this _vastly * oversimplified example_. */ function SsnInput({ fourDigitSsn = false }) { const validationRules = fourDigitSsn ? fourDigitRules : fullSsnRules return <SomeFormLibraryInput rules={validationRules} /> } /** * For values that can be in two different states, but don't represent a true * binary, I'm more inclined to use a union, EVEN IF THERE ARE ONLY 2 STATES * AT THE MOMENT. * * To me, it's a better representation of the state. Even if it's more code, * it's very clear how the implementation works, and could be extended easily * by adding a variant. */ type Variant = "full" | "last-four" const VARIANT_TO_RULES: Record<Variant, InputRule[]> = { full: fullSsnRules, 'last-four': fourDigitRules } function MySsnInput({ variant = "full" }) { return <SomeFormLibraryInput rules={VARIANT_TO_RULES[variant]} /> } /** * This is an interesting example because there's likely only ever going to be * 2 states. What do you think? */

Explaining server-side validation
Server-side validation is the check a web server runs on submitted data before accepting it, rejecting malformed emails, bad phone numbers and forged posts.

I may have some content cooking on Validation Rules… with the T being that they are bad user experience. What do you think? 🤔

As many years of experience I have doing it, sometimes writing @salesforce #ValidationRules still hurts my brain 🧠
