Fixes #141

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added optional JSON reviver support for customizing parsed values.
    • Revivers work with both standard JSON and JSON requiring security filtering.
    • Existing parsing behavior remains unchanged when no reviver is configured.
  • Security

    • Continued protection against prototype-pollution keys while preserving reviver functionality.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for removing values, transforming parsed data, and combining revivers with security warnings.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

destr now supports an optional JSON reviver. The parser applies the reviver to ordinary and filtered JSON while preserving prototype-pollution protection. Tests cover value transformation, undefined removal, warning behavior, and dangerous-key filtering.

Changes

Reviver support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reviver-enabled parsing and validation
src/index.ts, test/index.test.ts
Options accepts a reviver callback. JSON parsing applies the callback after dangerous-key filtering. Tests cover undefined removal, value transformation, and __proto__ filtering with warnings.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 505c4

This change adds reviver support but currently skips the reviver for valid primitive roots and can bind this to the options object instead of the JSON holder when pollution filtering is active. That can produce incorrect parsed values or break revivers that depend on holder context, so the PR is not merge-ready until both behaviors are corrected and tested.

Preserve the JSON.parse reviver holder binding in filtered input.

When pollution filtering runs, options.reviver(key, transformed) binds this to options, not the current JSON holder. Use a normal wrapper function and call options.reviver.call(this, key, transformed). Add a test with a pollution-triggering key and a non-arrow reviver that checks its holder.

Apply reviver to all valid JSON root primitives. The fast paths at src/index.ts#L37-L70 skip reviver for values such as null, true, false, and unescaped quoted strings. For example, destr("null", { reviver: () => undefined }) returns null instead of undefined.

  • Bypass these fast paths when options.reviver exists, or invoke reviver with key "" before returning.
  • Add root-value tests for null and a quoted string. Verify replacement and removal through key "".
