Yup
Yup is a JavaScript object schema validator and object parser. The API and style is ~~stolen~~ heavily inspired by Joi, which is an amazing library but is generally too large and difficult to package for use in a browser. Yup is a leaner in the same spirit without some of the fancy features. You can use it on the server as well, but in that case you might as well just use Joi.
Yup is also a good bit less opinionated than joi, allowing for custom transformations and async validation.
It also allows "stacking" conditions via when
for properties that depend on more than one other sibling or
child property. Yup separates the parsing and validating functions into separate steps so it can be used to parse
json separate from validating it, via the cast
method.

- Extending Schema Types
Install
npm install -S yup
Yup always relies on the Promise
global object to handle asynchronous values as well Set
.
For browsers that do not support these, you'll need to include a polyfill, such as core-js:
import 'core-js/es6/promise';
import 'core-js/es6/set';
Usage
You define and create schema objects. Schema objects are immutable, so each call of a method returns a new schema object.
try it out using tonicdev! https://tonicdev.com/570c52590a85f71200eb09ba/yup
var yup = require('yup')
var schema = yup.object().shape({
name: yup.string().required(),
age: yup.number().required().positive().integer(),
email: yup.string().email(),
website: yup.string().url(),
createdOn: yup.date().default(function() {
return new Date
})
})
//check validity
schema.isValid({
name: 'jimmy',
age: 24
})
.then(function(valid){
valid // => true
})
//you can try and type cast objects to the defined schema
schema.cast({
name: 'jimmy',
age: '24',
createdOn: '2014-09-23T19:25:25Z'
})
// => { name: 'jimmy', age: 24, createdOn: Date }
Using a custom locale dictionary
Allows you to customize the default messages used by Yup, when no message is provided with a validation test. If any message is missing in the custom dictionary the error message will default to Yup's one.
import { setLocale } from 'yup/lib/customLocale'
setLocale({
mixed: {
default: 'Não é válido',
},
number: {
max: 'Deve ser maior que ${min}',
},
})
// Now use Yup schemas AFTER you defined your custom dicionary
const schema = yup.object().shape({
name: yup.string(),
age: yup.number().min(18),
})
schema.validate({ name: 'jimmy', age: 'hi' })
.catch(function(err){
err.name // 'ValidationError'
err.errors // => ['Deve ser maior que 18']
})

var yup = require('yup')
yup.mixed
yup.string
yup.number
yup.boolean // also aliased as yup.bool
yup.date
yup.object
yup.array
yup.reach
yup.addMethod
yup.ValidationError
yup.reach(schema: Schema, path: string, value: ?object, context: ?object): Schema
For nested schema's yup.reach
will retrieve a nested schema based on the provided path.
For nested schema that need to resolve dynamically, you can provide a value
and optionally
a context
object.
var schema = object().shape({
nested: object()
.shape({
arr: array().of(
object().shape({ num: number().max(4) }))
})
})
reach(schema, 'nested.arr.num')
reach(schema, 'nested.arr[].num')
reach(schema, 'nested.arr[1].num')
reach(schema, 'nested["arr"][1].num')
yup.addMethod(schemaType: Schema, name: string, method: ()=> Schema): void
Adds a new method to the core schema types. A friendlier convenience method for schemaType.prototype[name] = method
.
yup.addMethod(yup.date, 'format', function(formats, parseStrict) {
return this.transform(function(value, originalValue){
if ( this.isType(value) ) return value
value = Moment(originalValue, formats, parseStrict)
return date.isValid() ? date.toDate() : invalidDate
})
})
yup.ref(path: string, options: { contextPrefix: string }): Ref
Creates a reference to another sibling or sibling descendant field. Ref's are resolved at validation/cast time and supported where specified. Ref's are evaluated in in the proper order so that the ref value is resolved before the field using the ref (be careful of circular dependencies!).
var schema = object({
baz: ref('foo.bar'),
foo: object({
bar: string()
})
x: ref('$x')
})
inst.cast({ foo: { bar: 'boom' } }, { context: { x: 5 } })
// { baz: 'boom', x: 5, { foo: { bar: 'boom' } }, }
yup.lazy((value: any) => Schema): Lazy
creates a schema that is evaluated at validation/cast time. Useful for creating recursive schema like Trees, for polymophic fields and arrays.
CAUTION! When defining parent-child recursive object schema, you want to reset the default()
to undefined
on the child otherwise the object will infinitely nest itself when you cast it!.
var node = object({
id: number(),
child: yup.lazy(() =>
node.default(undefined)
)
})
let renderable = yup.lazy(value => {
switch (typeof value) {
case 'number':
return number()
case 'string':
return string()
default:
return mixed()
}
})
let renderables = array().of(renderable)
ValidationError(errors: string | Array<string>, value: any, path: string)
Thrown on failed validations, with the following properties
name
: "ValidationError"path
: a string, indicating where there error was thrown.path
is empty at the root level.errors
: array of error messagesinner
: in the case of aggregate errors, inner is an array ofValidationErrors
throw earlier in the validation chain. When theabortEarly
option isfalse
this is where you can inspect each error thrown, alternativelyerrors
will have all the of the messages from each inner error.
mixed
Creates a schema that matches all types. All types inherit from this base type
var schema = yup.mixed();
schema.isValid(undefined, function(valid){
valid //=> true
})
mixed.clone(): Schema
Creates a deep copy of the schema. Clone is used internally to return a new schema with every schema state change.
mixed.label(label: string): Schema
Overrides the key name which is used in error messages.
mixed.meta(metadata: object): Schema
Adds to a metadata object, useful for storing data with a schema, that doesn't belong the cast object itself.
mixed.describe(): SchemaDescription
Collects schema details (like meta, labels, and active tests) into a serializable description object.
SchemaDescription {
type: string,
label: string,
meta: object,
tests: Array<string>
}
mixed.concat(schema: Schema)
Creates a new instance of the schema by combining two schemas. Only schemas of the same type can be concatenated.
mixed.validate(value: any, options: ?object): Promise<any, ValidationError>
Returns the value (a cast value if isStrict
is false
) if the value is valid, and returns the errors otherwise.
This method is asynchronous and returns a Promise object, that is fulfilled with the value, or rejected
with a ValidationError
.
The options
argument is an object hash containing any schema options you may want to override
(or specify for the first time).
Options = {
strict: boolean = false;
abortEarly: boolean = true;
stripUnknown: boolean = false;
recursive: boolean = true;
context: ?object;
}
strict
: only validate the input, and skip and coercion or transformationabortEarly
: return from validation methods on the first error rather than after all validations run.stripUnknown
: remove unspecified keys from objects.recursive
: whenfalse
validations will not descend into nested schema (relevant for objects or arrays).context
: any context needed for validating schema conditions (see:when()
)
schema.validate({ name: 'jimmy',age: 24 })
.then(function(value){
value // => { name: 'jimmy',age: 24 }
})
schema.validate({ name: 'jimmy', age: 'hi' })
.catch(function(err){
err.name // 'ValidationError'
err.errors // => ['age must be a number']
})
mixed.isValid(value: any, options: ?object: Promise<boolean>
Returns true
when the passed in value matches the schema. isValid
is asynchronous and
returns a Promise object.
Takes the same options as validate()
.
mixed.cast(value: any): any
Attempts to coerce the passed in value to a value that matches the schema. For example: '5'
will
cast to 5
when using the number()
type. Failed casts generally return null
, but may also
return results like NaN
and unexpected strings.
mixed.isType(value: any): boolean
Runs a type check against the passed in value
. It returns true if it matches,
it does not cast the value. When nullable()
is set null
is considered a valid value of the type.
You should use isType
for all Schema type checks.
mixed.strict(isStrict: boolean = false): Schema
Sets the strict
option to true
. Strict schemas skip coercion and transformation attempts,
validating the value "as is".
mixed.strip(stripField: boolean = true): Schema
Marks a schema to be removed from an output object. Only works as a nested schema.
let schema = object({
useThis: number(),
notThis: string().strip()
})
schema.cast({ notThis: 'foo', useThis: 4 }) // { useThis: 4 }
mixed.withMutation(builder: (current: Schema) => void): void
First the legally required Rich Hickey quote:
If a tree falls in the woods, does it make a sound?
If a pure function mutates some local data in order to produce an immutable return value, is that ok?
withMutation
allows you to mutate the schema in place, instead of the default behavior which clones before each change.
Generally this isn't necessary since the vast majority of schema changes happen during the initial
declaration, and only happen once over the lifetime of the schema, so performance isn't an issue.
However certain mutations do occur at cast/validation time, (such as conditional schema using when()
), or
when instantiating a schema object.
object()
.shape({ key: string() })
.withMutation(schema => {
return arrayOfObjectTests.forEach(test => {
schema.test(test)
})
})
mixed.default(value: any): Schema
Sets a default value to use when the value is undefined
.
Defaults are created after transformations are executed, but before validations, to help ensure that safe
defaults are specified. The default value will be cloned on each use, which can incur performance penalty
for objects and arrays. To avoid this overhead you can also pass a function that returns an new default.
Note that null
is considered a separate non-empty value.
yup.string.default('nothing');
yup.object.default({ number: 5}); // object will be cloned every time a default is needed
yup.object.default(() => ({ number: 5})); // this is cheaper
yup.date.default(() => new Date()); //also helpful for defaults that change over time
mixed.default(): Any
Calling default
with no arguments will return the current default value
mixed.nullable(isNullable: boolean = false): Schema
Indicates that null
is a valid value for the schema. Without nullable()
null
is treated as a different type and will fail isType()
checks.
mixed.required(message: ?string): Schema
Mark the schema as required. All field values apart from undefined
meet this requirement.
mixed.typeError(message: string): Schema
Define an error message for failed type checks. The ${value}
and ${type}
interpolation can
be used in the message
argument.
mixed.oneOf(arrayOfValues: Array<any>, string: ?message): Schema
Alias: equals
Whitelist a set of values. Values added are automatically removed from any blacklist if they are in it.
The ${values}
interpolation can be used in the message
argument.
var schema = yup.mixed().oneOf(['jimmy', 42]);
schema.isValid(42) //=> true
schema.isValid('jimmy') //=> true
schema.isValid(new Date) //=> false
mixed.notOneOf(arrayOfValues: Array<any>, string: ?message)
Blacklist a set of values. Values added are automatically removed from any whitelist if they are in it.
The ${values}
interpolation can be used in the message
argument.
var schema = yup.mixed().notOneOf(['jimmy', 42]);
schema.isValid(42) //=> false
schema.isValid(new Date) //=> true
mixed.when(keys: string | Array<string>, builder: object | (value, schema)=> Schema): Schema
Adjust the schema based on a sibling or sibling children fields. You can provide an object
literal where the key is
is value or a matcher function, then
provides the true schema and/or
otherwise
for the failure condition.
is
conditions are strictly compared (===
) if you want to use a different form of equality you
can provide a function like: is: (value) => value == true
.
Like joi you can also prefix properties with $
to specify a property that is dependent
on context
passed in by validate()
or isValid
. when
conditions are additive.
var inst = yup.object({
isBig: yup.boolean(),
count: yup.number()
.when('isBig', {
is: true, // alternatively: (val) => val == true
then: yup.number().min(5),
otherwise: yup.number().min(0)
})
.when('$other', (other, schema) => other === 4
? schema.max(6)
: schema)
})
inst.validate(value, { context: { other: 4 }})
You can also specify more than one dependent key, in which case each value will be spread as an argument.
var inst = yup.object({
isSpecial: yup.bool()
isBig: yup.bool(),
count: yup.number()
.when(['isBig', 'isSpecial'], {
is: true, // alternatively: (isBig, isSpecial) => isBig && isSpecial
then: yup.number().min(5),
otherwise: yup.number().min(0)
})
})
inst.validate({
isBig: true,
isSpecial: true,
count: 10
})
Alternatively you can provide a function the returns a schema (called with the value of the key and the current schema).
var inst = yup.object({
isBig: yup.boolean(),
count: yup.number()
.when('isBig', (isBig, schema) => {
return isBig ? schema.min(5) : schema.min(0)
})
})
inst.validate({ isBig: false, count: 4 })
mixed.test(name: string, message: string, test: function): Schema
Adds a test function to the validation chain. Tests are run after any object is cast. Many types have some tests built in, but you can create custom ones easily. In order to allow asynchronous custom validations all tests are run asynchronously. A consequence of this is that test execution order cannot be guaranteed.
All tests must provide a name
, an error message
and a validation function that must return
true
or false
or a ValidationError
. To make a test async return a promise that resolves true
or false
or a ValidationError
.
for the message
argument you can provide a string which is will interpolate certain values
if specified using the ${param}
syntax. By default all test messages are passed a path
value
which is valuable in nested schemas.
the test
function is called with the current value
. For more advanced validations you can
use the alternate signature to provide more options (see below):
var jimmySchema = yup.string()
.test('is-jimmy', '${path} is not Jimmy', value => value === 'jimmy');
// or make it async by returning a promise
var asyncJimmySchema = yup.string()
.test('is-jimmy', '${path} is not Jimmy', function (value){
return fetch('/is-jimmy/' + value)
.then(response => response.responseText === 'true')
});
schema.isValid('jimmy').then(...) //=> true
schema.isValid('john').then(...) //=> false
schema.errors // => [ 'this is not Jimmy!']
test functions are called with a special context, or this
value, that exposes some useful metadata and functions.
this.path
: the string path of the current validationthis.schema
: the resolved schema object that the test is running against.this.options
: theoptions
object that validate() or isValid() was called withthis.parent
: in the case of nested schema, this is the value of the parent objectthis.createError(Object: { path: String, message: String })
: create and return a validation error. Useful for dynamically setting thepath
, or more likely, the errormessage
. If either option is omitted it will use the current path, or default message.
mixed.test(options: object): Schema
Alternative test(..)
signature. options
is an object containing some of the following options:
Options = {
// Unique name identifying the test
name: string;
// test function, determines schema validity
test: (value: any) => boolean;
// The validation error message
message: string;
// values passed to message for interpolation
params: ?object;
// mark the test as exclusive, meaning only one of the same can be active at once
exclusive: boolean = false;
}
In the case of mixing exclusive and non-exclusive tests the following logic is used. If a non-exclusive test is added to a schema with an exclusive test of the same name the exclusive test is removed and further tests of the same name will be stacked.
If an exclusive test is added to a schema with non-exclusive tests of the same name the previous tests are removed and further tests of the same name will replace each other.
var schema = yup.mixed().test({
name: 'max',
exclusive: true,
params: { max },
message: '${path} must be less than ${max} characters',
test: value => value == null || value.length <= max
});
mixed.transform((currentValue: any, originalValue: any) => any): Schema
Adds a transformation to the transform chain. Transformations are central to the casting process,
default transforms for each type coerce values to the specific type (as verified by isType()
).
transforms are run before validations and only applied when strict
is true
. Some types have built in transformations.
Transformations are useful for arbitrarily altering how the object is cast, however, you should take care
not to mutate the passed in value. Transforms are run sequentially so each value
represents the
current state of the cast, you can use the originalValue
param if you need to work on the raw initial value.
var schema = yup.string().transform(function(currentValue, originalvalue){
return this.isType(value) && value !== null
? value.toUpperCase()
: value
});
schema.cast('jimmy') //=> 'JIMMY'
Each types will handle basic coercion of values to the proper type for you, but occasionally you may want to adjust or refine the default behavior. For example, if you wanted to use a different date parsing strategy than the default one you could do that with a transform.
yup.date().transform(function(formats = 'MMM dd, yyyy'){
//check to see if the previous transform already parsed the date
if ( this.isType(value) ) return value
//the default coercion failed so lets try it with Moment.js instead
value = Moment(originalValue, formats)
//if its valid return the date object, otherwise return an `InvalidDate`
return date.isValid() ? date.toDate() : new Date('')
})
string
Define a string schema. Supports all the same methods as mixed
.
var schema = yup.string();
schema.isValid('hello') //=> true
By default, the cast
logic of string
is to call toString
on the value if it exists.
empty values are not coerced (use ensure()
to coerce empty values to empty strings).
Failed casts return the input value.
string.required(message: ?string): Schema
The same as the mixed()
schema required, except that empty strings are also considered 'missing' values.
To allow empty strings but fail on undefined
values use: string().required().min(0)
string.min(limit: number | Ref, message: ?string): Schema
Set an minimum length limit for the string value. The ${min}
interpolation can be used in the message
argument
string.max(limit: number | Ref, message: ?string): Schema
Set an maximum length limit for the string value. The ${max}
interpolation can be used in the message
argument
string.matches(regex: Regex, message: ?string): Schema
Provide an arbitrary regex
to match the value against.
var v = string().matches(/(hi|bye)/);
v.isValid('hi').should.eventually().equal(true)
v.isValid('nope').should.eventually().equal(false)
string.matches(regex: Regex, options: { message: string, excludeEmptyString: bool }): Schema
An alternate signature for string.matches
with an options object. excludeEmptyString
, when true,
short circuits the regex test when the value is an empty string
var v = string().matches(/(hi|bye)/, { excludeEmptyString: true });
v.isValid('').should.eventually().equal(false)
string.email(message: ?string): Schema
Validates the value as an email address via a regex.
string.url(message: ?string): Schema
Validates the value as a valid URL via a regex.
string.ensure(): Schema
Transforms undefined
and null
values to an empty string along with
setting the default
to an empty string.
string.trim(message: ?string): Schema
Transforms string values by removing leading and trailing whitespace. If
strict()
is set it will only validate that the value is trimmed.
string.lowercase(message: ?string): Schema
Transforms the string value to lowercase. If strict()
is set it
will only validate that the value is lowercase.
string.uppercase(message: ?string): Schema
Transforms the string value to uppercase. If strict()
is set it
will only validate that the value is uppercase.
number
Define a number schema. Supports all the same methods as mixed
.
var schema = yup.number();
schema.isValid(10) //=> true
The default cast
logic of number
is: parseFloat
.
Failed casts return NaN
.
number.min(limit: number | Ref, message: ?string): Schema
Set the minimum value allowed. The ${min}
interpolation can be used in the
message
argument.
number.max(limit: number | Ref, message: ?string): Schema
Set the maximum value allowed. The ${max}
interpolation can be used in the
message
argument.
number.positive(message: ?string): Schema
Value must be a positive number.
number.negative(message: ?string): Schema
Value must be a negative number.
number.integer(message: ?string): Schema
Validates that a number is an integer.
number.truncate(): Schema
Transformation that coerces the value to an integer by stripping off the digits to the right of the decimal point.
number.round(type: 'floor' | 'ceil' | 'trunc' | 'round' = 'round'): Schema
Adjusts the value via the specified method of Math
(defaults to 'round').
boolean
Define a boolean schema. Supports all the same methods as mixed
.
var schema = yup.boolean();
schema.isValid(true) //=> true
date
Define a Date schema. By default ISO date strings will parse correctly,
for more robust parsing options see the extending schema types at the end of the readme.
Supports all the same methods as mixed
.
var schema = yup.date();
schema.isValid(new Date) //=> true
The default cast
logic of date
is pass the value to the Date
constructor, failing that, it will attempt
to parse the date as an ISO date string.
Failed casts return an invalid Date.
date.min(limit: Date | string | Ref, message: ?string): Schema
Set the minimum date allowed. When a string is provided it will attempt to cast to a date first and use the result as the limit.
date.max(limit: Date | string | Ref, message: ?string): Schema
Set the maximum date allowed, When a string is provided it will attempt to cast to a date first and use the result as the limit.
array
Define an array schema. Arrays can be typed or not, When specifying the element type, cast
and isValid
will apply to the elements as well. Options passed into isValid
are passed also passed to child schemas.
Supports all the same methods as mixed
.
var schema = yup.array().of(number().min(2));
schema.isValid([2, 3]) //=> true
schema.isValid([1, -24]) //=> false
schema.cast(['2', '3']) //=> [2, 3]
You can also pass a subtype schema to the array constructor as a convenience.
array().of(number())
//or
array(number())
The default cast
behavior for array
is: JSON.parse
Failed casts return: null
;
array.of(type: Schema): Schema
Specify the schema of array elements. of()
is optional and when omitted the array schema will
not validate its contents.
array.required(message: ?string): Schema
The same as the mixed()
schema required, except that empty arrays are also considered 'missing' values.
To allow empty arrays but fail on undefined
values use: array().required().min(0)
array.min(limit: number | Ref, message: ?string): Schema
Set an minimum length limit for the array. The ${min}
interpolation can be used in the message
argument.
array.max(limit: number | Ref, message: ?string): Schema
Set an maximum length limit for the array. The ${max}
interpolation can be used in the message
argument.
array.ensure(): Schema
Ensures that the value is an array, by setting the default to []
and transforming null
and undefined
values to an empty array as well. Any non-empty, non-array value will be wrapped in an array.
array().ensure().cast(null) // -> []
array().ensure().cast(1) // -> [1]
array().ensure().cast([1]) // -> [1]
array.compact(rejector: (value) => boolean): Schema
Removes falsey values from the array. Providing a rejecter function lets you specify the rejection criteria yourself.
array()
.compact()
.cast(['', 1, 0, 4, false, null]) // => [1,4]
array()
.compact(function(v){
return v == null
})
.cast(['', 1, 0, 4, false, null]) // => ['',1, 0, 4, false]
object
Define an object schema. Options passed into isValid
are also passed to child schemas.
Supports all the same methods as mixed
.
yup.object().shape({
name: string().required(),
age: number().required().positive().integer(),
email: string().email(),
website string().url(),
})
You can also pass a shape to the object constructor as a convenience.
object().shape({
num: number()
})
//or
object({
num: number()
})
The default cast
behavior for object
is: JSON.parse
Failed casts return: null
;
object.shape(fields: object, noSortEdges: ?Array<[string, string]>): Schema
Define the keys of the object and the schemas for said keys.
object.from(fromKey: string, toKey: string, alias: boolean = false): Schema
Transforms the specified key to a new key. If alias
is true
then the old key will be left.
var schema = object({
myProp: mixed(),
Other: mixed(),
})
.from('prop', 'myProp')
.from('other', 'Other', true)
inst.cast({ prop: 5, other: 6}) // => { myProp: 5, other: 6, Other: 6 }
object.noUnknown(onlyKnownKeys: boolean = true, message: ?string): Schema
Validate that the object value only contains keys specified in shape
, pass false
as the first
argument to disable the check. Restricting keys to known, also enables stripUnknown
option, when not in strict mode.
object.camelCase(): Schema
Transforms all object keys to camelCase
object.constantCase(): Schema
Transforms all object keys to CONSTANT_CASE.
Extending Schema Types
The simplest way to extend an existing type is just to cache a configured schema and use that through your application.
var yup = require('yup');
var parseFormats = ['MMM dd, yyy']
var invalidDate = new Date('');
module.exports = yup.date()
.transform(function(value, originalValue){
if ( this.isType(value) ) return value
//the default coercion transform failed so lets try it with Moment instead
value = Moment(originalValue, parseFormats)
return date.isValid() ? date.toDate() : invalidDate
})
Alternatively, each schema is a normal JavaScript constructor function that you can mutate or delegate to
using the normal patterns. Generally you should not inherit from mixed
unless you know what you are doing,
better to think of it as an abstract class. The other types are fair game though.
You should keep in mind some basic guidelines when extending schemas
- never mutate an existing schema, always
clone()
and then mutate the new one before returning it. Built-in methods liketest
andtransform
take care of this for you, so you can safely use them (see below) without worrying - transforms should never mutate the
value
passed in, and should return an invalid object when one exists (NaN
,InvalidDate
, etc) instead ofnull
for bad values. - by the time validations run the
value
is guaranteed to be the correct type, however ifnullable
is set thennull
is a valid value for that type, so don't assume that a property or method exists on the value.
Adjust core Types
var invalidDate = new Date('');
function parseDateFromFormats(formats, parseStrict) {
return this.transform(function(value, originalValue){
if (this.isType(value))
return value
value = Moment(originalValue, formats, parseStrict)
return date.isValid() ? date.toDate() : invalidDate
})
}
// `addMethod` doesn't do anything special it's
// equivalent to: yup.date.protoype.format = parseDateFromFormats
yup.addMethod(yup.date, 'format', parseDateFromFormats)
Creating new Types
Yup schema use the common constructor pattern for modeling inheritance. You can use any utility or pattern that works with that pattern. The below demonstrates using the es6 class syntax since its less verbose, but you absolutely aren't required to use it.
var DateSchema = yup.date
var invalidDate = new Date(''); // our failed to coerce value
class MomentDateSchemaType extends DateSchema {
constructor() {
super();
this._validFormats = [];
this.withMutation(() => {
this.transform(function (value, originalvalue) {
if (this.isType(value)) // we have a valid value
return value
return Moment(originalValue, this._validFormats, true)
})
})
}
_typeCheck(value) {
return super._typeCheck(value)
|| (moment.isMoment(value) && value.isValid())
}
format(formats) {
if (!formats)
throw new Error('must enter a valid format')
let next = this.clone()
next._validFormats = {}.concat(formats);
}
}
var schema = new MomentDateSchemaType()
schema
.format('YYYY-MM-DD')
.cast('It is 2012-05-25') // Fri May 25 2012 00:00:00 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time)
