Schema Validation Package

Schema Validation Package is a simple NestJS package (module) that allows you to validate your data against a schema which is get from a Schema Registry API and cached locally.

Features

• Validate incoming data against a schema. Uses AJV under the hood.
• Get schema from a Schema Registry API.
• Cache schema locally for faster access. It stores the cache entries for 5 minutes.

Getting Started

1. Add to your app.module.ts the following import:

   @Module({
     imports: [
       SchemaValidationModule,
     ],
     controllers: [],
     providers: [],
   })

2. In your services or guards, use the SchemaValidationService to validate your data against a schema.

How it works

The package is exposing a SchemaValidationModule which is a NestJS module that should be imported in your application. This module provides a SchemaValidationService which is a service that can be used to validate data against a schema.

SchemaValidationService exposes a single method called validateAgainstSchema with the following signature:

async validateAgainstSchema(schemaName: string, objectToValidate: unknown, schemaVersion?: string): { isValid: boolean, errors: Record<string, string> }

Required configuration

The package is using the following environment variables:

- SCHEMA_API_URL - URL of the Schema Registry API
- SCHEMA_API_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY - Subscription key for the Schema Registry API
- SCHEMA_VALIDATION_CACHE_TTL - TTL of the cached schema in milliseconds
