Types

ValidationItem

A validation item describes a single piece of information — typically a warning or an error — about a node in the Kinobi IDL.

type ValidationItem = {
    // The level of importance of a validation item.
    level: 'debug' | 'trace' | 'info' | 'warn' | 'error';
    // A human-readable message describing the issue or information.
    message: string;
    // The node that the validation item is related to.
    node: Node;
    // The stack of nodes that led to the node above.
    stack: readonly Node[];
};

Functions

getValidationItemsVisitor(visitor)

The getValidationItemsVisitor function returns a visitor that collects all validation items from a Kinobi IDL. Note that this visitor is still a work in progress and does not cover all validation rules.

import { getValidationItemsVisitor } from '@kinobi-so/validators';

const validationItems = kinobi.accept(getValidationItemsVisitor());

throwValidatorItemsVisitor(visitor)

The throwValidatorItemsVisitor function accepts a Visitor<ValidationItemp[]> and throws an error if any validation items above a certain level are found. By default, the level is set to 'error' but a second argument can be passed to change it.

import { throwValidatorItemsVisitor, getValidationItemsVisitor } from '@kinobi-so/validators';

// Throw if any "error" items are found.
kinobi.accept(throwValidatorItemsVisitor(getValidationItemsVisitor()));

// Throw if any "warn" or "error" items are found.
kinobi.accept(throwValidatorItemsVisitor(getValidationItemsVisitor(), 'warn'));
