Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Data Model Validator Library

The library provides a flexible and extensible framework for validating data models in TypeScript. It supports defining validation constraints for model properties and can validate both entire models and individual properties. The library is designed to help ensure data integrity and enforce business rules in your application.

Features

  • Model Validation: Validate entire data models against a set of constraints.
  • Property Validation: Validate individual properties with specific constraints.
  • Custom Constraints: Define your own validation constraints.
  • Built-in Constraints: Includes common constraints like NotBlank and Length.
  • Error Reporting: Provides detailed violation messages for invalid data.

Use Cases

Ensuring Data Integrity

When collecting data from users, it's crucial to ensure that the data meets specific requirements before processing or storing it. The library helps enforce these rules consistently across your application.

Enforcing Business Rules

For business applications, certain fields must comply with specific rules (e.g., a title must not be empty, an amount must be a positive number). This library ensures these rules are adhered to, reducing the risk of data-related errors.

Installation

Using npm:

npm install validator-library

Using yarn:

yarn add validator-library

Usage

Built-in Constraints

  • NotBlank - Ensures a value is not empty.
  • Length - Ensures a string's length is within a specified range.

Creating Validatable Model & Applying Constraints

Implement the ValidatableModelInterface in your data model class.

Example: User Model

import {ConstraintInterface, ValidatableModelInterface} from "@webnotion-net/typescript-model-validator";
import NotBlank from "@webnotion-net/typescript-model-validator/dist/constraints/NotBlank";

class User implements ValidatableModelInterface {
    name: string;
    email: string;
    password: string;

    constructor() {
        this.name = '';
        this.email = '';
        this.password = '';
    }

    getConstraints(): { [key: string]: ConstraintInterface[] } {
        return {
            name: [new NotBlank()],
            email: [new NotBlank(), new Email()],
            password: [new NotBlank(), new Length(6, 128)],
        };
    }
}

export default User;

Validating Data

Use the Validator class to validate your models and properties.

Example: Validating a Model

import {Validator} from "@webnotion-net/typescript-model-validator";
import User from "@/models/User";

const user = new User();
user.name = '';  // Invalid data
user.email = ''; // Invalid data

const validator = new Validator();
const violations = validator.validate(user);

// Further processing of returned violations

Example: Validating a Property

import {Validator} from "@webnotion-net/typescript-model-validator";
import NotBlank from "@webnotion-net/typescript-model-validator/dist/constraints/NotBlank";

const name = '';
const validator = new Validator();
const nameViolations = validator.validateProperty('name', name, [new NotBlank()]);

// Further processing of returned violations

Custom Constraints

You can create custom constraints by implementing the ConstraintInterface.

Example: Custom Constraint

import {ConstraintInterface} from "@webnotion-net/typescript-model-validator";

class IsPositive implements ConstraintInterface {
    validate(data: number): boolean {
        return data > 0;
    }

    getErrorMessage(): string {
        return "The value must be positive.";
    }
}

export default IsPositive;

Best Practices

  1. Define Constraints Clearly: Ensure constraints are well-defined and cover all necessary validation rules for your application.
  2. Reuse Constraints: Create reusable constraints for common validation rules to maintain consistency.
  3. Handle Violations: Properly handle and display validation errors to users, providing clear and actionable messages.
