Custom Error Message

const AJS = require('another-json-schema')

const userSchema = AJS('userSchema', {
  name: { type: 'string', required: true },
  age: {
    type: 'number',
    gte: 18,
    _customErrorMsg: {
      gte: '您未满 18 岁'
    }
  }
})

// test `_customErrorMsg`
console.log(userSchema.validate({

     schema: 'userSchema' },
  result: { name: 'nswbmw', age: 17 } }
*/

Register validator

const AJS = require('another-json-schema')

AJS.register('adult', function (actual, expected, key, parent) {
  return expected ? (actual > 18) : (actual <= 18)
})
const adultSchema = AJS('adultSchema', { type: 'number', adult: true })

console.log(adultSchema.validate(19))
// { valid: true, error: null, result: 19 }
console.log(adultSchema.validate(17))
/*
{ valid: false,
  error:
   { Error: ($: 17) ✖ (adult: true)
     validator: 'adult',
     actual: 17,
     expected: { type: 'number', adult: true },
     path: '$',
     schema: 'adultSchema' },
  result: 17 }
*/

Custom type validate function

Custom ObjectId validator, check whether ObjectId then wrap _id string to ObjectId.

const AJS = require('another-json-schema')
const validator = require('validator')
const toObjectId = require('mongodb').ObjectId

function ObjectId(actual, key, parent) {
  if (!actual || !validator.isMongoId(actual.toString())) {
    return false
  }
  parent[key] = toObjectId(actual)
  return true
}

const postSchema = AJS('postSchema', {
  commentIds: [{ type: ObjectId }]
})

const user = {
  commentIds: [
    '111111111111111111111111',
    '222222222222222222222222'
  ]
}

console.log(postSchema.validate(user))
/*
{ valid: true,
  error: null,
  result: { commentIds: [ 111111111111111111111111, 222222222222222222222222 ] } }
*/

//validate specific field
console.log(postSchema._children.commentIds.validate('lalala'))
/*
{ valid: false,
  error:
   { Error: ($.commentIds[]: "lalala") ✖ (type: ObjectId)
     validator: 'type',
     path: '$.commentIds[]',
     actual: 'lalala',
     expected: [ [Object] ],
     schema: 'postSchema' },
  result: 'lalala' }
*/

Internal type validator

• 'string'
• 'number'
• 'boolean'
• AJS.Types.ObjectId
• AJS.Types.String
• AJS.Types.Number
• AJS.Types.Integer
• AJS.Types.Double
• AJS.Types.Date
• AJS.Types.Buffer
• AJS.Types.Boolean
• AJS.Types.Mixed

What's difference between number and AJS.Types.Number ? number only check type, AJS.Types.Number will try to convert value to a number, if failed then throw error.

const AJS = require('/Users/nswbmw/work/GitHub/Node.js/another-json-schema')

const postSchema = AJS('postSchema', {
  commentIds: [{ type: AJS.Types.ObjectId }]
})

const user = {
  commentIds: [
    '111111111111111111111111',
    '222222222222222222222222'
  ]
}

console.log(postSchema.validate(user))
/*
{ valid: true,
  error: null,
  result: { commentIds: [ 111111111111111111111111, 222222222222222222222222 ] } }
*/

//validate specific field
console.log(postSchema._children.commentIds.validate('lalala'))
/*
{ valid: false,
  error:
   { Error: ($.commentIds[]: "lalala") ✖ (type: ObjectId)
     validator: 'type',
     path: '$.commentIds[]',
     actual: 'lalala',
     expected: [ [Object] ],
     schema: 'postSchema' },
  result: 'lalala' }
*/

Ignore validator

const AJS = require('another-json-schema')

const userSchema = AJS('userSchema', {
  _id: { type: 'number', range: [1, 100] }
})

const user = {
  _id: 0
}

console.log(userSchema.validate(user))
/*
{ valid: false,
  error:
   { Error: ($._id: 0) ✖ (range: 1,100)
     validator: 'range',
     actual: 0,
     expected: { type: 'number', range: [Array] },
     path: '$._id',
     schema: 'userSchema' },
  result: { _id: 0 } }
*/
console.log(userSchema.validate(user, { range: false }))
// { valid: true, error: null, result: { _id: 0 } }

NB: type validator cannot ignore by passing false.

API

AJS([name], schema)

Constructor.

AJS.register(name, fn)

Register a validator. eg:

AJS.register('adult', function (actual, expected, key, parent) {
  return expected ? (actual > 18) : (actual <= 18)
})

ajs.compile([name], schema)

Compile a schema. The following two ways are the same:

const userSchema = AJS('userSchema', {
  _id: { type: 'string', pattern: /^[0-9a-z]{24}$/ },
  name: { type: 'string' },
  age: { type: 'number', gte: 18 },
  gender: { type: 'string', enum: ['male', 'female'] }
})

const newSchema = new AJS()
const userSchema = newSchema.compile('userSchema', {
  _id: { type: 'string', pattern: /^[0-9a-z]{24}$/ },
  name: { type: 'string' },
  age: { type: 'number', gte: 18 },
  gender: { type: 'string', enum: ['male', 'female'] }
})

compiledSchema.validate(data, [opts])

Use the compiled validator to validate an object. it will modify the original object and return it:

• valid: {Boolean} wether a valid object
• error: {Error|null}
  • message: error message, eg: ($.comments[].user._id: "wrong_id") ✖ (pattern: /^[0-9a-z]{24}$/)
  • validator: validator name, eg: pattern,
  • actual: actual value, eg: wrong_id,
  • expected: expected schema, eg: { type: 'string', pattern: /^[0-9a-z]{24}$/ },
  • path: path in object, eg: $.comments[].user._id,
  • schema: schema name, eg: userSchema
  • originError: original error thrown from validator
• result: {Any}

opts:

• additionalProperties: {Boolean} if true, retain the original field. default false
• ignoreNodeType: {Boolean} if true, ignore check node type, like: []. default: false
• gt, gte, lt, lte ...: {Boolean} if false, will not execute this validator.

Built-in validators

• type
• eq|equal
• gt
• gte
• lt
• lte
• range
• enum
• pattern
• default
• required
• all validator's isXxx validators, eg: isEmail. type validator must be string or AJS.Types.String.
