API

ardent(schema, [options])

schema

Required Type: object

Created a Factory for validate a schema based in a set of rules.

Rules are setup following two approach

Basic

Just provide key/value pair per rule, where key is the name of the rule and value the type casting result:

var basicSchema = {
  age: Number
}

Advanced

The basic mode is a simplification of the advanced mode.

While in basic mode only is possible setup type casting, in advanced mode you can setup more things providing a configurable object.

The following keys setup your rule:

• type: as in basic mode, it specifies the type casting of the output value.
• default: whatever default value that you can set if nill value as input is provided.
• filter: an Array collection of data transforms as pipeline of methods to apply for the input value.

function trim (str) {
  return str.trim()
}
    
var advancedSchema = {
  age: {
    type: String,
    default: '23',
    filter: [trim]
  }
}
