cocache-schema

A react-schema based validation layer for Cocache.

Cocache instances can accept a schema option that defines the structure of the records that are expected to be stored within that cache.

Installation

Pull it down from npm:

npm install --save cocache cocache-schema

You need an ES6 transpiler to use the module.

const Cocache = require('cocache');
const { shape, string } = require('react-schema');

const cache = Cocache({
  recordValidators: [ require('cocache-schema') ],
  schema: shape({
    id: string,
    name: string
  })
});

Validations

Let's assume we have a "user" cache with the following schema defined:

const Cocache = require('cocache');
const { shape, string } = require('react-schema').PropTypes;

const cache = Cocache({
  displayName: 'UserCache',
  recordValidators: [ require('cocache-schema') ],
  schema: shape({
    id: string,
    name: string.isRequired
  })
});

Required attributes

Attributes marked as isRequired will be required by every record going in to the cache. Example:

cache.add({ id: '1', name: 'Bongo' });
// => true

cache.add({ id: '2' });
// => Error("IntegrityViolation: Attribute "name" is missing. (source: Cocache[UserCache])")

Unknown attributes

Attributes not found in the schema will be rejected. Very useful to make sure you document every attribute you use and that you don't leak information you shouldn't.

cache.add({ id: '2', favoriteColor: 'bananas' });
// => Error("IntegrityViolation: Attribute "favoriteColor" is not specified in the schema. (source: Cocache[UserCache])")

Invalid attributes

Attributes that have a type mis-match will be rejected.

cache.add({ id: '2', name: 5 });
// => Error("IntegrityViolation: Invalid prop `name` of type `number` supplied to `UserCache`, expected `string`. (source: Cocache[UserCache])")
