})
.catch(function (errors) {
// validation failed
})
Custom Validation
const _ = require('lodash');
const unique = function (data, field, message, args) {
return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
// get value of field under validation
const fieldValue = _.get(data, field);
// resolve if value does not exists, value existence
// should be taken care by required rule.
if(!fieldValue) {
return resolve('validation skipped');
}
// checking for username inside database
User
.where('username', fieldValue)
.then(function (result) {
if(result){
reject(message);
}else{
resolve('username does not exists');
}
});
.catch(resolve);
});
};
- data - It is the actual data object passed to validate method.
- field - Field is a string value of field under validation.
- message - Error message to return.
