jab-validator

node-validator + string sanitize functions

Deprecated

see: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@b-flower/bdn-validator

Usage

Install

npm install jab-validator

Define schema

// user_validate.js

var validator = require('jab-validator');
var validate  = validator.validate;
var clean     = validator.clean;
var builder   = validator.builder

var user = {
  email: [validate('isEmail'), validate('notNull')]
, name: {
    last: [validate('required'), clean('capitalize')]
    // notEmpty == required
  , first: [validate('notEmpty')]
  , middle: [validate('isUppercase')]
  , abc: {
      a: [validate('isEmail')]
    }
  }
, has: [validate('contains', 'b')]
};

Build validator

// user_validate.js

var user_validator   = builder(user);
module.export = user_validator;

Validate & clean data

// user_controller.js
// ...
var user_validator = require('user_validate.js');
var o_user = {
  email: 'test@toto'
, name: {
    last: 'myname'
  , first: ''
  , middle: 'qsdf'
  }
, has: 'abc'
};

var clean_data = user_validator(o_user);
// ...

Check errors

// user_controller.js
// ...
console.log(clean_data._errors)
// => undefined if no errors

Continuation-passing style

You can use built validator with continuation-passing style (not async)

var validator = require('jab-validator');
var validate  = validator.validate;
var clean     = validator.clean;
var builder   = validator.builder;

var user = {
  email: [validate('isEmail'), validate('notNull')]
, username: [validate('required')]
};

var user_vdor = validator.builder(user);

var user_data = {
  email: '[email protected]'
, username: 'me&nobodyelse'
};

user_vdor(user_data, function(err, clean_data) {
  if (err) return handleError(err);
  // save clean_data
});

No check on empty value but required

var validator = require('jab-validator');
var validate  = validator.validate;
var clean     = validator.clean;
var builder   = validator.builder;

var schema = {
      is_int: [
        validate('isInt')
      ]
    , is_req: [validate('required'), validate('isInt')]
    }

  , validator = builder(schema)

  , object = {
      is_int: ''
    , is_req: ''
    };

var res = validator(object);

assert.equal(JSON.stringify(res._errors), '{"is_req":["String is empty","Invalid integer"]}');
delete res._errors
assert.equal(JSON.stringify(res), '{"is_int":"","is_req":""}');

Include built schema as sub schema

var validator = require('jab-validator');
var validate  = validator.validate;
var clean     = validator.clean;
var builder   = validator.builder;

var sub = {
  fd: [validate('notEmpty')]
};
var sub_cleaner = builder(sub);

var main = {
  sub_schema: sub_cleaner
, other: [validate('notEmpty')]
, last: [validate('notNull')]
};

var compare = {
  sub_schema: sub
, other: [validate('notEmpty')]
, last: [validate('notNull')]
};

compare = builder(compare);
main = builder(main);

assert.equal(JSON.stringify(main), JSON.stringify(compare));

// now validate data
var data = {
      other: 'xx'
    , last: 'last value'
    , sub_schema: {
        fd: 'df val'
      }
    };

data = main(data); // same result as compare(data);

Accept custom validator

var validator = require('jab-validator');
var validate  = validator.validate;
var clean     = validator.clean;

function myValidator(value) {
  return value > 1 ? true : false;
}

var schema = {
      is_custom: [validate('custom', myValidator)]
    };

Custom validator access full_object

function myValidator(value) {
  return Number(value) > 1 && this.another == 'Hello';
}

var schema = {
    is_custom: [validate('custom', myValidator)]
  , another: [clean('trim')]
  }
, validator = builder(schema)

, object = {
    is_custom: 2
  , another: 'Hello'
  }
, res      = validator(object)
// =>  {"is_custom":"2","another":"Hello"}

Accept custom message

 var schema = {
     my_attr: [validate({ fn: 'isInt', msg: 'Is it possible to have an integer ?' })]
   }
