Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

jsonpolice

A Javascript library implementing the JSON Schema draft 7.

The library can optionally decorate parsed objects in order to have them return default values defined in the schema, for undefined properties.

travis build Coverage Status npm version

Install

$ npm install jsonpolice

create(dataOrUri, options)

Create a new instance of schema validator.

  • dataOrUri, the schema to parse or a fully qualified URI to pass to retriever to download the schema
  • options, parsing options, the following optional properties are supported:
    • scope (required), the current resolution scope (absolute URL) of URLs and paths.
    • registry, an object to use to cache resolved id and $ref values. If no registry is passed, one is automatically created. Pass a registry if you are going to parse several schemas or URIs referencing the same id and $ref values.
    • retriever, a function accepting a URL in input and returning a promise resolved to an object representing the data downloaded for the URI. Whenever a $ref to a new URI is found, if the URI is not already cached in the store in use, it'll be fetched using this retriever. If not retriever is passed and a URI needs to be downloaded, a no_retriever exception is thrown. Refer to the documentation of jsonref for sample retriever functions to use in the browser or with Node.js.

The function returns a Promise resolving to a new instance of Schema. Once created, a schema instance can be used repeatedly to validate data, calling the method Schema.validate.

Example

import * as jp from 'jsonpolice';

(async () => {

  const schema = jp.create({
    type: 'object',
    properties: {
      d: {
        type: 'string',
        format: 'date-time'
      },
      i: {
        type: 'integer'
      },
      b: {
        type: [ 'boolean', 'number' ]
      },
      c: {
        default: 5
      }
    }
  });
  
  try {
    const result = await schema.validate({
      d: (new Date()).toISOString(),
      i: 6,
      b: true
    });
  } catch(err) {
    // validation failed
  }

})();

Schema.validate(data [, options])

Validates the input data

  • data, the data to parse
  • options, validation options, the following optional properties are supported:
    • setDefault, if true returns the default value specified in the schema (if any) for undefined properties
    • removeAdditional, if true deletes properties not validating against additionalProperties, without failing
    • context, if set to read deletes writeOnly properties, if set to write delete readOnly properties

Returns a decorated version of data, according to the specified options.

Example

Using the following schema:

{
  type: 'object',
  properties: {
    d: {
      type: 'string',
    },
    i: {
      type: 'integer'
    },
    b: {
      type: [ 'boolean', 'number' ]
    },
    c: {
      default: 5
    }
  }
}

And parsing the following data:

var output = schema.validate({
  d: 'test',
  i: 10,
  b: true
});

Produces the following output:

{
  "d": "test",
  "i": 10,
  "b": true,
  "c": 5
}
