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

Build Status

jsonschema

JSON schema validator, which is designed to be fast and simple to use. The latest IETF published draft is v4, this library is mostly v4 compatible.

Contributing & bugs

Please fork the repository, make the changes in your fork and include tests. Once you're done making changes, send in a pull request.

Bug reports

Please include a test which shows why the code fails.

Usage

Simple

Simple object validation using JSON schemas.

  var Validator = require('jsonschema').Validator;
  var v = new Validator();
  var instance = 4;
  var schema = {"type": "number"};
  console.log(v.validate(instance, schema));

Even simpler

  var validate = require('jsonschema').validate;
  console.log(validate(4, {"type": "number"}));

Complex example, with split schemas and references

  var Validator = require('jsonschema').Validator;
  var v = new Validator();

  // Address, to be embedded on Person
  var addressSchema = {
    "id": "/SimpleAddress",
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
      "lines": {
        "type": "array",
        "items": {"type": "string"}
      },
      "zip": {"type": "string"},
      "city": {"type": "string"},
      "country": {"type": "string", "required": true}
    }
  };

  // Person
  var schema = {
    "id": "/SimplePerson",
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
      "name": {"type": "string"},
      "address": {"$ref": "/SimpleAddress"},
      "votes": {"type": "integer", "minimum": 1}
    }
  };

  var p = {
    "name": "Barack Obama",
    "address": {
      "lines": [ "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest" ],
      "zip": "DC 20500",
      "city": "Washington",
      "country": "USA"
    },
    "votes": "lots"
  };

  v.addSchema(addressSchema, '/SimpleAddress');
  console.log(v.validate(p, schema));

Features

Definitions

All schema definitions are supported, $schema is ignored.

Types

All types are supported

String Formats

All formats are supported, phone numbers are expected to follow the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.123 standard.

Results

The first error found will be thrown as an Error object if options.throwError is true. Otherwise all results will be appended to the result.errors array which also contains the success flag result.valid.

Custom properties

Specify your own JSON Schema properties with the validator.attributes property:

validator.attributes.contains = function validateContains(instance, schema, options, ctx) {
  if(typeof instance!='string') return;
  if(typeof schema.contains!='string') throw new jsonschema.SchemaError('"contains" expects a string', schema);
  if(instance.indexOf()<0){
    return 'does not contain the string '+JSON.stringify(schema.contains);
  }
}
var result = validator.validate({x:0, y:10}, {type:"object", radius:{x:10, y:10, radius:5}});

The instance passes validation if the function returns nothing. A single validation error is produced if the fuction returns a string. Any number of errors (maybe none at all) may be returned by passing a ValidatorResult object, which may be used like so:

  var result = new ValidatorResult(instance, schema, options, ctx);
  while(someErrorCondition()){
    result.addError('fails some validation test');
  }
  return result;

Dereferencing schemas

Sometimes you may want to download schemas from remote sources, like a database, or over HTTP. When importing a schema, unknown references are inserted into the validator.unresolvedRefs Array. Asynchronously shift elements off this array and import them:

  var Validator = require('jsonschema').Validator;
  var v = new Validator();
  v.addSchema(initialSchema);
  function importNextSchema(){
    var nextSchema = v.unresolvedRefs.shift();
    if(!nextSchema){ done(); return; }
    databaseGet(nextSchema, function(schema){
      v.addSchema(schema);
      importNextSchema();
    });
  }
  importNextSchema();

Tests

Uses [https://github.com/json-schema/JSON-Schema-Test-Suite](JSON Schema Test Suite) as well as our own tests. You'll need to update and init the git submodules:

git submodule update --init
npm test
