meteor-simple-schema-transform

Transform Meteor SimpleSchema objects into other objects and functions for use with a variety of form engines, validators, etc.

SST (SimpleSchemaTransform)

A helper to turn a Meteor SimpleSchema into a variety of translations and transformations, for use with any other form builder, validator, submitter, etc.

The goal is to make SimpleSchema a portable source, for other libraries.

Status

This is a very early idea project. Take a look at this forum thread

Also checkout the excellent uniforms project for a more complete solution for forms (though more tied to Meteor).

Install

npm i --save meteor-simple-schema-transform

Usage

There are various parts you may want to use. Include only those tools you need.

SST.buildClean

Build SimpleSchema into a value cleanup function - clean values object based on schema

// MyContainer
import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor';
import { createContainer } from 'meteor/react-meteor-data';
import { MyPage } from '../pages/MyPage';

import SST from 'meteor-simple-schema-transform';

const mySchema = new SimpleSchema({
  name: {
    label: "Friendly Name",
    type: String,
    min: 3,
    max: 30,
  }
});

const cleaner = SST.buildClean(mySchema);

export default createContainer(({ params }) => {
  // ....
  saveData (data) {
    Meteor.call('myMethod', cleaner(data), (err) => {
      if (err) console.error('Got Error on saveData', err);
    });
  }
  return {
    saveData
  }
}, MyPage);

SST.forReduxForm.buildValidate

Build SimpleSchema into a validate function for use with ReduxForm

// MyContainer
import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor';
import { createContainer } from 'meteor/react-meteor-data';
import { MyPage } from '../pages/MyPage';

import SST from 'meteor-simple-schema-transform';

const mySchema = new SimpleSchema({
  name: {
    label: "Friendly Name",
    type: String,
    min: 3,
    max: 30,
  }
});

const cleaner = SST.buildClean(mySchema);
const validate = SST.forReduxForm.buildValidate(mySchema);

export default createContainer(({ params }) => {
  // ....
  saveData (data) {
    Meteor.call('myMethod', cleaner(data), (err) => {
      if (err) console.error('Got Error on saveData', err);
    });
  }
  return {
    saveData,
    validate
  }
}, MyPage);

Roadmap

• [x] Proof of concept
• [ ] other easy schema validate variations
• [ ] other easy schema transformations
