####INSTALLATION

npm install mpm.validation

####USAGE

var validation = require('mpm.validation');
var assert= require('assert');
// instanciate an email validator
var email = validation.Email();
// using the async api
email.validate('[email protected]',function(error,result){
    assert(result==true);
});
email.validate('bogus@web',function(error,result){
        assert(error instanceOf validation.ValidationError);
        console.log(error.message);
});
// using the sync api
assert(email.validateSync('mparaiso.online.fr'));
assert(!email.validateSync('bogus@web'));
console.log(email.getError().message); // should be an email

####Chain Validation // you can chain validators , the chain will stop at the first error var validation = require('mpm.validation'); var chain = validation.Chain( validation.Email(), validation.MinLength(15) ); chain.validate("[email protected]",function(error,res){ assert(res); }); chain.validate("[email protected]",function(error,res){ assert(!res); assert(err instanceof Error); console.log(error.message); });

####Validators

validation.MinLength(min) // min length for a string
validation.MaxLength(max)// max length for a string
validation.Length(min,max)// range for a string length
validation.EqualTo(equalTo) // value should be equal to equalTo
validation.Required()// value should not be null or undefined
validation.Min(min)// number should be at least min
validation.Max(max)//  number should be at most max
validation.Range(min,max)//  number should be between min and max
validation.Regexp(regexp)// value should match a regular expression
validation.Email()// value should be an email
validation.Any(values)// value should be in an array of values
validation.None(values) // value should be none of the values
validation.Every() // validate an array of values. All values should be equal
