restify-validation

Validation for REST Services built with node-restify in node.js

Requirements

• node-restify-validation requires at least restify 2.6.0 since the validation model is defined in the route-object. (https://github.com/mcavage/node-restify/pull/408)
• Currently it is required to map all parameters to the "params-scope" through the mapParams-option, since all validations will be performed agains the req.params object.

Simple request validation with node-restify

Goal of this little project is to have the validation rules / schema as close to the route itself as possible on one hand without messing up the logic with further LOCs on the other hand.

Example:

restifyValidation = require "restify-validation"
Type = restifyValidation.type
server = restify.createServer()
server.use restify.queryParser()
server.use restifyValidation.validationPlugin()

server.get
  url: "/test/:name"
  validation:
    name:
      type: Type.String
      in: [
        "foo"
        "bar"
      ]
    status:
      required: false
      type: Type.String
      notIn: [
        "closed"
      ]
    email: Type.Email
    homepage: Type.Domain
    authentication: ->
      return _.has @.params.authentication, ["type"]
, (req, res, next) ->
  res.send req.params
  return next()

server.listen 8001, ->
