Validator chain which wraps several functions of String, lodash and chriso/validator.

Installation

Usage

    var Valichain = require("valichain");
    var _ = require("lodash");

    // Reusable rules
    var rules = {
        command : new Valichain().default('play')
            ._$isNotNil().msg("Must not be null nor undefined")
            .s$trim()
            .v$isIn(['play', 'pause']).msg("Must be one of play or pause")
    };
    var data = {
        // command : ''

    data = Valichain.extract(Valichain.validate(rules, data));
    
    console.log(data);

Documentation

For documentation of the Valichain class and its own methods, see doc.md. Besides, several methods of String, lodash and chriso/validator are wrapped and used with a prefix followed by a '$'. The first argument of the wrapped function is automatically replaced by the current value being validated, so do not pass it.

Samples of usage of wrapped functions

• String's functions:

  • x.trim() => new V().s$trim().validate(x)

• lodash's functions:

  • _.isNumber(x) => new V(). _$isNumber().validate(x)

• chriso/validator's functions:

  • validator.isEmail(x) => new V().v$isEmail().validate(x)

For datailed help about wrapped functions, checks its own documentation:

• Javascript's String class
• lodash
• chriso/validator
