========================== Validators |travis_status|

.. |travis_status| image:: https://secure.travis-ci.org/insin/validators.png :target: http://travis-ci.org/insin/validators

Validators which can be shared between browsers and Node.js, based on Django's core validators.

Validators are Functions which take a value and throw a ValidationError if they detect that it is invalid.

Browsers:

• validators.js_ / validators.min.js_

Node.js::

npm install validators

.. _Node.js: http://nodejs.org/ .. _Django: https://www.djangoproject.com/ .. _validators.js: https://raw.github.com/insin/validators/master/validators.js .. _validators.min.js: https://raw.github.com/insin/validators/master/validators.min.js

Error

ValidationError(messages[, {code: null, params: null}])

Validation error constructor.

For customisation purposes, in addition to a validation message, a ValidationError may specify a code to itentify the category of error and any params which were inserted into the validation message, when applicable.

For messages, you can pass:

• a single message as a String
• a list of messages
• an object containing field-specific messages, with properties corresponding to field names.

Utilities

EMPTY_VALUES

Defines input values for which a field is considered to be empty. These are:

• null
• undefined
• ''

Validators

RegexValidator(options)

Creates a validator which validates that input matches a regular expression.

Options which can be passed are:

• regex -- the regular expression pattern to search for the provided value, or a pre-compiled RegExp. By default, matches any string (including an empty string)
• message -- the error message used by ValidationError if validation fails. Defaults to "Enter a valid value".
• code -- the error code used by ValidationError if validation fails. Defaults to "invalid".
• inverseMatch -- the match mode for regex. Defaults to false.

URLValidator(options)

Creates a validator which validates that input looks like a valid URL.

Options which can be passed are:

• schemes -- allowed URL schemes. Defaults to ['http', 'https', 'ftp', 'ftps'].

EmailValidator(options)

Creates a validator which validates that input looks like a valid e-mail address.

Options which can be passed are:

• message -- error message to be used in any generated ValidationError.
• code -- error code to be used in any generated ValidationError.
• whitelist -- a whitelist of domains which are allowed to be the only thing to the right of the @ in a valid email address -- defaults to ['localhost'].

validateEmail(value)

Validates that input looks like a valid e-mail address -- this is a preconfigured instance of an EmailValidator,

validateSlug(value)

Validates that input is a valid slug.

validateIPv4Address(value)

Validates that input is a valid IPv4 address.

validateIPv6Address(value)

Validates that input is a valid IPv6 address.

validateIPv46Address(value)

Validates that input is a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address.

ipAddressValidators(protocol[, unpackIPv4])

Returns the appropriate validator for validating IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, passing 'ipv4', 'ipv6', or 'both' as protocol.

If a truthy unpackIPv4 argument is given and protocol is not 'both', an Error will be thrown.

validateCommaSeparatedIntegerList(value)

Validates that input is a comma-separated list of integers.

BaseValidator(limitValue)

Base constructor for validators which compare input against a given value.

MaxValueValidator(limitValue)

Validates that input is less than or equal to a given value.

MinValueValidator(limitValue)

Validates that input is greater than or equal to a given value.

MaxLengthValidator(limitValue)

Validates that input is at least a given length.

MinLengthValidator(limitValue)

Validates that input is at most a given length.

Additional IPv6 Functions

ipv6.isValidIPv6Address(value)

Returns true if input is a valid IPv6 address, false otherwise.

ipv6.cleanIPv6Address(value[, {errorMessage: '...', unpackIPv4: false}])

Cleans an IPv6 address string -- replaces the longest continious zero-sequence with '::' and removes leading zeroes and makes sure all hextets are lowercase.

If an invalid address is passed, a ValidationError is thrown.
