An extensible JSON Schema for validating and optionally coercing JSON API query parameters for fetching data.

Notes

  • The request querystring is expected to have been parsed into an object.
// Example Original URL:
// http://localhost:3000/?include=author&fields%5Barticles%5D=title%2Cbody&fields%5Bpeople%5D=name

// Parsed querystring:
{
  include: 'author',
  fields: {
    articles: ['title', 'body']
  },
  fields: {
    people: 'name'
  }
}
  • The values of the query object can be strings or coerced to expected value types prior to validation. By default the object values will be coerced if strings and validation succeeds.
  • Per the JSON API specification, any additional query parameters are ignored for validation and coercion by the validation method.

Installation

npm i --save @centralping/json-api-query

API Reference

jsonApiQuery~schema : Object

Module property that generates a new deep copy of the default schema on every import. Apply any extensions and provide as an optional schema for the validate method.

Kind: inner property of jsonApiQuery

jsonApiQuery~parse ⇒ Object

Kind: inner property of jsonApiQuery
Returns: Object - A url parse object.

ParamTypeDescription
urlStringAny URL string.

Example

const url = '/foo/bar?include=author&fields%5Barticles%5D=title%2Cbody&fields%5Bpeople%5D=name';
const {query, pathname, ...extra} = parse(url);
// query
// {
//   include: [ 'author' ],
//   fields: {
//     articles: ['title', 'body'],
//     people: ['name']
//   }
// }
// pathname
// '/foo/bar'

jsonApiQuery~validate ⇒ function

Kind: inner property of jsonApiQuery
Returns: function - the configured validator function

ParamTypeDefaultDescription
optionsObjectany AJV option.
options.coerceTypesBoolean | String'array'coerce validated values to specified types.
options.ownPropertiesBooleantruerestrict validation to own properties of data object.
schemaObjectJSON Schema. Defaults to the included schema.

Example

const validator = validate();
const valid = validator(queryParams); // where queryParams is an object

if (!valid) {
  // Log errors
  console.log(validator.errors);
}

Examples

For Default Verification

const {validate} = require('@centralping/json-api-query');

const validator = validate();

// queryParams would be an query param object to validate/coerce
const valid = validator(queryParams);

if (!valid) {
  // Log errors
  console.log(validator.errors);
}

For Extended Verification

const {validate, schema} = require('@centralping/json-api-query');

// extend schema

const validator = validate(undefined, schema);

// queryParams would be an query param object to validate/coerce
const valid = validator(queryParams);

if (!valid) {
  // Log errors
  console.log(validator.errors);
}

For AJV options

const {validate} = require('@centralping/json-api-query');

const validator = validate({allErrors: true});

// queryParams would be an query param object to validate/coerce
const valid = validator(queryParams);

if (!valid) {
  // Log errors
  console.log(validator.errors);
}

For Parsing & Verification

const {parse, validate} = require('@centralping/json-api-query');

const validator = validate();
const {query} = parse(url); // url is a string

const valid = validator(query);

if (!valid) {
  // Log errors
  console.log(validator.errors);
}
