validators~isTxHexOfExactLength(txs, length)

Param	Type
txs	string
length	number

validators~isTxHexOfMaxLength(txs, length)

Param	Type
txs	string
length	number

validators~isEmpty(hash)

Param	Type
hash	string

Checks if input contains 0s only.

validators~isEmptyBytes(bytes)

Param	Type
bytes	TxBytes

Checks if input contains 0s only.

validators~isHash(hash)

Param	Type
hash	TxHex

Checks if input is correct hash (64 txs) or address with checksum (72 txs)

validators~isAddress(hash)

Param	Type
hash	string

Checks if input is correct address or address with checksum (72 txs)

validators~isInput(address)

Param	Type
address	TxHex

Checks if input is valid input object. Address can be passed with or without checksum. It does not validate the checksum.

validators~isTag(tag)

Param	Type
tag	TxHex

Checks that input is valid tag txs.

validators~isTransfer(transfer)

Valid Examples:

udp://domain.com
udp://domain2.com:14265

validators~validate()

Throws:

Error error

Runs each validator in sequence, and throws on the first occurence of invalid data. Validators are passed as arguments and executed in given order. You might want place validate() in promise chains before operations that require valid inputs, taking advantage of built-in promise branching.

Example

try {
  validate([
    value, // Given value
    isTxHex, // Validator function
    'Invalid TxHex' // Error message
  ])
} catch (err) {
  console.log(err.message) // 'Invalid TxHex'
}
