Documentation

Documentation is not available, as the S4TK docs website is being redesigned.

For now, here is the most useful information:

Import the validation functions

// use below for ESM / TS
import { validatePackageBuffer, validateResources } from "@s4tk/validation";

// use below for CJS
const { validatePackageBuffer, validateResources } = require("@s4tk/validation");

Using the validation functions

// to validate a package file without first parsing it
const result = validatePackageBuffer(buffer); // buffer = Buffer for a .package file

// to validate the entries in an already-parsed package
const result = validateResources(pkg.entries); // pkg = Package from @s4tk/models

// to validate individual resources / entries
const result = validateResources(entries); // entries = ResourceKeyPair[] from @s4tk/models

Using the validation result

The result in all the above lines is a readonly ValidatedResource[] object. You can read more about the ValidatedResource type and its associated interfaces in lib/types/resources.ts.
