@stoplight/better-ajv-errors v1.0.3

JSON Schema validation for Human 👨‍🎤

Main goal of this library is to provide relevant AJV error messages. It's a fork of great better-ajv-errors by Atlassian, with focus on being leaner.

Installation

$ yarn add @stoplight/better-ajv-errors

or

$ npm i @stoplight/better-ajv-errors

Also make sure that you installed ajv package to validate data against JSON schemas.

Usage

First, you need to validate your payload with ajv. If it's invalid then you can pass validate.errors object into better-ajv-errors.

import Ajv from 'ajv';
import betterAjvErrors from '@stoplight/better-ajv-errors';
// const Ajv = require('ajv');
// const betterAjvErrors = require('better-ajv-errors');

// You need to pass `jsonPointers: true`
const ajv = new Ajv({ jsonPointers: true });

// Load schema and data
const schema = ...;
const data = ...;

const validate = ajv.compile(schema);
const valid = validate(data);

if (!valid) {
  const output = betterAjvErrors(schema, validate.errors, {
    propertyPath: [],
    targetValue: data,
  });
  console.log(output);
}
