How to use

To integrate the input tester, create a object containing the rules and include it as parameter. The middleware will automatically read the keys in the req.body and check them against the rules.

const rules = {
    id: {
        regex: /[0-9]/
    },
    uid: {
        regex: /[a-z0-9]/
    }
}

app.use(inputtests(rules));

Every rule object consists of many individual keys witch all require a regex key this key is the default test. The key of every object is the same name as the key-name it will be tested against.

For example a request with the following body will be passed as ok:

{
    id: 3
}

While a request with this body will result in an error:

{
    id: "USER_3"
}

Parameter for rules

Examples:

A test with just a simple regex.

id: {
    regex: /[0-9]/
}

The test will test every data with the key 'id'

A test of an id (with letters in it) it will ignore whitespaces.

id: {
    regex: /[0-9a-zA-Z]/,
    allow_whitespace: true
}

A test of the key 'id' and it will use the same rules on the key 'user_id' and on'product_id'.

id: {
    regex: /[0-9]/,
    aliases: ['user_id', 'product_id']
}

A test of the key 'id' it will allow null.

id: {
    regex: /[[0-9]]/,
    allow_null: true
}
