json-schema-yup-transformer v1.6.12

Transform a JSON Schema to Yup Schema

A utility to generate a Yup Schema from a valid JSON Schema.

Note: This package only supports yup v0.29.3 and below.

json-schema-yup-transform is heavily inspired by schema-to-yup but strictly supports the draft 7 specification

The main objective is to support as many of the features of the draft 7 specification as possible.

Building

The project is written in TypeScript.

$ yarn build

Output goes into the dist/ directory.

Testing

Tests and code coverage are run with Jest.

$ yarn test

Useful Tools

• JSON Schema Validator

Supported features

String, Number, Integer, Array, Object, Boolean and Null types are supported. The tables below outline which keywords each schema type supports.

String types

Number and Integer types

Array types

Boolean types

Object types

Extending Schemas

Usage

Provide a valid schema and convertToYup will transform it to a yup schema.

import convertToYup from "json-schema-yup-transformer";

const schema = {
  type: "object",
  $schema: "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
  $id: "example",
  title: "Example",
  properties: {
    name: {
      type: "string"
    }
  }
};

// the yup equivalent of the above json schema
// const yupschema = Yup.object().shape({
//     name: Yup.string()
// })

// check validity

const yupschema = convertToYup(schema);
const isValid = yupschema.isValidsync({
  name: "Bruce Tanek"
});
// => true

Applying conditional rules

import convertToYup from "json-schema-yup-transformer";

const schema = {
  type: "object",
  $schema: "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
  $id: "example-conditional-rules",
  title: "Example of conditional rules",
  properties: {
    country: {
      type: "string"
    }
  },
  required: ["country"]
  if: {
      properties: {
          country: {
            const: "Australia"
          }
      }
  }
  then: {
      properties: {
          residencyYears: {
              type: "number",
              minimum: 12
          }
      },
      required: ["residencyYears"]
  }
};

// the yup equivalent of the above json schema
// const yupschema = Yup.object().shape({
//     country: Yup.string().required(),
//     residencyYears: Yup.number().when('country', {
//      is: 'true'
//      then: Yup.number().required()
//    })
// })

// check validity

const yupschema = convertToYup(schema)
const isValid = yupschema.isValidsync({
    country: "Australia",
    residencyYears: 15
})
// => true

Applying multiple types

import convertToYup from "json-schema-yup-transformer";

const schema = {
  type: "object",
  $schema: "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
  $id: "example-multiple-types",
  title: "Example of multiple types",
  properties: {
    name: {
      type: ["string", "null"]
    }
  }
};

// the yup equivalent of the above json schema
// const yupschema = Yup.object().shape({
//     name: Yup.lazy(value => {
//       switch (typeof value) {
//          case 'string':
//              return Yup.number();
//          case 'null':
//              return Yup.mixed().notRequired();
//          default:
//              return Yup.mixed();
//       }
//    })
// })

// check validity

const yupschema = convertToYup(schema);
const isValid = yupschema.isValidsync({
  name: null
});
// => true

Providing custom error messages

The structure of the configuration error messages need to adhere to the path of that field in the schema as well as the associated schema validation keyword.

import convertToYup from "json-schema-yup-transformer";

const schema = {
  type: "object",
  $schema: "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
  $id: "example-custom-error-messages",
  title: "Exampel of custom error messages",
  properties: {
    team: {
      type: "object",
      properties: {
        name: {
          type: "string"
        }
      }
    }
  },
  required: ["name"]
};

// configuration for custom error messages

const config = {
  errors: {
    team: {
      name: {
        required: "Custom error message"
      }
    }
  }
};

// check validity
const yupschema = convertToYup(schema, config);
let errorMessage;
try {
  errorMessage = yupschema.validateSync();
} catch (e) {
  errorMessage = e.errors[0];
}
// => "Custom error message"

Using error handlers to further customise error messages

import convertToYup from "json-schema-yup-transformer";

const schema = {
  type: "object",
  $schema: "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
  $id: "example-custom-error-messages",
  title: "Exampel of custom error messages",
  properties: {
    team: {
      type: "object",
      properties: {
        name: {
          type: "string"
        }
      }
    }
  },
  required: ["name"]
};

// configuration for custom error messages

const config = {
  errors: {
    team: {
      name: {
        required: ([key, { required }]) =>
          `${key} field is invalid. Here is a list of required fields: ${required}`
      }
    }
  }
};

// check validity
const yupschema = convertToYup(schema, config);
let errorMessage;
try {
  errorMessage = yupschema.validateSync();
} catch (e) {
  errorMessage = e.errors[0];
}
// => "name field is invalid. Here is a list of required fields: name"

Setting default error messages for a type

import convertToYup from "json-schema-yup-transformer";

const schema = {
  type: "object",
  $schema: "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
  $id: "example-default-error-messages",
  title: "Example of default error messages",
  properties: {
    team: {
      type: "object",
      properties: {
        name: {
          type: "string"
        }
      }
    }
  }
};

// set default error message for type of string

const config = {
  errors: {
    defaults: {
      string: "Custom error message"
    }
  }
};

// check validity
const yupschema = convertToYup(schema, config);
let errorMessage;
try {
  errorMessage = yupschema.validateSync({
    team: {
      name: null
    }
  });
} catch (e) {
  errorMessage = e.errors[0];
}
// => "Custom error message"

Applying definitions and \$ref

import convertToYup from "json-schema-yup-transformer";

let schema: JSONSchema7 = {
  type: "object",
  $schema: "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
  $id: "example-definitions",
  title: "Example of definitions",
  definitions: {
    address: {

    }
  },
  properties: {
    mailingAddress: {
      $ref: "#/definitions/address"
    }
  }
};

// check validity

const isValid = yupschema.isValidsync({
  mailingAddress: {
    street_address: "18 Rover street",
    city: "New York City",
    state: "New York"
  }
});
// => true
