mongoose-validatorjs v0.7.1

mongoose-validatorjs

Validators for Mongoose schemas using validator.js

Installation

npm install mongoose-validatorjs --save

Usage example

ES6

import MongooseValidator from 'mongoose-validatorjs';

ES2015

var MongooseValidator = require('mongoose-validatorjs');

then...

const UserSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    email: { type: String, default: null },
    username: { type: String, default: null }
});

const validate = new MongooseValidator(UserSchema);
validate.field('email').required().isEmail();
validate.field('username').isAlphanumeric();

You can chain as many validators as you need. That simple!

Required fields

validator.js will always pass a validation if the field is null, undefined or empty string.

Use required() to prevent this behavior.

Validators

This module utilises validator.js so the API is pretty much the same. For your convenience, here is the official docs, modified according to the use of this package:

• contains(seed) - check if the string contains the seed.
• equals(comparison) - check if the string matches the comparison.
• isAfter(date) - check if the string is a date that's after the specified date (defaults to now).
• isAlpha(locale) - check if the string contains only letters (a-zA-Z). Locale is one of ['ar', 'ar-AE', 'ar-BH', 'ar-DZ', 'ar-EG', 'ar-IQ', 'ar-JO', 'ar-KW', 'ar-LB', 'ar-LY', 'ar-MA', 'ar-QA', 'ar-QM', 'ar-SA', 'ar-SD', 'ar-SY', 'ar-TN', 'ar-YE', 'cs-CZ', 'da-DK', 'de-DE', 'en-AU', 'en-GB', 'en-HK', 'en-IN', 'en-NZ', 'en-US', 'en-ZA', 'en-ZM', 'es-ES', 'fr-FR', 'hu-HU', 'nl-NL', 'pl-PL', 'pt-BR', 'pt-PT', 'ru-RU', 'sr-RS', 'sr-RS@latin', 'tr-TR', 'uk-UA']) and defaults to en-US.
• isAlphanumeric(locale) - check if the string contains only letters and numbers. Locale is one of ['ar', 'ar-AE', 'ar-BH', 'ar-DZ', 'ar-EG', 'ar-IQ', 'ar-JO', 'ar-KW', 'ar-LB', 'ar-LY', 'ar-MA', 'ar-QA', 'ar-QM', 'ar-SA', 'ar-SD', 'ar-SY', 'ar-TN', 'ar-YE', 'cs-CZ', 'da-DK', 'de-DE', 'en-AU', 'en-GB', 'en-HK', 'en-IN', 'en-NZ', 'en-US', 'en-ZA', 'en-ZM', 'es-ES', 'fr-FR', 'fr-BE', 'hu-HU', 'nl-BE', 'nl-NL', 'pl-PL', 'pt-BR', 'pt-PT', 'ru-RU', 'sr-RS', 'sr-RS@latin', 'tr-TR', 'uk-UA']) and defaults to en-US.
• isAscii() - check if the string contains ASCII chars only.
• isBase64() - check if a string is base64 encoded.
• isBefore(date) - check if the string is a date that's before the specified date.
• isBoolean() - check if a string is a boolean.
• isByteLength(options) - check if the string's length (in UTF-8 bytes) falls in a range. options is an object which defaults to {min:0, max: undefined}.
• isCreditCard() - check if the string is a credit card.
• isCurrency(options) - check if the string is a valid currency amount. options is an object which defaults to {symbol: '$', require_symbol: false, allow_space_after_symbol: false, symbol_after_digits: false, allow_negatives: true, parens_for_negatives: false, negative_sign_before_digits: false, negative_sign_after_digits: false, allow_negative_sign_placeholder: false, thousands_separator: ',', decimal_separator: '.', allow_space_after_digits: false }.
• isDataURI() - check if the string is a data uri format.
• isDecimal() - check if the string represents a decimal number, such as 0.1, .3, 1.1, 1.00003, 4.0, etc.
• isDivisibleBy(number) - check if the string is a number that's divisible by another.
• isEmail(options) - check if the string is an email. options is an object which defaults to { allow_display_name: false, require_display_name: false, allow_utf8_local_part: true, require_tld: true }. If allow_display_name is set to true, the validator will also match Display Name <email-address>. If require_display_name is set to true, the validator will reject strings without the format Display Name <email-address>. If allow_utf8_local_part is set to false, the validator will not allow any non-English UTF8 character in email address' local part. If require_tld is set to false, e-mail addresses without having TLD in their domain will also be matched.
• isEmpty() - check if the string has a length of zero.
• isFQDN(options) - check if the string is a fully qualified domain name (e.g. domain.com). options is an object which defaults to { require_tld: true, allow_underscores: false, allow_trailing_dot: false }.
• isFloat(options) - check if the string is a float. options is an object which can contain the keys min, max, gt, and/or lt to validate the float is within boundaries (e.g. { min: 7.22, max: 9.55 }). min and max are equivalent to 'greater or equal' and 'less or equal', respectively while gt and lt are their strict counterparts.
• isFullWidth() - check if the string contains any full-width chars.
• isHalfWidth() - check if the string contains any half-width chars.
• isHexColor() - check if the string is a hexadecimal color.
• isHexadecimal() - check if the string is a hexadecimal number.
• isIP(version) - check if the string is an IP (version 4 or 6).
• isISBN(version) - check if the string is an ISBN (version 10 or 13).
• isISSN(options) - check if the string is an ISSN. options is an object which defaults to { case_sensitive: false, require_hyphen: false }. If case_sensitive is true, ISSNs with a lowercase 'x' as the check digit are rejected.

• isISO8601() - check if the string is a valid ISO 8601 date.
• isIn(values) - check if the string is in a array of allowed values.
• isInt(options) - check if the string is an integer. options is an object which can contain the keys min and/or max to check the integer is within boundaries (e.g. { min: 10, max: 99 }). options can also contain the key allow_leading_zeroes, which when set to false will disallow integer values with leading zeroes (e.g. { allow_leading_zeroes: false }). Finally, options can contain the keys gt and/or lt which will enforce integers being greater than or less than, respectively, the value provided (e.g. {gt: 1, lt: 4} for a number between 1 and 4).
• isJSON() - check if the string is valid JSON (note: uses JSON.parse).
• isLength(options) - check if the string's length falls in a range. options is an object which defaults to {min:0, max: undefined}. Note: this function takes into account surrogate pairs.

Custom validator

You can also add a custom validator of your own. Just chain custom(), see example:

validate.field('hobbies').custom((value) => {
  return value.length > 3;
});

Note: you can pass a second argument to custom() to make a custom error message. See examples below.

Custom error messages

Set a custom error message to be used when the validator fails. If you don't set it, mongoose-validatorjs will use its corresponding default. Enhanced message templating is supported by giving the ability to use the validator arguments. You can use these like {ARGS[argument index position]}.

validate.field('email')
	.required({message: 'Cannot be blank'});

validate.field('username')
	.contains('user_', {message: 'The prefix {ARGS[0]} is missing'});

Note: You can use {ARGS[0]} even if your arguments is an object or string.
