## README

# openapi-response-validator [![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![Downloads][downloads-image]][npm-url] [![Coveralls Status][coveralls-image]][coveralls-url]
> Validate a response according to an openapi schema.

## Highlights

* Performant.
* Extensively tested.
* Small footprint.
* Leverages [jsonschema](https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsonschema).
* Supports `$ref` in response schemas i.e. `#/definitions/SomeType`.

## Example

See `./test/data-driven/*.js` for more examples.

```javascript
var OpenAPIResponseValidator = require('openapi-response-validator');
var responseValidator = new OpenAPIResponseValidator({
  responses: {
    200: {
      description: 'We found what you were looking for.',
      schema: {
        $ref: '#/definitions/ResourceResponse'
      }
    },
    default: {
      description: 'Something happened...',
      schema: {
        $ref: '#/definitions/SomeErrorResponse'
      }
    }
  },
  definitions: {
    ResourceResponse: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        id: {
          type: 'integer'
        },
        name: {
          type: 'string'
        }
      },
      required: ['id', 'name']
    },
    SomeErrorResponse: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        errorCode: {
          type: 'string'
        },
        message: {
          type: 'string'
        }
      }
    }
  }
});

var someResource = {};
var validationError = responseValidator.validateResponse(200, someResource);

/*
  Validation errors look like this (except for objects in the errors array which
  may be overridden with errorTransformer):
  {
    status: 500,
    message: 'The response was not valid.',
    errors: [
      {
        path: 'foo',
        errorCode: 'type.openapi.responseValidation',
        message: is not of a type(s) string'
      }
    ]
  }
*/
```
