Stephen627-node-validation NPM

Node Validation

A small simple library to validate JavaScript objects

Install

$ npm i stephen627-node-validation

Example

const validation = require('stephen627-node-validation');

const validator = new validation.Validator();
validator.setRules({
    foo: 'required',
    bar: 'required|regex:[0-9]+',
}).setData({
    foo: 'bar',
    bar: 123,
});

// Returns true or false based on whether or not the validation passed
validator.passes();
// Gets the errors if any that the validator found
validator.getErrors();

An example output of the getErrors() function is:

[
  'foo is required',
  'bar is required',
  'bar does not meet the required format of [0-9]+'
]

You can add your own rules they just need to implement the Rule interface, they also need to have a default export of the Rule class. Here is an example of a rule in TypeScript.

import { Rule } from 'stephen627-node-validation';

class Required implements Rule {

  public validate (data: string): boolean {
    return !!data;
  }

  public getErrorString (key: string): string {
    return `${key} is required`;
  }

}

export default Required;
