Overview

validator-chain-util is a utility library for the validator.js project. You can verify data through chain functions, or use schema to verify data. It supports wildcard attribute selectors, you can use wildcards to validate data inside arrays or objects.

Getting Started

Installation

# NPM 
npm install validator-chain-util

# Yarn
yarn add validator-chain-util

Usage

JavaScript

const { valid,validatorCheck} = require('validator-chain-util');  // only chain
const { valid,validatorSchema,validatorCheck } = require('validator-chain-util'); // chain and schema

TypeScript

import valid,{validatorCheck} from 'validator-chain-util'; // only chain
import valid,{validatorSchema,validatorCheck} from 'validator-chain-util'; // chain and schema

Examples

Test Object

const testObj = {
  name: 'test',
  age: 18,
  email: '12345@gmail.com',
  files: [
    {
      name: 'test1',
      size: 100,
    },
    {
      name: 'test2',
      size: 200,
    },
  ],
}

Use Chain Function

const emailCheck = valid("email").isEmail().run(testObj)
// {pass: true, msg: '',data:[]}

const nameCheck = valid("name")
  .notEmpty()
  .isLength({ min: 5 })
  .withMessage("name is too short")
  .run(testObj)
// {
//   pass: false,
//   msg: 'name is too short',
//   data: [ { pass: false, fun: '_isLength', msg: 'name is too short' } ]
// }

console.log(valid("age").isInt().run(testObj))
// {pass: true, msg: '',data:[]}

/* Optional field check */
console.log(valid("phone")
  .optional() // If the field is not present, skip the check
  .isMobilePhone("en-US")
  .run(testObj))
// {pass: true, msg: '',data:[]}

/* Check the data in the array */
console.log(
  valid("files.1.name")
  .notEmpty()
  .isLength({ min: 5 })
  .withMessage("name is too short")
  .run(testObj))
// { pass: true, msg: '', data: [] }

/* If you just want to check a data */
console.log(valid().isEmail().run("12345@gmail.com"))
// { pass: true, msg: '', data: [] }

/* use validatorCheck */
validatorCheck(emailCheck) // true
validatorCheck(nameCheck) // false
validatorCheck([emailCheck, nameCheck]) // false

Use Schema

const schema = {
  name: valid().notEmpty().isLength({ min: 5 }),
  age: valid().isInt(),
  email: valid().isEmail(),
  files: valid().isArray()
}

const checkResult = validatorSchemaCheck(schema, testObj)
// [
//   { pass: false, msg: '_isLength', data: [ [Object] ] },
//   { pass: true, msg: '', data: [] },
//   { pass: true, msg: '', data: [] },
//   { pass: true, msg: '', data: [] }
// ]

/* use validatorCheck */
validatorCheck(checkResult) // false

Advanced Usage

Wildcard

valid("files.*.name")
  .notEmpty()
  .isLength({ min: 5 })
  .withMessage("name is too short")
  .run(testObj)
// { pass: true, msg: '', data: [] }

valid("files.*")
  .isObject()
  .run(testObj)
// { pass: true, msg: '', data: [] }

valid("a.*.*").isInt().run({ a: { b: { c: 1 } } })
// { pass: true, msg: '', data: [] }

/* schema */
const schema = {
  files: valid().isArray(),
  "files.*.name": valid().notEmpty().isLength({ min: 5 }),
  "files.*.size": valid().isInt(),
}

validatorSchemaCheck(schema, testObj)
// [
//   { pass: true, msg: '', data: [] },
//   { pass: true, msg: '', data: [] },
//   { pass: true, msg: '', data: [] }
// ]
validatorCheck(validatorSchemaCheck(schema, testObj)) // true

Bail Function

bail() will stop checking if the current check fails

valid("name")
  .isLength({ min: 6 })
  .withMessage("name length must > 6")
  .isLength({ min: 5 })
  .withMessage("name length must > 5")
  .run(testObj)
// {
//   pass: false,
//   msg: 'name length must > 6',
//   data: [ 
//            { pass: false, fun: '_isLength', msg: 'name length must > 6' }
//            { pass: false, fun: '_isLength', msg: 'name length must > 5' }
//         ]
// }

valid("name")
  .isLength({ min: 6 })
  .withMessage("name length must > 6")
  .bail()  // If the current check fails, stop checking
  .isLength({ min: 5 })
  .withMessage("name length must > 5")
  .run(testObj)
// {
//   pass: false,
//   msg: 'name length must > 6',
//   data: [{ pass: false, fun: '_isLength', msg: 'name length must > 6' }]
// }

Optional / Allow Null / notEmpty

optional() and allowNull() are different, optional() will skip the check if the field is not present, allowNull() will skip check the field if the field is present, but the value is null. notEmpty() will check the field is "". | optional() | allowNull() | notEmpty() | input value | | ---------- | ----------- | ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | false | false | false | :x:undefined must value error, stop checking :x:null must value error, stop checking :arrow_forward: "" check next function :arrow_forward:normal value check next function | | true | false | false | :white_check_mark:undefined skip all check :x:null must value error, stop checking :arrow_forward: "" check next function :arrow_forward:normal value check next function | | false | true | false | :x:undefined must value error, stop checking :white_check_mark:null skip all check :arrow_forward: "" check next function :arrow_forward:normal value check next function | | false | false | true | :x:undefined must value error, stop checking :x:null must value error, stop checking :x:"" _notEmpty error, then check next :arrow_forward:normal value check next function | | true | true | false | :white_check_mark:undefined skip all check :white_check_mark:null skip all check :arrow_forward: "" check next function :arrow_forward:normal value check next function | | false | true | true | :x:undefined must value error, stop checking :white_check_mark:null skip all check :x:"" _notEmpty error, then check next :arrow_forward:normal value check next function | | true | false | true | :white_check_mark:undefined skip all check :x:null must value error, stop checking :x:"" _notEmpty error, then check next :arrow_forward:normal value check next function | | true | true | true | :white_check_mark:undefined skip all check :white_check_mark:null skip all check :x:"" _notEmpty error, then check next :arrow_forward:normal value check next function |

valid("email").isEmail().run({})
// {
//   pass: false,
//   msg: 'must value',
//   data: [ { pass: false, fun: '', msg: 'must value' } ]
// }

/* Optional Filed */
// If the field is not present, skip the check
// If the field is null,cannot skip the check
valid("email").optional().isEmail().run({})
// { pass: true, msg: '', data: [] }
valid("email").optional().isEmail().run({email:null})
// {
//   pass: false,
//   msg: 'must value',
//   data: [ { pass: false, fun: '', msg: 'must value' } ]
// }

/* Allow Null */
// If the field is not present, cannot skip the check
// If the field is null, skip the check
valid("email").allowNull().isEmail().run({})
// {

//   msg: 'must value',
//   data: [ { pass: false, fun: '', msg: 'must value' } ]
// }
valid("email").allowNull().isEmail().run({email:null})
// { pass: true, msg: '', data: [] }

/* notEmpty */
// If the field is empty (is ""), the check will fail
valid("email").notEmpty().isEmail().run({email:""})
// {
//   pass: false,
//   msg: '_notEmpty',
//   data: [ { pass: false, fun: '_notEmpty', msg: '_notEmpty' } ]
// }

Custom Validator

valid().customer((value:string,rawValue:any):boolean=>{
  if(value === 'test'){
    return true
  }
  return false
}).run(testObj)

// value is the input value to string
// rawValue is the input value to raw type

Custom Error Message

valid("name")
.isLength({min:5})
.withMessage('name is too short')
.contains('test')
.withMessage('name must contains test')
.run(testObj)
