Validation

[PHILLIPS71]

I've been playing around with validation for most of the inputs that are going through mongoose, I'm just wondering if there is going to be at any time some built in validation within the service? That being a lot quicker since some of it would already be generated, or it being simpler to implement.

Can you give me examples of validations you are doing so I can understand better?

For the question, I don't plan to add more customization options to the generator. In fact, I want to make it simpler (see #32 (comment)).

I haven't got too far with it I'm currently using node-mongoose-validator where in your schemas you can add the validation quite easily.

userSchema.path('username').validate(validator.matches('^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{3,15}$'), 'Please provide a valid username');

userSchema.path('email').validate(validator.isEmail(), 'Please provide a valid email address');

The only real task is change over all the http status codes so that they don't throw an internal error where validation is not met and to throw bad requests instead. Or does bodymen do all this for us?
