How can we help?

Is there a way to use .allow() specifically to allow an array, e.g.:

Joi.string().allow(['a'])
// should allow any string and ['a']
// throws Uncaught Error: Method no longer accepts array arguments: allow

I can work around this by using alternatives or conditions, but I don't understand why allow does not accept arrays.

If you need to allow different schemas, you can use alternative().

allow is there to compare pure values, the moment you need to compare complex objects, you probably need schemas.
