A validator for HTTP request parameters.

npm Travis branch Codecov branch David deps Known Vulnerabilities npm download

Installation

npm i @killara/validation -S

Features

  • It supports three kinds of rule declarations. String inline rules, object rules and array rules.
  • It supports async validation rule. For example, unique validation for only specific record in database table.
  • It supports custom rules
  • It supports custom error messages, or it uses default messages.

Usage

const Validation = require('@killara/validation');
const validation = new Validation();

const values = {
  username: 'admins',
  password: 'abcdef',
  sex: 'male',
};

const rules = {
  username: 'required|alpha:6',
  password: {
    required: true,
    regexp: /^[a-z]{6,18}$/,
  },
  sex: [ 'male', 'female' ],
};

const messages = {
  'username.alpha': 'The field must be entirely alphabetic characters',
  'sex.in': 'The field should be included in the list of ${ _items_.join(", ") }'
};

const errors = await validation.validate(values, rules, messages);

if (!errors) {
  // all validations passed
} else {
  // we got an array of errors
}
