Quick Start

import { Sanitize, Validate, Sanitizor, Validator, SanitizationType } from "typescript-validate";

class User {

    @Sanitize([
        SanitizationType.AlphaNumeric
    ])
    @Validate({
        String: {
            MinLength: 1,
            MaxLength: 5
        }
    })
    public Username: string;

    @Validate({
        Number: {
            Min: 5,
            Max: 10
        }
    })
    public age: number;

    @Validate({
        URL: true,
        Pattern: /^.*google.com/
    })
    private website: string;

    @Validate({
        Time: {
            Format: "dd/mm/YY"
        }
    })
    private dob: string;

    @Validate({
        Time: {
            Fromat: "HH:MM:SS",
            Locale: "en" //If textual dates are supplied only english are valid
        }
    })
    private sentAt: string;

    @Validate({
        CreditCard: [ CreditCardType.Mastercard, CreditCardType.Visa ]
    })
    private _creditCard: string;
}

var user = new User();
t.Username = "Hello World"; //invalid
Sanitizor.Sanitize( user );
Validator.Valid( user ); //returns false

##Validators Validators can be used on classes by adding the @Validate decorator to class properties. The class can the be validated using the Validator.Valid function on the instantiated object of that class. The following validators are supported:

• Email
• CreditCard
• Time
• Number
• String
• PostCode
• Pattern
• URL

##Sanitizors Sanitizors are used for sanitizing class properties before operating on them. Add sanitizors using the @Sanitize decorator to class properties and then call the Saniztor.Santize method on an instantiated object of that class. The santizor will then update each of the decorator properties based on the santizor used.
