Trying to redefine Text which is a string

[easyMaxi]

'appData.Text': 'object', 'appData.Text.size': 'required_if:appData.Text|integer',
is my schema.

Am I wrong at using the module this way? My idea is to check if appData.Text is there and an object. If it's an object I need the size attribute.

Error: Trying to redefine 'Text' which is a string at DotObject._fill (\node_modules\indicative\node_modules\dot-object\index.js:73:15) at DotObject._fill (\node_modules\indicative\node_modules\dot-object\index.js:79:10) at \node_modules\indicative\node_modules\dot-object\index.js:96:12 at Array.forEach (native) at DotObject.object (\node_modules\indicative\node_modules\dot-object\index.js:92:20) at Function.<anonymous> (\node_modules\indicative\node_modules\dot-object\index.js:59:31) at Validator.validate (\node_modules\indicative\lib\validator.js:133:11)

Beside this: Thanks for the module!

EDIT:
Ok, I could ask for appData.Text.size. This implicit appData.Text is a object.
Seams like a legit workaround for my case.

Lemme reproduce this

There are couple of issues here, first there is no object rule shipped with indicative. Next size property does not exists on a object.

You need to write custom validation rule for this, i added an example below

var objectWithLength = function (data, field, message, args) {
  return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {

    var fieldValue = data[field]

    /**
     * skip if value does not exists, required validation
     * can take care of required fields
     */
    if(!fieldValue){
      resolve("skipping as value does not exists")
      return
    }

    /**
     * check if value is an object
     */
    if(typeof(fieldValue) === 'object') {

      if(Object.keys(fieldValue) && Object.keys(fieldValue).length > 0) {
        resolve("Validation passed")
        return
      }

    }

    reject(message)

  })
}

indicative.extend('objectWithLength', 'Field should be a valid object', objectWithLength)

and then use it as snake_case

var rules = {
  'appData.Text': 'object_with_length',
}

Oh, my bad!
I don't know why but i was sure there must be a object rule 💃
Thanks for the example!

But I'm not sure what you mean with size property does not exists on a object.. size is an attribute on my JSON object. (This is just a minimal running example and not my real JSON code, but I see no problem with a size attribute)

Ohh make sense that u have a size attribute. I believe custom rule will make things less complicated
