Hi @tranthebao what is the database you use ?

[tranthebao]

yes, i'm using db mysql.

[lauriejim]

What you want is a validation layer in the router ?

Actually you will have to manually add it in your database structure.

@tranthebao You've pointed out a great feature that we have to implement to make the framework better. There is already a feature request about the validation layer on the community vote page.

We're thinking about implementing Joi directly on the router like Hapi does. It works great and it's perfect to validate incoming and outcoming data. What do you think about that?

I was just looking at https://github.com/koajs/joi-router. Looks very good for this.

I'm closing this issue because we'll implement it (see https://portal.productboard.com/strapi/c/14-validations). Feel free to give me more insights or upvote the card.

@nurikabe, apparently it has been tried in the past and it did not work (https://github.com/strapi/koa-router-joi). I'm wondering why?!
