simple-schema

Simple object validation framework with no dependencies.

Build Status Coverage Status Dependency Status NPM version

Installation

via npm:

$ npm install simple-schema

Usage

Property declarations can specify a property name or a path to a property using dot-notation (nested.object.prop2). If part of the path is an array - validator will treat the rest of the path as elements of objects in that array. E.g., array.prop1 will validate property prop1 on every object in array array. Nested array are supported as well.

Supported property options:

  • required: Boolean If this field is required
  • type: String, Array A lower*cased constructor name, 'null' and 'undefined'. Setting this property to an array of values will look for one of the values. Possible values are:
    • object
    • regexp
    • array
    • function
    • string
    • number
    • date
    • boolean
  • regexp: RegExp Regular expression to run on property value. Array of expressions is supported as well and validation will pass if at least one regular expression passes.
  • regexpAll: RegExp Regular expression to run on property value. Array of expressions is supported as well and validation will pass only if all expressions pass.
  • function: Function, String Function to run with this being the object and property name as first argument. This parameter can also be specified as a string if you want to point to a function in the global scope (defined as global.fn = myFunc)
  • min, max: Number Depending on property type these options can specify:
    • string length
    • numeric range
    • array length
  • error: Object Optional error properties. Validator does not use this property, it's purely for convenience.
    • code: Any Error code
    • message: Any Error message

Running validation returns an array of violated rules, as such:

[
    {
        property: 'prop1',
        value: 'Value of prop1',
        rule: { /* rule as defined in the schema */ }
    }
]

e.g. an empty array means success.

Example

var validate = require('simple-schema')
  , assert = require('assert')

var schema = {
  prop1: {
    required: true,
    type: 'string',
    error: {
      code: 'NOTASTRING',
      message: 'It is not a string'
    }
  },
  'nested.object.prop2': {
    required: false
  }
}

var myObject = {
  prop1: 'str',
  nested: {
    object: {} // missing prop2 here
  }
}

// validationResult will hold an array of violated rules or an empty array
var validationResult = validate(myObject, schema)
assert(validationResult.length === 0) // validation succeeded
