Demand module

Form error handling for dietjs

How it works?

  • You can demand request.body[..] values to match criterias like existence, length etc..
  • The module is accessible in every POST request
  • The module can be accessed with the request.demand function
  • The module accepts unlimited agruments, each argument by right goes deeper in request.body
  • If request.passed is true than the form request has passed
  • If request.passed is false then request.errors contains the errors in JSON
  • You can answer if
    • request.passed with response.success(data)
    • else with response.error(data)
    • data is optional

Example

When a POST request comes in (from a form or ajax request) with these parameters:

    {
        'account':{
            username:'adam',
            password:'123456',
        },
        'remain_logged_in': true
    }

You can check if everything is ok with the submitted data with request.check:

var app = new Application(options);
 
app.get('/login', function(request, response, mysql){
    // DEMAND values to be specific
    request.demand('username').length(0,40);
    request.demand('email').length(0,40).isEmail();
    request.demand('password').length(0,40).equals(request.body.password_again);
    request.demand('options', 'remain_logged_in').isBoolean().length(0,1);
    
    // IF request has passed 
    if(request.passed){ 
        response.success(); // { passed: true, errors: false}
        mysql.end();
    } else {
        response.error(); // { passed: true, errors: [{..},{..}]}
        mysql.end();
    }
});
