Fleek Validator

Middleware and utilities for validating data against swagger schema's.

Requirements:

• Node >= 6.0.0
• fleek-context

Usage

This package is to be used as middleware for Koa2 to validate swagger documentation using ctx.fleek.context defined by fleek-context or an equivalent custom middleware. Results of the validation are mapped to ctx.fleek.validation, including passed, failed, and errors.

npm install --save fleek-validator

Examples

For a swagger example, refer to the test swagger json

const Koa = require('koa');
const fleekCtx = require('fleek-context');
const fleekValidator = require('fleek-validator');
 
const SWAGGER = require('./swagger.json');
 
let app = new Koa();
 
app.use(fleekCtx(SWAGGER));
 
app.use(fleekValidator()); // Reject promise for validation failure
 
// OR
 
app.use(fleekValidator().catch((ctx, next) => {
  console.log(ctx.fleek.validation); // =>{
  //   passed: [Boolean],
  //   failed: [Boolean],
  //   errors: [Array({ - github.com/fleekjs/fleek-validator/blob/lib/error/index.js
  //    name: [String] - github.com/fleekjs/fleek-validator/blob/lib/error/codes.json
  //    code: [Integer] - github.com/fleekjs/fleek-validator/blob/lib/error/codes.json,
  //    message: [String] - github.com/fleekjs/fleek-validator/blob/lib/error/codes.json,
  //    parameter : { [rejected param definition from swagger doc] }
  //  })]
  // }
  return next();
}));
 
app.listen(3000);

Middleware

• Accepts
  • Object - options
    • throw: Boolean - if false, do not reject the middleware promise on validation failure
    • catch: Function - must act as Koa2 middleware. this will be call if validation fails, with next referring to the next middleware in the chain. prioritized over throw
• Returns
  • Function - returns a promise when called
    • Accepts
      • Object - context of the request. must have ctx.fleek.context to perform validation
      • Function - returns promise when called
• Binds
  • ctx.fleek.validation

{
  passed: [Boolean],
  failed: [Boolean],
  errors: [Array({ - github.com/fleekjs/fleek-validator/blob/lib/error/index.js
   name: [String] - github.com/fleekjs/fleek-validator/blob/lib/error/codes.json
   code: [Integer] - github.com/fleekjs/fleek-validator/blob/lib/error/codes.json,
   message: [String] - github.com/fleekjs/fleek-validator/blob/lib/error/codes.json,
   parameter : { [rejected param definition from swagger doc] }
 })]
}

Example

app.use(validator()); // reject middleware promise on failure
 
app.use(validator({ throw: false })); // continue down middleware on failure
 
app.use(validator({ catch: (ctx, next) => { return next(); } })); // continue down middleware on failure
app.use(validator().catch((ctx, next) => { return next(); })); // continue down middleware on failure

Ctx

• Accepts
  • Object - context of a request definted by Koa2, and containing ctx.fleek.context to define the validations
  • Object - swagger definition to validate, matches ctx.fleek.context set by fleek-context
  • Boolean - if true, the ctx will be cloned and returned. defaults to false, and updates in place
• Returns
  • Object - updated context

Example

ctx.request.body = { name: 'foo' };
 
validator.ctx(ctx);
validator.ctx(ctx, {
  parameters: [{
    name: "user",
    in: "body",
    schema: {
      type: "object",
      required: ["name"],
      properties: {
        name: { type: "string", uppercase: true }
      }
    }
  }]
});
 
let newCtx = validator.ctx(ctx, null, true);
 
console.log(newCtx); // => {
//   passed: false,
//   failed: true,
//   errors: [{
//     name: 'VALUE.UPPERCASE'
//     code: 207,
//     message: 'Must be uppercase',
//     parameter : { name: 'user.name' type: 'string', uppercase: true }
//   }]
// }
// }

Object

• Accepts
  • Mixed - value to be validated
  • Object - swagger object definition
• Returns
  • Either
    • Mixed - normalized result of the validations
    • Error - error containing .errors list of validation errors

Example

let result = validator.object({ name: 'FOO' }, { name: { type: 'string', uppercase: true } });
console.log(result); // => { name: 'FOO' }
let result = validator.object({ name: 'foo' }, { name: { type: 'string', toUpperCase: true } });
console.log(result); // => { name: 'FOO' }
let result = validator.object({ name: 'foo' }, { name: { type: 'string', uppercase: true } });
console.log(result); // => {
//   message 'Validation failed',
//   errors: [{
//     name: 'VALUE.UPPERCASE'
//     code: 207,
//     message: 'Must be uppercase',
//     parameter : { type: 'string', uppercase: true }
//   }]
// }

One

let result = validator.one('foo', { type: 'string', toUpperCase: true });
console.log(result); // => 'FOO'
let result = validator.one('foo', { type: 'string', uppercase: true });
console.log(result); // => {
//   name: 'VALUE.UPPERCASE'
//   code: 207,
