Validator-Extended

validator.js###

• Based on validator.js
• Current version based on: 4.2.1

var validator = require('validatorExtended');

node-validator-extended###

The main purpose of this repo is to add redundancy functions that won't be added in the validator.js repository. These functions could be useful for some people.

Validators####

The following functions have been added to the original Validator:

• notNull(str): boolean - Check if string is not null.
• notEmpty(str): boolean - Check if string is not empty.
• isEmpty(str): boolean - Check if string is empty.

Tests

We now use mocha to perform tests.

npm install mocha -g

To run the test, just use mocha, assuming you're on the directory: mocha

C:\wamp\www\Ayolan\Validator-extended>mocha
    ValidatorExtended
        #notNull() 
          V should return true when a value is present
          V should return false when there is no value
        #notEmpty() 
          V should return true when a value is present
          V should return false when there is no value
        #isEmpty() 
          V should return true when a value is present
          V should return false when there is no value
 

The library isn't up-to-date?

The official validator library updates itself quite often, so I am most of the time out-of-date. In order to provide the most recent version I have decided to write in the package.json the following dependency: "validator": "latest". So you can just do npm update validator-extended and it will install the latest validator version in node_modules/validator.

But it won't work for the browser version, which requires a manual update from me and a new publish on npm. In this case just create an issue to ask for the latest version! I'll do it ASAP.

Licence####

You can obviously fork and add other functions. Please just check if they should not belong to the validator.js repository before! :)
