@types/yup

What is @types/yup?

@types/yup provides TypeScript type definitions for the Yup library, which is a JavaScript schema builder for value parsing and validation.

What are @types/yup's main functionalities?

Schema Validation

This feature allows you to define a schema and validate an object against it. The schema can include various types and validation rules.

const yup = require('yup');

const schema = yup.object().shape({
  name: yup.string().required(),
  age: yup.number().required().positive().integer(),
});

schema.isValid({
  name: 'John Doe',
  age: 30
}).then(function(valid) {
  console.log(valid); // true
});

Asynchronous Validation

Yup supports asynchronous validation, which is useful for validating data that requires asynchronous operations, such as checking if an email is already in use.

const yup = require('yup');

const schema = yup.object().shape({
  email: yup.string().email().required(),
});

schema.validate({
  email: 'not-an-email'
}).catch(function(err) {
  console.log(err.errors); // ['email must be a valid email']
});

Custom Validation

You can define custom validation rules using the `test` method. This allows for more complex validation logic that is not covered by the built-in methods.

const yup = require('yup');

const schema = yup.object().shape({
  password: yup.string().required().min(8).test('is-strong', 'Password is not strong enough', value => {
    return /[A-Z]/.test(value) && /[0-9]/.test(value);
  })
});

schema.validate({
  password: 'weakpass'
}).catch(function(err) {
  console.log(err.errors); // ['Password is not strong enough']
});

Other packages similar to @types/yup

joi

Joi is a powerful schema description language and data validator for JavaScript. It is similar to Yup in that it allows you to define schemas and validate data against them. However, Joi is often considered more feature-rich and is commonly used in Node.js applications.

ajv

Ajv is a JSON schema validator that is highly performant and supports JSON Schema standards. Unlike Yup, which is more focused on JavaScript object validation, Ajv is designed for validating JSON data and is often used in APIs and configuration validation.

superstruct

Superstruct is a library for validating data structures in JavaScript. It is similar to Yup but offers a more functional approach to schema definition and validation. Superstruct is lightweight and can be a good alternative for projects that prefer functional programming paradigms.
