Introducing Enhanced Alert Actions and Triage Functionality
Socket now supports four distinct alert actions instead of the previous two, and alert triaging allows users to override the actions taken for all individual alerts.

Advanced tools
Package description
The ajv npm package is a fast JSON Schema validator that allows you to validate JSON data against a JSON schema. It supports the latest JSON Schema draft-07 and has several extensions. It can be used for data validation, data sanitization, and to ensure that JSON documents comply with a predefined schema.
Validate data against a JSON Schema
This feature allows you to compile a JSON Schema and use it to validate JSON data. If the data does not conform to the schema, the errors can be logged or handled as needed.
{"const Ajv = require('ajv');
const ajv = new Ajv();
const schema = {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"foo": {"type": "integer"},
"bar": {"type": "string"}
},
"required": ["foo"]
};
const validate = ajv.compile(schema);
const valid = validate({foo: 1, bar: 'abc'});
if (!valid) console.log(validate.errors);"}
Add custom keywords
Ajv allows you to define custom keywords for a JSON Schema, which can be used to create custom validation rules that are not defined in the JSON Schema specification.
{"const Ajv = require('ajv');
const ajv = new Ajv();
ajv.addKeyword('even', {
validate: function(schema, data) {
return data % 2 === 0;
}
});
const schema = {"even": true};
const validate = ajv.compile(schema);
const valid = validate(2); // true
const invalid = validate(3); // false"}
Asynchronous validation
Ajv supports asynchronous schema compilation, which is useful when your JSON Schema depends on other schemas that need to be fetched remotely.
{"const Ajv = require('ajv');
const ajv = new Ajv({loadSchema: loadExternalSchema});
// Assume loadExternalSchema is a function that loads a schema asynchronously
ajv.compileAsync(schema).then(function(validate) {
const valid = validate(data);
if (!valid) console.log(validate.errors);
}).catch(function(err) {
console.error('Failed to compile schema:', err);
});"}
Joi is a powerful schema description language and data validator for JavaScript. Unlike ajv, which focuses on JSON Schema, Joi allows you to create validation schemas using a fluent API. It is often used for validating data in REST APIs.
Tiny Validator (tv4) is a small and fast JSON Schema (v4) validator. It is less feature-rich compared to ajv and does not support the latest JSON Schema specifications, but it is suitable for simple validation tasks.
The jsonschema package is another validator for JSON Schema that supports draft-04/06/07. It is not as fast as ajv but provides a straightforward API for validating JSON data against schemas.
Readme
npm install ajv
var ajv = require('ajv')(options);
var validate = ajv.compile(schema);
var valid = validate(data);
if (!valid) console.log(validate.errors);
or
// ...
var valid = ajv.validate(schema, data);
// ...
ajv compiles schemas to functions and caches them in both cases (using stringified schema as a key - using json-stable-stringify), so that the next time the same schema is used (not necessarily the same object instance) it won't be compiled again.
