correct

correct

Simple JavaScript validation module

Install

npm install correct

Usage

var correct = require('correct')
var fn = correct.string.min(1).max(12)

fn('abc') === true
fn('') === false

At any time, if you want to understand why you have a failing validation, you can use

var fn = correct.string.min(1).max(12)

fn.validate('')
// will return an object with {valid: false, errors: [...]} and the array of validations that did not pass

fn.validate('abc') //will return {valid: true}

Types

For now there are only 3 base validation types available

• string - correct.string
• number - correct.number
• int - correct.int

Example:

var isInt = correct.int

isInt('5') == false
isInt(5.1) == false
isInt(5) == true

You can chain validation functions for all types (detailed below).

var intMax10 = correct.int.max(10)

intMax10(4) == true
intMax10(40) == false

NOTE: types are specified with simple dot access, while all other chained validations should be chained as function calls:

var validate = correct.string.max(10).not('hello word').required()

validate('my string') == true

string

var stringMin5 = correct.string.min(5)

stringMin5('abc') == false
stringMin5('abcde') == true

Available string tests:

• min(n: Number) - validates the value to have at least n characters in length
• max(n: Number) - validates the value to have at most n characters in length
• re(r: RegExp) - validates the value against the given regular expression
• email() - validates the value to be a valid email address (npm module isemail is used)
• fn(f: Function) - validates the value if the specified function returns truthy
• not(v: String) - validates the value if it is not strict equal to v
• numeric() - validates the value if it is a numeric string: eg - '1.34'
• required() - validates the value if it is different from empty string

Number

Validates numbers.

var between10And100 = correct.number.min(10).max(100)
between10And100(40) == true
between10And100(4) == false

var even = correct.number.fn(function(v){
    return v % 2 == 0
})

even(2) == true

var x = 67
even(x) == false

var isNumber = correct.number

isNumber(4.5) == true
isNumber('4.5') == false

Available number tests:

• min(n: Number) - validates the value if it is >= n
• max(n: Number) - validates the value if it is <= n
• fn(f: Function) - validates the value if the specified function returns truthy
• not(v: String) - validates the value if it is not strict equal to v

Int

Inherits all the number tests, and adds some more

• odd(n: Number) - validates the value if it is odd
• even(n: Number) - validates the value if it is even
