express-openapi-validation

express-openapi-validation

Express middleware for openapi parameter validation.

If validation errors occur, next is called with {status: 400, errors: [<validation errors>]}.

Highlights

• Performant.
• Extensively tested.
• Small footprint.
• Leverages jsonschema.
• Currently supports openapi 2.0 (a.k.a. swagger 2.0) parameter lists.
• Supports $ref in body schemas i.e. #/definitions/SomeType.
• Does not handle type conversion (use express-openapi-defaults).
• Does not supply default values (use express-openapi-coercion).

Example

See ./test/data-driven/*.js for more examples.

var app = require('express')();
var validate = require('express-openapi-validation')({
  parameters: [
    {
      in: 'query',
      type: 'string',
      name: 'foo',
      required: true
    }
  ],
  schemas: null, // an optional array of jsonschemas used to dereference $ref
  version: 'swagger-2.0', // default optional value for future versions of openapi
  errorTransformer: null // an optional transformer function to format errors
});

app.get('/something', validate, function(req, res) {
  res.status(200).json('woohoo');
});

// GET /something => 400
// GET /something?foo=asdf => 200

API

validate(args)

args.parameters

An array of openapi parameters.

args.schemas

An array of schemas. Each schema must have an id property. See ./test/data-driven/ for tests with schemas. Ids may be schema local (i.e. #/definitions/SomeType), or URL based (i.e. /SomeType). When supplied, $ref usage will map exactly to the Id e.g. if id is /SomeType, $ref must be /SomeType.

args.version

An optional string that currently does nothing. This will ensure nothing breaks for new versions of openapi drafts that get added in the future.

args.errorTransformer

A function that transforms errors.

E.G.

  errorTransformer: function(error) {
    return {
      message: error.message
    };
  }

See the error format in jsonschema.
