api

const validateSchema = require('express-validate-schema')

validateSchema([options])

options plain js object

• validationOptions an optional object, see options for joi.validate on joi repo
• processHttpCallOnError false by default means you should use an error-handling middleware, in case you don't use it you should set this to true and when gets an error/exception on the validation express-validate-schema will process the http call immediate

each validation should be define before your route function (see examples) either the response validation

route.get('/', validateSchema().query(query_schema), your_route_function)

validating query string

validateSchema([options]).query(some joi schema)

validating params

validateSchema([options]).params(some joi schema)

validating body

validateSchema([options]).body(some joi schema)

validating headers

validateSchema([options]).headers(some joi schema)

validating response

validateSchema([options]).response(some joi schema)

example

const express = require('express')
const validateSchema = require('express-validate-schema')

const app = express()

const router = express.Router()

// validating the querystring
router.get(
  '/querystring',
  validateSchema().query(someSchema),
  (req, res) => { res.send(someBody) }
)

// validating the params
router.get(
  '/params/:id',
  validateSchema().params(someSchema),
  (req, res) => { res.send(someBody) }
)

// validating the body
router.post(
  '/body',
  validateSchema().body(someSchema),
  (req, res) => { res.send(someBody) }
)

// validating the headers
router.get(
  '/headers',
  validateSchema().headers(headersSchema),
  (req, res) => { res.send(someBody) }
)

// validating params, body and header
router.put(
  '/someresouce/:id',
  validateSchema().params(someSchema),
  validateSchema()
    .body(Joi.object().keys({name: Joi.string().required()})),
  validateSchema({ validationOptions: { allowUnknown: true } })
    .headers(Joi.object().keys({hello: Joi.string().required()})),
  (req, res) => { res.send('yay!') }
)
