Converts indicative rules and messages schema to a tree
Indicative parser pre-compiles the Indicative schema to a recursive tree of nodes. Each node is given one of the following types.
object
: Node with one or more nested children.array
: Node with one or more index or wildcard based nested children.literal
: The leaf nodes.Do note, that the literal
type is not equal to literal values in Javascript. For parser, the literal nodes are nodes with no leaf.
If you look at the Indicative schema, it is very concise and developer friendly. However, the same schema needs to be parsed to execute the validation rules.
{
username: 'required',
'account.type': 'required|in:email,social'
}
One way is to loop over the schema object keys, split them by .
and then inline execute the validations for each field. This process is very straight forward, but will have performance issues.
Instead, we parse the schema into a tree. The tree is later converted to an array of top level functions that are highly optimized for performance.
Install the package from npm registry as follows:
npm i indicative-parser
# yarn
yarn add indicative-parser
and then use it as follows:
import { rulesParser } from 'indicative-parser'
rulesParser({
username: 'required',
'account.type': 'required|in:email,social'
})
Above code outputs the following tree.
{
"username": {
"type": "literal",
"rules": [
{
"name": "required",
"args": []
}
]
},
"account": {
"rules": [],
"type": "object",
"children": {
"type": {
"type": "literal",
"rules": [
{
"name": "required",
"args": []
},
{
"name": "in",
"args": [
"email",
"social"
]
}
]
}
}
}
}
