legitify

Legitify uses Joi schemas to do its validation. Legitify is a wrapper around joi's validation function. It gives the user the functionality of the promise workflow.

Prereqs

You must have joi installed on your project in order to use this library.

"joi" : ">=6.0.0 <7.0.0"

Getting started

npm install --save legitify

Code

Schema definition

Schema definitions are Joi schemas. You can find more information on that here: joi npm. Here is an example:

// schema/fruit/apple.js
var joi = require('joi');

module.exports = {
  'name': joi.string().required(),
  'description': joi.string()
};

register

  var legit = require('legitify');
  var appleSchema = require('./schema/fruit/apple');

  legit.register('apple', appleSchema);

  legit.validate('apple', objectToValidate)
    .then(function(validatedObject){
      // proceed to use validatedObject
    })
    .error(function(error){
      // determine what to do
    });

registerAll

Schemas index file must export some object with a name and the joi schema object.

// schemas/index.js
module.exports = {
  'apple': require('./fruit/apple'),
  'pizza': required('./vegitable/pizza')
};

Require in the schemas index file to have it register all of the schemas.

legit.registerAll(require('./schemas'));
