Install

Install with npm (requires Node.js >=10):

$ npm install --save map-schema

Usage

var schema = require('map-schema');

Example

This is a basic example schema for normalizing and validating fields on package.json (a full version of this will be available on normalize-pkg when complete):

var fs = require('fs');
var isObject = require('isobject');
var Schema = require('map-schema');

// create a schema
var schema = new Schema()
  .field('name', 'string')
  .field('description', 'string')
  .field('repository', ['object', 'string'], {
    normalize: function(val) {
      return isObject(val) ? val.url : val;
    }
  })
  .field('main', 'string', {
    validate: function(filepath) {
      return fs.existsSync(filepath);
    }
  })
  .field('version', 'string', {
    default: '0.1.0'
  })
  .field('license', 'string', {
    default: 'MIT'
  })

var pkg = require('./package');
// normalize an object
console.log(schema.normalize(pkg));
// validation errors array
console.log(schema.errors);

Errors

Validation errors are exposed on schema.errors. Error reporting is pretty basic right now but I plan to implement something better soon.

API

Params

• options {Object}

Example

var schema = new Schema()
  .field('name', 'string')
  .field('version', 'string')
  .field('license', 'string')
  .field('licenses', 'array', {
    normalize: function(val, key, config) {
       // convert license array to `license` string
       config.license = val[0].type;
       delete config[key];
    }
  })
  .normalize(require('./package'))

Set key on the instance with the given value.

Params

• key {String}
• value {Object}

Push a warning onto the schema.warnings array. Placeholder for better message handling and a reporter (planned).

Params

• method {String}: The name of the method where the warning is recorded.
• prop {String}: The name of the field for which the warning is being created.
• message {String}: The warning message.
• value {String}: The value associated with the warning.
• returns {any}

Params

• name {String}
• type {String|Array}
• options {Object}
• returns {Object}: Returns the instance for chaining.

Example

var semver = require('semver');

schema
  .field('keywords', 'array')
  .field('version', 'string', {
    validate: function(val, key, config, schema) {
      return semver.valid(val) !== null;
    }
  })

Params

• name {Strign}
• prop {String}
• returns {Object|any}: Returns the field instance or the value of prop if specified.

Example

schema.field('bugs', ['object', 'string']);
var field = schema.get('bugs', 'types');
//=> ['object', 'string']

Omit a property from the returned object. This method can be used in normalize functions as a way of removing undesired properties.

Params

• key {String}: The property to remove
• returns {Object}: Returns the instance for chaining.

Update a property on the returned object. This method will trigger validation and normalization of the updated property.

Params

• key {String}: The property to update.
• val {any}: Value of the property to update.
• returns {Object}: Returns the instance for chaining.

Returns true if field name is an optional field.

Params

• name {String}
• returns {Boolean}

Returns true if field name was defined as a required field.

Params

• name {String}
• returns {Boolean}

Checks the config object for missing fields and. If found, a warning message is pushed onto the schema.warnings array, which can be used for reporting.

Params

• config {Object}
• returns {Array}

Params

• config {Object}
• returns {Object}: Returns the config object with keys sorted to match the given array of keys.

Example

schema.sortObject({z: '', a: ''}, ['a', 'z']);
//=> {a: '', z: ''}

When options.sortArrays is not false, sorts all arrays in the given config object using JavaScript's native .localeCompare method.

Params

• config {Object}
• returns {Object}: returns the config object with sorted arrays

Returns true if the given value is valid for field key.

Params

• key {String}
• val {any}
• config {Object}
• returns {Boolean}

Normalize the given config object.

Params

• {String}: key
• {any}: value
• {Object}: config
• returns {Object}

Normalize a field on the schema.

Params

• {String}: key
• {any}: value
• {Object}: config
• returns {Object}

Visit method over the given object or array.

Params

• method {String}
• value {Object|Array}
• returns {Object}: Returns the instance for chaining.

Field

Create a new Field of the given type to validate against, and optional config object.

Params

• type {String|Array}: One more JavaScript native types to use for validation.
• config {Object}

Example

const field = new Field('string', {
  normalize: function(val) {
    // do stuff to `val`
    return val;
  }
});

.isValidType

Returns true if the given type is a valid type.

Params

• type {String}
• returns {Boolean}

.validate

Called in schema.validate, returns true if the given value is valid. This default validate method returns true unless overridden with a custom validate method.

• returns {Boolean}

Example

var field = new Field({
  types: ['string']
});

field.validate('name', {});
//=> false

.normalize

Normalize the field's value.

Example

var field = new Field({
  types: ['string'],
  normalize: function(val, key, config, schema) {
    // do stuff to `val`
    return val;
  }
});
