mongoose-to-joi-translator

Description

Translates Mongoose schema to Joi. You can use Joi schema to do the validation. The idea is to write database models once and validate everywhere.

npm install mongoose-to-joi-translator

Supported validations

• All types
  • required
  • valid (enum validation)
  • default
• Strings
  • min
• Arrays
  • items (element types)
• Numbers
  • min
  • max
• Objects
• Dates
• ObjectIDs
• Booleans
• Custom sync validators as documented here

Deeply nested document validation is supported, i.e. Objects within Objects, Arrays within Objects etc.

Testing

npm test

Usage

// Require the library
const getJoiSchema = require('mongoose-to-joi-translator');
const schema = new Schema({ word: { type: String } });
const ModelName = mongoose.model('ModelName', schema);
// Extract schema
const joiSchema = getJoiSchema(ModelName);
// Use Joi to validate
const { error, value } = Joi.validate({ word: 'hello' }, joiSchema);
