object-validation

The module is a wrapper for json-schema with convenience methods and improvements:

• Does not trigger target object's getters during validation.

Module Methods

• create( config ): Creates and returns new instance of Object Validation.
• validate( target, schema ): Creates and returns new instance of Object Validation.
• keys( target, schema ): Get keys to affected properties.
• mixin( target ): Adds the prototypal methods of Object Validation to a target object.
• set( key, value ): Set a setting to instance meta. To set default setting use 'defaults' as key.
• get( key ): Get a meta value.

Instance Methods

Instance methods are available if the create() method was used to instantiate a new Object State.

• validate( schema ): Validate against provided schema or default schema.
• keys( schema ): Get array of absolute paths to property keys in current schema.

Basic Usage

The example below will trigger a failure because the tested object does not have the required "name" field.

var validate = require( 'object-validation' ).validate;

var schema = {
  name: {
    required: true
  },
  age: {
    format: "number",
    required: true
  }
}

// Will fail because missing "age"
console.log( validate({
  "name": "John Smith"
}, schema ).is_valid );

// Will validate
console.log( validate({
  "name": "John Smith",
  "age": 30
}, schema ).is_valid );
