validator-return

node-validator-return

Catches and returns errors from node-validator instead of just throwing them.

To install node-validator-return, use npm:

$ npm install validator-return

Please refer to node-validator for documentation on how to use the validator functions.

Example

var validator = require('validator-return'),
    check = validator.check,
    sanitize = validator.sanitize;

// Prints true to the console
console.log(check("bacon").isEmail().errors());

// Prints false to the console
console.log(check("[e-mail]").isEmail().errors());

// Prints an array containing 'Invalid Email' to the console
console.log(check("bacon").isEmail().errors(true));

// Prints false to the console
console.log(check("[e-mail]").isEmail().errors(true));

Usage

To use node-validator-return, you need to require it in your file instead of node-validator (as node-validator-return is a wrapper and includes node-validator). From that point, you simply chain .errors() onto the end of your validation method chain.

.errors() accepts an optional boolean parameter to state if you want error messages returned. By default it doesn't return the error messages and only returns a boolean value for if there are errors or not. If you use .errors(true), you will get an array of error messages if there are any, or a boolean value of false if there aren't.
