How to remove slash '\' character out of error messages

[cuongsimplypost]

Hi all,

I'm using joi to validate my apis request. All things is good except the error message return the field name with slash '' character.

{
  "message": "validation error",
  "error": {
    "status": 400,
    "statusText": "Bad Request",
    "errors": [
      {
        "field": "email",
        "location": "body",
        "messages": [
          "\"email\" must be a valid email"
        ],
        "types": [
          "string.email"
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Do we have any option to remove it ?
Thanks,

\" are necessary to escape " double quotes in the JSON body.

What you ask is change the error message from "email" must be valid to email must be valid ?

Hi @colthreepv : I think "email must be a valid email" is better.

The message is directly from joi, in this library there are no strings involved, It will simply forward joi error to expressjs.

You can still edit all the Joi configuration options, before creating a validation object for express-validation
