    validators: {
      values: { isString, isBoolean, isNumber },
      general: { nullable },
    },
  } = require('maccabee');

  const userCreateValidation = validatorFactory({
    check: {
      id: [isString].map(nullable),
      firstName: [isString],
      lastName: [isString],
      age: [isNumber].map(nullable),
      admin: [isBoolean],
    },
  });

  const validUser = {

  };

  const invalidUser = {
    firstName: 'Invalid',
    lastName: 'Invalidface',
    admin: 'false',
    age: 'a literal ferry',
  };

  try {
    const res = await userCreateValidation(validUser, {});
