Creates Joi based object schemas from JSON.
- Create Joi schemas from JSON data
- Express simple schemas using a single string
- Works with LOV
- Lightweight with minimal dependencies
- Compatible with most of the Joi API
- Node.js 4.3.2 compatible for use in AWS Lambda environments
Install via npm.
npm install joi-json --save
Note: joi or lov should also be installed
'use strict';
const builder = require( 'joi-json' ).builder();
let jsonSchema = {
firstName: 'string:min=1,max=60,required', // string using string-based notation
lastName: { // string using object notation
'@type': 'string',
min: 1,
max: 60,
required: true
},
address: { // address is an object (i.e. joi.object() )
street: 'string:min=1,max=80,required',
street2: 'string:min=1,max=80',
city: 'string:min=1,max=40,required',
state: 'string:min=1,max=40,required',
postal: 'string:min=1,max=20,required',
'@required': true // needs the '@' to indicate that "required" is a property
},
// alternative values (i.e. joi.alternatives().try() )
favNumberOrWord: [
'string:min=1,max=10',
'number:min=0,max=100'
]
};
let schema = builder.build( jsonSchema );Which would yield the equivalent to the following joi schema:
const joi = require( 'joi' );
let schema = {
firstName: joi.string().min(1).max(60).trim().required(),
lastName: joi.string().min(1).max(60).trim().required(),
address: Object.keys( {
street: joi.string().min(1).max(80).trim().required(),
street2: joi.string().min(1).max(80).trim(),
city: joi.string().min(1).max(40).trim().required(),
state: joi.string().min(1).max(40).trim().required(),
postal: joi.string().min(1).max(20).trim().required()
}).required(),
favNumberOrWord: [
joi.string().min(1).max(10).trim(),
joi.number().min(1).max(100)
]
