sourcegr/SRE-Validator

A mass-input validator

SRE-Validator

A fullly tested, 100% covered validator for node --WIP

Installation

npm install --save sourcegr/SRE-Validator#master -- WIP

Usage

Create a validator with:

const fields_to_test = {
    id: 3,
    age: 24,
    name: 'John doe'
}

const the_rules = [
    {id: 'numeric'},
    {age: 'numeric'},
    {age: {
        between: [1, 30]
    }},
    {name: 'required'},
];


const v = Validator.create(fields_to_test, the_rules);
const result = v.validate();

if result is true, congratulations. Otherwise, you should get the error with

v.getErrors();

Rules

The rules should be an array of objects.

The key of each object, should be the name of the input you want to check against.

The value can be a string, an array of strings, or an object. Typically, strings and array of strings are used when there is no need for parameters.

const rules = [
    {id: 'required'},
    {name: ['alphanum', 'required']}
];

Object rules are required when you want to pass parameters

const rules = [
    {lastname: {minLength: 2}}, // name should be at least 2 chars
    {age: { between: [18, 99]}}   // age should be between 19 and 99 
];

Currently, the following rules exist

Generic Rules

• 'required' - Check if the field exists

Number Rules

• isNumber - checks for a number.

WARNING ON NUMBER RULES BELLOW : The lib does no checks whatsoever if the input is a number before running any of the checks bellow. If you want to make a check, please include the isNumber check along with any other checks.

• {between: [min, max, include_limits=true]}
  Between the range defined by min, max. To exclude the min/max values, set include_limits to false

• {notBetween: [min, max, include_limits=true]}
  The opposite of between

• 'positive' / {positive:true}
  Positive number / Positive number but also allow zero

• 'negative' / {negative:true}
  Negative number / Negative number but also allow zero

• 'nonZero'
  Number and not zero.

• {lessThan:number} / {lessThan:[number, true]} /
  Less than number / less than or equal to number

• {moreThan:number} / {moreThan:[number, true]} /
  More than number / more than or equal to number

• {lessThanOrEqual:number}
  Less than or equal to number

• {moreThanOrEqual:number}
  More than or equal to number

• integer - WIP

String Rules

• {minLength: number} / {minLength:[number, true]}
  length should be more / more than or equal to number

• {maxLength: number} / {maxLength:[number, true]}
  length should be less / less than or equal to number

• exactLength - WIP

• startsWith - WIP

• endsWith - WIP

• contains - WIP

• alpha - WIP

• alphanum - WIP

• alphanumdash - WIP

• slug - WIP

• url - WIP

• email - WIP

• regexp - WIP

The rules are added on demand. If you want a specific rule please add it yourself and help this lib grow.
