Introduction

All of web applications need handling input parameters, consists of following steps:

  1. existence check
    • all required parameters exist?
    • fill omittable parameters with default values
  2. type check
    • e.g., typeof age === "number"
    • cast them if needed; "20"(string) to 20(number)
  3. domain check
    • e.g., 1 <= limit && limit <= 100
    • revise them if needed; 0 to 1

value-schema does all of them, by compact and highly readable code!

example

import vs from "value-schema";

const schemaObject = { // schema for input
    id: vs.number({ // number, >=1
        minValue: 1,
    }),
    name: vs.string({ // string, max 16 characters (trims if over)
        maxLength: {
            length: 16,
            trims: true,
        },
    }),
    age: vs.number({ // number, integer (trims if decimal), >=0
        integer: vs.NUMBER.INTEGER.FLOOR_RZ,
        minValue: 0,
    }),
    email: vs.email(), // email

        only: ["active", "inactive"],

        },
    }),
};

// Let's apply!

assert.deepStrictEqual(actual, expected);

That's all! No control flows! Isn't it cool?

For details, see basic usage.

Install

install from npm registry.

npm install -S value-schema

Loading

CommonJS

// foo.js
var vs = require("value-schema");

ES Modules / Babel / TypeScript

// foo.mjs (ES Modules) / foo.js (Babel) / foo.ts (TypeScript)
import vs from "value-schema";

ES Modules has been supported as of Node.js v8.5.0. In Windows, Node.js v8.6.0 is recommended due to ERR_INVALID_PROTOCOL.

To execute "foo.mjs", --experimental-modules flag is required. (the flag is dropped as of Node.js v13.2.0)

$ node --experimental-modules foo.mjs
(node:25508) ExperimentalWarning: The ESM module loader is experimental.

TypeScript auto-completion and type-checking works perfectly on Visual Studio Code and IntelliJ IDEA!

ValueSchemaError

The ValueSchemaError object represents an error.

ambient declaration
export interface ValueSchemaError extends Error
{
    name: string
    message: string
    cause: string
    value: any
    keyStack: (string | number)[]
}
properties
name description
name "ValueSchemaError"
message human-readable description of the error, including a string cause
cause cause of error; see CAUSE
value value to apply
keyStack array consists of path to key name(for object) or index(for array) that caused error; for nested object or array

See below example. For detail about schema / value-schema, see basic usage

import vs from "value-schema";
import assert from "assert";

// {foo: Array<{bar: {baz: number}}>}
const schemaObject = {
    foo: vs.array({
        each: vs.object({
            schemaObject: {
                bar: vs.object({
                    schemaObject: {
                        baz: vs.number(),
                    },
                }),
            },
        }),
    }),

    foo: [
        {
            bar: {
                baz: 1,
            },
        },
        {
            bar: {
                baz: 2,
            },
        },
        { // index 2
            bar: {
                baz: "three", // ERROR!
            },
        },
        {
            bar: {
                baz: 4,
            },
        },
    ],
};
assert.throws(
    () => {
        vs.applySchemaObject(schemaObject, input);
    },
    {
        name: "ValueSchemaError",
        cause: vs.CAUSE.TYPE,
        keyStack: ["foo", 2, "bar", "baz"], // route to error key/index: object(key="foo") -> array(index=2) -> object(key="bar") -> object(key="baz")
    });

CAUSE

The cause of error.

For more information, see below examples.

NUMBER.INTEGER

Rounding mode.

For more information, see number.

NUMERIC_STRING.CHECKSUM_ALGORITHM

Checksum algorithms for numeric string.

For more information, see numeric string.

STRING.PATTERN

Regular expressions for string.

For more information, see string.

basic usage

applySchemaObject(schemaObject, input[, onError[, onFinished]])

apply schemaObject to data.

data

An object to be applied schema; e.g., req.query, req.body (in Express)

data will NOT be overwritten.

schemaObject

Schema object.

  • key: property name of data
  • value: schema instance; see below examples
onError(err)

Callback function for each errors. If no errors, this function will not be called.

If this parameter is omitted, applySchemaObject() throws ValueSchemaError on first error and remaining adjusting process will be cancelled.

  • err
    • an instance of ValueSchemaError
    • err.keyStack indicates path to key name that caused error: (string | number)[]
  • returns
    • an adjuted value
  • throws
    • an exception that will thrown from applySchemaObject()
    • remaining processes will be cancelled
onFinished()

Called after finished all error handlings. Will NOT called if no errors.

error handling 4

when input value is not an object

NOTE: schemaObject won't be checked because it's predictable; generated by programmer, not an external input

import vs from "value-schema";

const schemaObject = {};
const input = 123;

assert.throws(() => {
    // `input` must be an object
    vs.applySchemaObject(schemaObject, input);
}, {
    name: "ValueSchemaError",
    cause: vs.CAUSE.TYPE,
    value: 123,
    keyStack: [],
});

applyTo(value[, onError])

Applies schema to value.

If an error occurs, this method calls onError (if specified) or throw ValueSchemaError (otherwise).

// should be OK
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.array().applyTo([1, "a"]),
    [1, "a"]);

// should cause error
assert.throws(
    () => vs.array().applyTo("abc"),
    {name: "ValueSchemaError", cause: vs.CAUSE.TYPE});
assert.throws(
    () => vs.array().applyTo(0),
    {name: "ValueSchemaError", cause: vs.CAUSE.TYPE});

options

ifUndefined

Specifies return value when input value is undefined.

// should be adjusted
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.array({ifUndefined: [1, "a"]}).applyTo(undefined),
    [1, "a"]);

// should cause error
assert.throws(
    () => vs.array().applyTo(undefined),
    {name: "ValueSchemaError", cause: vs.CAUSE.UNDEFINED});
ifNull

Specifies return value when input value is null.

// should be adjusted
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.array({ifNull: [1, "a"]}).applyTo(null),
    [1, "a"]);

// should cause error
assert.throws(
    () => vs.array().applyTo(null),
    {name: "ValueSchemaError", cause: vs.CAUSE.NULL});
ifEmptyString

Specifies return value when input value is "".

// should be adjusted
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.array({ifEmptyString: [1, "a"]}).applyTo(""),

// should cause error
assert.throws(
    () => vs.array().applyTo(""),
    {name: "ValueSchemaError", cause: vs.CAUSE.EMPTY_STRING});
separatedBy

Assumes an input value is string and separated by delimiter.

If an input type is array, this option will be ignored.

// should be OK
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.array({separatedBy: ","}).applyTo([1, 2, 3]),
    [1, 2, 3]);

// should be adjusted
assert.deepStrictEqual(

    ["1", "2", "3"]);

// should cause error
assert.throws(
    () => vs.array().applyTo("1,2,3"),
    {name: "ValueSchemaError", cause: vs.CAUSE.TYPE});
toArray

Converts an input value to array if not. defaults: false

// should be OK

    vs.array({toArray: true}).applyTo([0]),
    [0]);

// should be adjusted
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.array({toArray: true}).applyTo(0),

// should cause error
assert.throws(
    () => vs.array().applyTo(0),
    {name: "ValueSchemaError", cause: vs.CAUSE.TYPE});
minLength

Limits minimum length of input array.

// should be OK
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.array({minLength: 2}).applyTo([1, 2]),
    [1, 2]);

// should cause errors
assert.throws(
    () => vs.array({minLength: 2}).applyTo([1]),
    {name: "ValueSchemaError", cause: vs.CAUSE.MIN_LENGTH});
maxLength

Limits maximum length of an input array.

// should be OK
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.array({maxLength: {length: 2, trims: false}}).applyTo([1, 2]),
    [1, 2]);

// should be adjusted
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.array({maxLength: {length: 2, trims: true}}).applyTo([1, 2, 3]),
    [1, 2]);

// should cause error
assert.throws(
    () => vs.array({maxLength: {length: 2, trims: false}}).applyTo([1, 2, 3]),
    {name: "ValueSchemaError", cause: vs.CAUSE.MAX_LENGTH});
assert.throws(
    () => vs.array({maxLength: 2}).applyTo([1, 2, 3]), // shorthand of {length: 1, trims: false}
    {name: "ValueSchemaError", cause: vs.CAUSE.MAX_LENGTH});
each

// should be adjusted
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.array({each: {schema: vs.number(), ignoresErrors: true}}).applyTo([true, "abc", 2]),
    [1, 2]);

// should cause error
assert.throws(

    {name: "ValueSchemaError", cause: vs.CAUSE.TYPE});
assert.throws(
    () => vs.array({each: vs.number()}).applyTo([true, "abc", 2]), // shorthand of {schema: vs.number(), ignoresErrors: false}
    {name: "ValueSchemaError", cause: vs.CAUSE.TYPE});
