- # joi
- Object schema description language and validator for JavaScript objects.
- [](https://travis-ci.org/hapijs/joi)
- ## Introduction
- Imagine you run facebook and you want visitors to sign up on the website with real names and not something like `l337_p@nda` in the first name field. How would you define the limitations of what can be inputted and validate it against the set rules?
- This is joi, joi allows you to create *blueprints* or *schemas* for JavaScript objects (an object that stores information) to ensure *validation* of key information.
- # Installation
- ```cli
- npm install --save @hapi/joi
- ```
- ## API
- See the detailed [API Reference](https://github.com/hapijs/joi/blob/v15.1.0/API.md).
- ## Example
- ```javascript
- const Joi = require('@hapi/joi');
- const schema = Joi.object().keys({
- username: Joi.string().alphanum().min(3).max(30).required(),
- password: Joi.string().regex(/^[a-zA-Z0-9]{3,30}$/),
- access_token: [Joi.string(), Joi.number()],
- birthyear: Joi.number().integer().min(1900).max(2013),
- email: Joi.string().email({ minDomainSegments: 2 })
- }).with('username', 'birthyear').without('password', 'access_token');
- // Return result.
- const result = Joi.validate({ username: 'abc', birthyear: 1994 }, schema);
- // result.error === null -> valid
- // You can also pass a callback which will be called synchronously with the validation result.
- Joi.validate({ username: 'abc', birthyear: 1994 }, schema, function (err, value) { }); // err === null -> valid
- ```
- The above schema defines the following constraints:
- * `username`
- * a required string
- * must contain only alphanumeric characters
- * at least 3 characters long but no more than 30
- * must be accompanied by `birthyear`
- * `password`
- * an optional string
- * must satisfy the custom regex
- * cannot appear together with `access_token`
- * `access_token`
- * an optional, unconstrained string or number
- * `birthyear`
- * an integer between 1900 and 2013
- * `email`
- * a valid email address string
- * must have two domain parts e.g. `example.com`
- ## Usage
- Usage is a two steps process. First, a schema is constructed using the provided types and constraints:
- ```javascript
- const schema = {
- a: Joi.string()
- };
- ```
- Note that **joi** schema objects are immutable which means every additional rule added (e.g. `.min(5)`) will return a
- new schema object.
- Second, the value is validated against the defined schema:
- ```javascript
- const {error, value} = Joi.validate({ a: 'a string' }, schema);
- // or
- Joi.validate({ a: 'a string' }, schema, function (error, value) { });
- ```
- If the input is valid, then the `error` will be `null`, otherwise it will be an `Error` object providing more information.
- The schema can be a plain JavaScript object where every key is assigned a **joi** type, or it can be a **joi** type directly:
- ```javascript
- const schema = Joi.string().min(10);
- ```
- If the schema is a **joi** type, the `schema.validate(value, callback)` can be called directly on the type. When passing a non-type schema object,
- the module converts it internally to an object() type equivalent to:
- ```javascript
- const schema = Joi.object().keys({
- a: Joi.string()
- });
- ```
- When validating a schema:
- * Values (or keys in case of objects) are optional by default.
- ```javascript
- Joi.validate(undefined, Joi.string()); // validates fine
- ```
- To disallow this behavior, you can either set the schema as `required()`, or set `presence` to `"required"` when passing `options`:
- ```javascript
- Joi.validate(undefined, Joi.string().required());
- // or
- Joi.validate(undefined, Joi.string(), /* options */ { presence: "required" });
- ```
- * Strings are utf-8 encoded by default.
- * Rules are defined in an additive fashion and evaluated in order, first the inclusive rules, then the exclusive rules.
- ## Browsers
- Joi doesn't directly support browsers, but you could use [joi-browser](https://github.com/jeffbski/joi-browser) for an ES5 build of Joi that works in browsers, or as a source of inspiration for your own builds.
