koa-validate

validate koa request params and format request params

Installation

$ npm install koa-validate --save

Basic usage:

'use strict';
var koa = require('koa');
var app = koa();
var router = require('koa-router')();
require('koa-validate')(app);

app.use(require('koa-body')({multipart:true , formidable:{keepExtensions:true}}));
app.use(router.routes()).use(router.allowedMethods());
router.post('/signup', function * () {
	//optional() means this param may not in the params.
	this.checkBody('name').optional().len(2, 20,"are you kidding me?");
	this.checkBody('email').isEmail("your enter a bad email.");
	this.checkBody('password').notEmpty().len(3, 20).md5();
	//empty() mean this param can be a empty string.
	this.checkBody('nick').optional().empty().len(3, 20);
	//also we can get the sanitized value 
	var age = this.checkBody('age').toInt().value;
	yield this.checkFile('icon').notEmpty().size(0,300*1024,'file too large').move("/static/icon/" , function*(file,context){
		//resize image
	});
	if (this.errors) {
		this.body = this.errors;
		return;
	}
});
router.get('/users', function * () {
	this.checkQuery('department').empty().in(["sale","finance"], "not support this department!").len(3, 20);	
	this.checkQuery('name').empty().len(2,20,"bad name.").trim().toLow();
	this.checkQuery('age').empty().gt(10,"too young!").lt(30,"to old!").toInt();
	if (this.errors) {
		this.body = this.errors;
		return;
	}
});
router.get('/user/:id', function * () {
	this.checkParams('id').toInt(0);
	if (this.errors) {
		this.body = this.errors;
		return;
	}
});
//json body,we can check it using [json path](https://github.com/flitbit/json-path)(like xpath)
router.post('/json' , function*(){
	this.checkBody('/store/book[0]/price').get(0).eq(8.95);
	this.checkBody('#/store/book[0]/category').first().trim().eq('reference');
	if (this.errors) {
		this.body = this.errors;
		return;
	}
})

app.listen(3000);

API

checkBody,checkQuery,checkParams will return a Validator instance. when use require('koa-validate')(app) ,the request context will bind the method:

• checkBody(fieldName,[transFn]) - check POST body.,transFn see json-path.it will not use json path if transFn is false.
• checkQuery(fieldName,[transFn]) - check GET query.,transFn see json-path.it will not use json path if transFn is false.
• checkParams(fieldName) - check the params in the urls.
• checkFile(fieldName,[deleteOnCheckFailed]) - check the file object, if you use koa-body.this function will return FileValidator object. deleteOnCheckFailed default value is true
• checkHeader(fieldName) - check the params in the request http header.

Validator API

Access validator status:

• decodeURIComponent([tip]) - ref mdn decodeURIComponent
• replace(regexp|substr, newSubStr|function) - the same as String replace
• clone(newKey,[newValue]) - clone current value to the new key, if newValue supplied , use it. eg. this.checkBody('v1').clone('md5').md5(); then your can use this.request.body.md5.
• encodeBase64() - encode current value to base64 string.
• decodeBase64([inBuffer],[tip]) - decode current base64 to a normal string,if inBuffer is true , the value will be a Buffer.
• hash(alg , [encoding]) - hash current value use specified algorithm and encoding(if supplied , default is 'hex'). ref hash
• md5() - md5 current value into hex string.
• sha1() - sha1 current value into hex string.

For json path:

• check(fn,tip,scope) - if fn return false then check failed.fn format function(value,key,requestParams):boolean
• filter(fn,scope) - filter the value if value is array.fn format function(value,index,key,requestParams):boolean
• get(index) - change the value to the specified index value
• first() - get the first value!

FileValidator:

Validators:

• empty() - current file field can to be a empty file.
• notEmpty([tip]) - current file field can not to be a empty file.
• size(min,max,[tip]) - limit the file size.
• contentTypeMatch(reg,[tip]) - check the file's contentType with regular expression.

• fileNameMatch(reg,[tip]) - check the file's name with regular expression.
• suffixIn(arr,[tip]) - check the suffix of file's if in specified arr. arr eg. ['png','jpg']

Sanitizers:

File sanitizers are generators,we should use yield to execute them. eg. yield this.checkFile('file').notEmpty().copy('/');

• move(target,[afterMove]) - move upload file to the target location. target can be a string or function or function*.if target end with '/' or '\',the target will be deemed as directory. target function interface:string function(fileObject,fieldName,context).this function will return a string of the target file. afterMove:it can be a function or function*.interface:function(fileObject,fieldName,context)
• copy(target,[afterCopy]) - move upload file to the target location. target can be a string or function or function*. target function interface:function (fileObject,fieldName,context) . afterCopy:it can be a function or function*.interface:function(fileObject,fieldName,context)
• delete() - delete upload file.

How to extends validate:

var Validator = require('koa-validate').Validator;
// to do what you want to.
//you can use this.key ,this.value,this.params,this.context,this.exists
//use addError(tip) , if you meet error.
