# Express Validate Requests

[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/techjacker/express-validate-requests.png)](http://travis-ci.org/techjacker/express-validate-requests)

## QuickStart

#### The following MIDDLEWARE (app.use(fn)) methods are included:

- sanitizeRequest(req, res, next)

- allowJustXHR(req, res, next)

- allowJustJsonRequests(req, res, next)

- allowXOrigin(req, res, next)

If the validation fails then an next(error) will be called. You should set up an error catcher as your last piece of middleware as a catchall for any errors.

#### The following helper fns are included:

- checkGotAllParams(params:{@Object}, requiredParamsKeys:{@Array})

## Full Example

```JavaScript

var express    	= require('express'),

    app        	= express(),

    valExpress 	= require('express-validate-requests'),

    middle 		= valExpress.middleware,

    helpers		= valExpress.helpers,

	allowedHosts = ["api.domainx.com", "www.domainx.com"],

	allowedOrigins = ["http://domainx.com", "http://www.domainx.com"];

app.configure(function() {

	app.use(middle.allowJustXHR);

	app.use(middle.onlyAllowJsonRequests);

	app.use(middle.sanitizeRequest);

	// middle.setAllowCrossOrigin returns fn(req, res, next)

	app.use(middle.setAllowCrossOrigin(allowedHosts, allowedOrigins));

});

app.get('/someroute', function (req,res,next) {

	var requiredParamsKeys = ["paramOneKey", "paramTwoKey"];

	if (!helpers.checkGotAllParams(req.query, requiredParamsKeys)) {

		next(new Error('invalid params'));

	} else {

		next();

	}

});

//... error catcher at very bottom

app.configure('development', function() {

    app.use(express.errorHandler()); // built-in express error handler

});

// listen once configured everything

http.createServer(app).listen(app.get('port'), function() {

	console.log("Express server listening on port: " + app.get('port'));

});

```
