# Adonis Class Validator
Adonis Class Validator provides a means to validate a request data using a class schema.
On successful validation, the data returned from validation is an instance of the class schema used to validate the request.
## 🎁 Features
- Convenient nesting of class rules.
- Easy declaration of custom messages.
- In-built caching of class schema.
- Validate with existing V5 validator.
- Support for all V5 validator features (`custom messages`, `creating custom rules`, `profiling`, `reporting` etc).## 📦 Installing
Simply run the following commands on your shell
```bash
npm install adonis-class-validator
node ace invoke adonis-class-validator
```## 📌 Example
> We're making use of all the schemas and rules baked into Adonis. 😃
```ts
// SignupPayload.ts
import { validate, schema, rules } from "@ioc:Adonis/ClassValidator";class SignupPayload {
@validate(schema.string({}, [rules.required(), rules.email()]), {
required: "Field {{name}} is required.",
email: "Invalid email address",
})
public email!: string;
}
``````ts
// SignupController.ts
import { SignupPayload } from "App/Validators";
import { HttpContextContract } from "@ioc:Adonis/Core/HttpContext";class SignupController {
public async index({ request }: HttpContextContract) {
const payload = await request.classValidate(SignupPayload);
console.log(payload instanceof SignupPayload); // true
}
}
```> For more examples, check [here](./test/cases/classes.ts)
## Standalone Validator
If you want to make use of the validator class schema to validate any form of data (outside the controller), you can easily rely on the standalone `ClassValidator.validate(...)` helper function.
> NOTE: If the validation fails, an instance of ValidationException is thrown.
```ts
import {
ClassValidator,
ValidationException,
} from "@ioc:Adonis/ClassValidator";async function sendEmail() {
try {
const payload = await ClassValidator.validate(SignupPayload, {
email: "[email protected]",
});
} catch (err) {
// if validation error occurs, `err` is an instance of `ValidationException`
}
}
```## ⚓️ Going Deeper
There are currently 2 decorators supported for validation. They include:
- `@validate()` : To validate primitive schemas such as `string`, `boolean`, `number`, `date`, `enum/enumSet`, `file`, `array([string|boolean|number|date|enum|file])`.
- `@validate.nested()`: To nest class validator schemas through `array` and `object`.### Nested Validation
To nest a class validator schema, simply rely on the `@validate.nested()` decorator. It requires:
- The `class validator schema` of the nested field.
- A `callback` that whose:
- `parameter`: is a adonis member equivalent of the validator schema.
- `return type`: is the adonis schema to use to validate the nested field (which is either an `array` or `object`).
- An `optional` custom message object.> Custom messages also support interpolation e.g. `Field {{name}} is required`.
```ts
import { validate } from "@ioc:Adonis/ClassValidator";class Address {
@validate(schema.number([
rules.unique({ table: "users", column: "email" })
]),
{ unique: 'Field must be unique.' })
public id!: number;
}class User {
@validate.nested(
Address,
(address) => schema
.array([rules.minLength(2)])
.members(schema.object().members(address)),
{ minLength: "Field {{name}} must contain at least 2 addresses." }
)
public addresses!: Address[];
```#### Custom Messages
When `request.classValidate(...)` is called against the `User` schema [above](#nested-validation), the custom message generated and used for the failed validation will be:
```json
{
"addresses.minLength": "Field addresses must contain at least 2 addresses.",
"addresses.*.unique": "Field must be unique."
}
```> As far as the decorated field schema is a `schema.array()` with a `.members(...) of nested validation class`, it infers that it as the deep matching (`.*.`) patter matcher.
### Empty Classes
If no property in a class was decorated with `validate()`, an empty data will be returned (where each field will be undefined).
```ts
// Notice there's no schema rule.
class UserPayload {
public firstname!: string;
}// UserController.ts
export default class UsersController {
public async index({ request }: HttpContextContract) {
const data = await request.classValidate(UserPayload);/**
* Payload wasn't validated because the class doesn't
* have a property decorated with a schema.
*/
console.log(data instanceof SignupPayload); // true/**
* Data is empty because no property has a validator schema decorator.
*/
console.log(payload); // {}
}
}
