Introduction

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

existence check
- all required parameters exist?
- fill omittable parameters by default values
type check
- e.g., typeof age === "number"
- cast them if needed; "20"(string) to 20(number)
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";
import assert from "assert";

const schemaObject = { // schema for input
    id: vs.number().minValue(1), // number, >=1
    name: vs.string().maxLength(16, true), // string, max 16 characters (trims if over)
    age: vs.number().integer(true).minValue(0), // number, integer (trims if decimal), >=0
    email: vs.email(), // email
    state: vs.string().only("active", "inactive"), // string, accepts only "active" and "inactive"
    classes: vs.array().separatedBy(",").each(vs.number(), true), // array of number, separated by ",", ignores errors
    skills: vs.array().separatedBy(",").each(vs.string(), true), // array of string, separated by ",", ignores errors
    credit_card: vs.numericString().separatedBy("-").checksum(vs.NUMERIC_STRING.CHECKSUM_ALGORITHM.CREDIT_CARD), // numeric string, separated by "-", checks by Luhn algorithm
    remote_addr: vs.string().pattern(vs.STRING.PATTERN.IPV4), // IPv4
    remote_addr_ipv6: vs.string().pattern(vs.STRING.PATTERN.IPV6), // IPv6
    limit: vs.number().integer().default(10).minValue(1, true).maxValue(100, true), // number, integer, omittable (sets 10 if omitted), >=1 (sets 1 if less), <=100 (sets 100 if greater)
    offset: vs.number().integer().default(0).minValue(0, true), // number, integer, omittable (sets 0 if omitted), >=0 (sets 0 if less)
};
const input = { // input values
    id: "1",
    name: "Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Ciprin Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso",
    age: 20.5,
    email: "picasso@example.com",
    state: "active",
    classes: "1,3,abc,4",
    skills: "c,c++,javascript,python,,swift,kotlin",
    credit_card: "4111-1111-1111-1111",
    remote_addr: "127.0.0.1",
    remote_addr_ipv6: "::1",
    limit: "0",
};
const expected = { // should be fitted to this
    id: 1,
    name: "Pablo Diego José",
    age: 20,
    email: "picasso@example.com",
    state: "active",
    classes: [1, 3, 4],
    skills: ["c", "c++", "javascript", "python", "swift", "kotlin"],
    credit_card: "4111111111111111",
    remote_addr: "127.0.0.1",
    remote_addr_ipv6: "::1",
    limit: 1,
    offset: 0,
};

// Let's fit!
const fitted = vs.fit(input, schemaObject);

// verification
assert.deepStrictEqual(fitted, expected);

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

types and constants

`ValueSchemaError`

The ValueSchemaError object represents an error.

ambient declaration

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 fitting error; see `vs.CAUSE`
`value`	value to fit
`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().schema({
        bar: vs.object().schema({
            baz: vs.number(),
        }),
    })),
};
const input = {
    foo: [
        {
            bar: {
                baz: 1,
            },
        },
        {
            bar: {
                baz: 2,
            },
        },
        { // index 2
            bar: {
                baz: "three", // ERROR!
            },
        },
        {
            bar: {
                baz: 4,
            },
        },
    ],
};
assert.throws(
    () => {
        vs.fit(input, schemaObject);
    },
    (err) => {
        assert.strictEqual(err.name, "ValueSchemaError");
        assert.strictEqual(err.cause, vs.CAUSE.TYPE),
        assert.deepStrictEqual(err.keyStack, ["foo", 2, "bar", "baz"]); // route to error key/index: object(key="foo") -> array(index=2) -> object(key="bar") -> object(key="baz")
        return true;
    });

`vs.CAUSE`

The cause of fitting error.

For more information, see below examples.

`vs.NUMERIC_STRING.CHECKSUM_ALGORITHM`

Checksum algorithms for vs.numericString().checksum().

For more information, see numeric string.

`vs.STRING.PATTERN`

Regular expressions for vs.string().pattern().

For more information, see string.

basic usage

ambient declarations

namespace value-schema {
    export declare function fit<T = any>(data: any, schemaObject: object, onError?: (err: ValueSchemaError | null) => any): T;
}

`vs.fit(data, schemaObject[, onError])`

Fit data to schemaObject.

`data`

An object to fit; e.g., req.query, req.body (in Express)

data will not be overwritten.

`schemaObject`

Schema object.

key: property name of data to fit
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, vs.fit() throws ValueSchemaError on first error and remaining fitting process will be cancelled.

err
- an instance of ValueSchemaError or null
- err.keyStack indicates path to key name that caused error: (string | number)[]
- err will be null after all fitting process has finished and errors has occurred
  - onError() will no longer be called after null passed
returns
- an adjuted value
- undefined means this key will not be included in returned object from vs.fit()
- return value of onError(null) is ignored
throws
- an exception that will thrown from vs.fit()
- remaining fitting processes will be cancelled

In TypeScript, use Generics for type-safe.

interface Parameters {
    foo: number
    bar: string
}

const schemaObject = {
    foo: vs.number(),
    bar: vs.string(),
};
const input = {
    foo: "12345",
    bar: "abcde",
};

const fitted = vs.fit<Parameters>(input, schemaObject);

error handling 1

fix errors

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

const schemaObject = {
    id: vs.number().minValue(1),
    name: vs.string().maxLength(16, true),
    email: vs.email(),
};
const input = {
    id: 0, // error! (>= 1)
    name: "", // error! (empty string is not allowed)
    email: "john@example.com", // OK
};
const expected = {
    id: 100,
    email: "john@example.com",
};

const fitted = vs.fit(input, schemaObject, generateErrorHandler());
assert.deepStrictEqual(fitted, expected);

function generateErrorHandler() {
    return (err) => {
        if (err === null) {
            // fitting finished
            return;
        }

        const key = err.keyStacks.shift(); // ["id"]
        if (key === "id") {
            // change to 100 on `id` error
            return 100;
        }
        // remove otherwise
    };
}

error handling 2

throw exception after finished

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

const schemaObject = {
    id: vs.number().minValue(1),
    name: vs.string().maxLength(16, true),
    email: vs.email(),
};
const input = {
    id: 0, // error! (>= 1)
    name: "", // error! (empty string is not allowed)
    email: "john@example.com", // OK
};

try {
    vs.fit(input, schemaObject, generateErrorHandler());
}
catch (err) {
    // do something
    assert.strictEqual(err.message, "id,name");
}

function generateErrorHandler() {
    const messages = [];
    return (err) => {
        if (err === null) {
            // fitting finished; join key name as message
            throw new Error(messages.join(","));
        }

        // append key name
        const key = err.keyStacks.shift(); // ["id"]
        messages.push(key);
    };
}

error handling 3

catch a first error by omitting error handler

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

const schemaObject = {
    id: vs.number().minValue(1),
    name: vs.string().maxLength(16, true),
    email: vs.email(),
};
const input = {
    id: 0, // error! (>= 1)
    name: "", // error! (empty string is not allowed)
    email: "john@example.com", // OK
};

try {
    const fitted = vs.fit(input, schemaObject);
}
catch (err) {
    // catch a first error
    assert.deepStrictEqual(err.keyStack, ["id"]);
}

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";
import assert from "assert";

const schemaObject = {};
const input = 123;

try {
    // `input` must be an object
    const fitted = vs.fit(input, schemaObject);
}
catch (err) {
    assert.deepStrictEqual(err.keyStack, []);
    assert.strictEqual(err.cause, vs.CAUSE.TYPE);
}

boolean

ambient declarations

namespace vs {
    export declare function boolean(): BooleanSchema;
}

interface BooleanSchema {
    // fitting method
    fit(value: any, onError?: (err: ValueSchemaError) => boolean | void): number;

    // feature methods (chainable)
    strict(): this;
    acceptAllNumbers(): this;
    default(value: boolean): this;
    acceptNull(value?: boolean | null /* = null */): this;
    acceptEmptyString(value?: boolean | null /* = null */): this;
}

`fit(value[, onError])`

Fit value to schema.

If an error occurs, call onError (if specified) or throw ValueSchemaError (otherwise)

examples

// should be OK
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.boolean().fit(true),
    true);
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.boolean().fit(false),
    false);

// should be fitted
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.boolean().fit(1),
    true);
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.boolean().fit(0),
    false);
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.boolean().fit("1"),
    true);
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.boolean().fit("0"), // "0" is truthy in JavaScript, but value-schema treats as false!
    false);
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.boolean().fit("true"), // "true" / "yes" / "on" are true, "false" / "no" / "off" are false!
    true);
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.boolean().fit("TRUE"),
    true);
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.boolean().fit("yes"),
    true);
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.boolean().fit("YES"),
    true);
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.boolean().fit("on"),
    true);
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.boolean().fit("ON"),
    true);
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.boolean().fit("false"),
    false);
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.boolean().fit("FALSE"),
    false);
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.boolean().fit("no"),
    false);
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.boolean().fit("NO"),
    false);
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.boolean().fit("off"),
    false);
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.boolean().fit("OFF"),
    false);

// should cause error
assert.throws(
    () => vs.boolean().fit(-1), // accepts only 0,1
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.TYPE));
assert.throws(
    () => vs.boolean().fit("abc"),
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.TYPE));
assert.throws(
    () => vs.boolean().fit([]),
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.TYPE));
assert.throws(
    () => vs.boolean().fit({}),
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.TYPE));

`strict()`

Enable strict type check.

HANDLE WITH CARE! In URL encoding, all values will be treated as string. Use this method when your system accepts ONLY JSON encoding (application/json)

examples

// should cause error
assert.throws(
    () => vs.boolean().strict().fit(1),
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.TYPE));
assert.throws(
    () => vs.boolean().strict().fit("1"),
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.TYPE));
assert.throws(
    () => vs.boolean().strict().fit("true"),
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.TYPE));

`acceptAllNumbers()`

Accept all numbers, other than 0 / 1.

examples

// should be fitted
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.boolean().acceptAllNumbers().fit(-1),
    true);
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.boolean().acceptAllNumbers().fit("100"),
    true);

`default(value)`

Accept undefined for input, and convert to value.

If this method is not called, fit(undefined) causes ValueSchemaError.

examples

// should be fitted
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.boolean().default(true).fit(undefined),
    true);

// should cause error
assert.throws(
    () => vs.boolean().fit(undefined),
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.REQUIRED));

`acceptNull([value])`

Accept a null for input, and convert to value.

If this method is not called, fit(null) causes ValueSchemaError.

examples

// should be fitted
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.boolean().acceptNull(true).fit(null),
    true);

// should cause error
assert.throws(
    () => vs.boolean().fit(null),
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.NULL));

`acceptEmptyString([value])`

Accept an empty string("") for input, and convert to value.

If this method is not called, fit("") causes ValueSchemaError.

examples

// should be fitted
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.boolean().acceptEmptyString(true).fit(""),
    true);

// should cause error
assert.throws(
    () => vs.boolean().fit(""),
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.EMPTY));

number

ambient declarations

namespace vs {
    export declare function number(): NumberSchema;

    // feature methods (chainable)
    strict(): this;
    default(value: number): this;
    acceptNull(value?: number | null /* = null */): this;
    acceptEmptyString(value?: number | null /* = null */): this;
    acceptSpecialFormats(): this;
    acceptFullWidth(): this;
    integer(fits?: boolean /* = false */): this;
    only(...values: number[]): this;
    minValue(value: number, fits?: boolean /* = false */): this;
    maxValue(value: number, fits?: boolean /* = false */): this;
    convert(converter: (value: number, fail: () => never) => number): this;
}

`fit(value[, onError])`

Fit value to schema.

If an error occurs, call onError (if specified) or throw ValueSchemaError (otherwise)

assert.strictEqual(
    vs.number().fit(-123),
    -123);

// should be fitted
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.number().fit("-123"),
    -123);
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.number().fit(true),
    1);
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.number().fit(false),
    0);

// should cause error

    vs.number().fit(
        "abc",
        (err) => 10),
    10);
assert.throws( // ... or try-catch syntax
    () => vs.number().fit("abc"),
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.TYPE));
assert.throws(

`acceptSpecialFormats()`

Accept all special number formats; e.g., "1e+2", "0x100", "0o100", "0b100".

If this method is not called, the above examples causes ValueSchemaError.

examples

// should be fitted
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.number().acceptSpecialFormats().fit("1e+2"),
    100);
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.number().acceptSpecialFormats().fit("0x100"),

    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.TYPE));

`acceptFullWidth()`

Accept full-width string; e.g., "１２３４．５", "1２3４.５".

If this method is not called, the above examples causes ValueSchemaError.

examples

// should be fitted
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.number().acceptFullWidth().fit("１２３４．５"),
    1234.5);

// should cause error
assert.throws(
    () => vs.number().fit("１２３４．５"),
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.TYPE));

`integer([fits])`

Limit an input value to integer.

If fits is true, value will be converted to an integer.

examples

// should be fitted
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.number().integer(true).fit(3.14),
    3);
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.number().integer(true).fit("3.14"),
    3);
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.number().integer(true).fit(-3.14),
    -3);
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.number().integer(true).fit("-3.14"),
    -3);

// should cause error
assert.throws(
    () => vs.number().integer().fit(3.14),
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.TYPE));
assert.throws(

    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.TYPE));
assert.throws(
    () => vs.number().integer().fit("3."),
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.TYPE));

`only(...values)`

Accept only values.

If input value is not in values, fit() method causes ValueSchemaError.

    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.ONLY));

`minValue(value[, fits])`

Limit minimum value to value.

If input value is less than value, fit() method returns value (if fits is truthy) or causes ValueSchemaError (falsy; default).

examples

// should be OK
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.number().fit(Number.MIN_SAFE_INTEGER),

// should cause errors
assert.throws(
    () => vs.number().fit(Number.MIN_SAFE_INTEGER - 1),
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.MIN_VALUE));
assert.throws(
    () => vs.number().minValue(1).fit(0),
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.MIN_VALUE));

`maxValue(value[, fits])`

Limit maximum value to value.

If input value is greater than value, fit() method returns value (if fits is truthy) or causes ValueSchemaError (falsy; default).

By default, value equals Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER.

examples

// should be OK
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.number().fit(Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER),
    Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER);
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.number().maxValue(1).fit(1),
    1);

// should be fitted
assert.strictEqual(
    vs.number().maxValue(100, true).fit(101),
    100);

// should cause errors
assert.throws(
    () => vs.number().fit(Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER + 1),
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.MAX_VALUE));
assert.throws(

    vs.array().toArray().fit(0),
    [0]);

// should cause error
assert.throws(
    () => vs.array().fit(0),
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.TYPE));

`minLength(length)`

Limit minimum length of input array to length.

examples

// should be OK
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.array().minLength(2).fit([1, 2]),
    [1, 2]);

// should cause errors
assert.throws(
    () => vs.array().minLength(2).fit([1]),
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.MIN_LENGTH));

`maxLength(length[, fits])`

Limit maximum length of an input array to length.

If array length is greater than length, fit() method truncates the length to length (if fits is truthy) or causes ValueSchemaError (falsy; default).

examples

// should be OK
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.array().maxLength(2).fit([1, 2]),
    [1, 2]);

// should be fitted
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.array().maxLength(2, true).fit([1, 2, 3]),
    [1, 2]);

// should cause error
assert.throws(
    () => vs.array().maxLength(2).fit([1, 2, 3]),
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.MAX_LENGTH));

`each(schema, [ignoreEachErrors])`

Apply schema for each elements.

schema
- Any above vs instance, e.g., vs.number(), vs.string()… vs.array()!
ignoreEachErrors
- If true, ignore the errors of each element.
- default is false

examples

// should be fitted
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.array().each(vs.number(), true).fit([true, "abc", 2]),
    [1, 2]);

// should cause error
assert.throws(
    () => vs.array().each(vs.number()).fit([true, "abc", 2]),
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.EACH_TYPE));

object

ambient declarations

namespace vs {
    export declare function object<T = any>(): ObjectSchema;
}

interface ObjectSchema<T> {
    // fitting method
    fit(value: any, onError?: (err: ValueSchemaError) => Object | void): T;

    // feature methods (chainable)
    default(value: Object): this;
    acceptNull(value?: Object | null /* = null */): this;
    acceptEmptyString(value: Object | null /* = null */): this;
    schema(schema): ObjectSchema;
}

`fit(value[, onError])`

Fit value to schema.

examples

// should be OK
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.object().fit({a: 1, b: 2}),
    {a: 1, b: 2});

// should cause error
assert.throws(
    () => vs.object().fit("abc"),
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.TYPE));
assert.throws(
    () => vs.object().fit(0),
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.TYPE));

`default(value)`

Accept undefined for input, and convert to value.

If this method is not called, fit(undefined) causes ValueSchemaError.

examples

// should be fitted
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.object().default({a: 1, b: 2}).fit(undefined),
    {a: 1, b: 2});

// should cause error
assert.throws(
    () => vs.object().fit(undefined),
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.REQUIRED));

`acceptNull([value])`

Accept a null for input, and convert to value.

If this method is not called, fit(null) causes ValueSchemaError.

examples

// should be fitted
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.object().acceptNull({a: 1, b: 2}).fit(null),
    {a: 1, b: 2});

// should cause error
assert.throws(
    () => vs.object().fit(null),
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.NULL));

`acceptEmptyString([value])`

Accept an empty string("") for input, and convert to value.

If this method is not called, fit("") causes ValueSchemaError.

examples

// should be fitted
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.object().acceptEmptyString({a: 1, b: 2}).fit(""),
    {a: 1, b: 2});

// should cause error
assert.throws(
    () => vs.object().fit(""),
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.EMPTY));

`schema(schema)`

Assume an input value is string and separated by separator.

If an input type is array, this method does nothing.

examples

// should be OK
const schema = {a: vs.number(), b: vs.string()};
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.object().schema(schema).fit({a: 1, b: "2"}),
    {a: 1, b: "2"});

// should be fitted
assert.deepStrictEqual(
    vs.object().schema(schema).fit({a: 1, b: 2}),
    {a: 1, b: "2"});

// should cause error
assert.throws(
    () => vs.object().schema(schema).fit({a: "x", b: "2"}),
    (err) => (err.name === "ValueSchemaError" && err.cause === vs.CAUSE.TYPE));
