express-openapi-validation NPM version Downloads Build Status Coveralls Status

Express middleware for openapi parameter validation.

If validation errors occur, next is called with {status: 400, errors: [<validation errors>]}.

Highlights

  • Performant.
  • Extensively tested.
  • Small footprint.
  • Does not validate parameter input. Converts parameter input to jsonschema using openapi-jsonschema-parameters.
  • Leverages jsonschema.
  • Currently supports openapi 2.0 (a.k.a. swagger 2.0) parameter lists.
  • Supports $ref in body schemas i.e. #/definitions/SomeType.
  • Does not supply default values (use express-openapi-defaults).
  • Does not handle type coercion (use express-openapi-coercion).

Example

See ./test/data-driven/*.js for more examples.

var app = require('express')();
var validate = require('express-openapi-validation')({
  parameters: [
    {
      in: 'query',
      type: 'string',
      name: 'foo',
      required: true
    }
  ],
  schemas: null, // an optional array or object of jsonschemas used to dereference $ref
  version: 'swagger-2.0', // default optional value for future versions of openapi
  errorTransformer: null, // an optional transformer function to format errors
  customFormats: {
    // support `"format": "foo"` for types.
    foo: function(input) {
      return input === 'foo';
    }
  }
});
 
app.get('/something', validate, function(req, res) {
  res.status(200).json('woohoo');
});
 
// GET /something => 400
// GET /something?foo=asdf => 200

API

validate(args)

args.parameters

An array of openapi parameters.

args.schemas

If given as an array, each schema must have an id property. See ./test/data-driven/ for tests with schemas. Ids may be schema local (i.e. #/definitions/SomeType), or URL based (i.e. /SomeType). When supplied, $ref usage will map exactly to the Id e.g. if id is /SomeType, $ref must be /SomeType.

If given as an object, it will be assigned to bodySchema.definitions. Schemas may then be dereferenced in parameters by using #/definitions/<key in args.schemas object>.

args.version

An optional string that currently does nothing. This will ensure nothing breaks for new versions of openapi drafts that get added in the future.

args.errorTransformer

A function that transforms errors.

This function is passed 2 arguments.

  errorTransformer: function(openapiError, jsonschemaError) {
    return {
      message: openapiError.message
    };
  }

See the error format in jsonschema for jsonschemaError. openapiErrors have the following properties:

  • errorCode - A jsonschema error suffixed with .openapi.validation.
  • location - One of body, headers, path, or query. Signifies where validation failed.
  • message - A detailed message as to why validation failed.
  • path - The property of the location that failed validation.

args.customFormats

An object of formatters to use for the format keyword.

See Custom Formats in jsonschema.
