validate-these

Validate user input on your backend or frontend without having to compose tedious error messages.

• Chainable functions to perform multiple checks.
• An ApiError object is thrown with a helpful user message just using your camel-case vars converted to sentence-case.
• Hint: You can parse messages as markdown when displaying to users.

Install

npm i validate-these

Usage

const validate = require("validate-these")
 
const emailAddress = "bad-email"
validate({ emailAddress }).email()
// **Email address** does not look valid.
 
const homePhoneNumber = "not-a-phone-number"
validate({ homePhoneNumber }).phone()
// Value for **Home phone number** does not look valid.
 
const firstName = "field is too long"
validate({ firstName }).notEmpty().max(12)
