Validis

A comprehensive validation library for JavaScript with a user-friendly, chainable API.

Installation

npm install validis

Usage

Validis provides two APIs for validation:

1. Schema-based API - chainable API for complex validations
2. Legacy Function API - Simple function-based validations
3. Validation Schema Classes - Class-based implementations of validation modules

Schema-based API

const { Schema } = require('validis');

// String validation
const stringSchema = Schema.string().min(3).max(10).email();
const result = stringSchema.parse('test@example.com');

// Number validation
const numberSchema = Schema.number().min(5).max(100).positive();
const numResult = numberSchema.parse(42);

// Boolean validation
const boolSchema = Schema.boolean();
const boolResult = boolSchema.parse(true);

// Object validation
const userSchema = Schema.object({
  username: Schema.string().min(3).max(20),
  email: Schema.string().email(),
  age: Schema.number().min(18).optional()
});
const userResult = userSchema.parse({
  username: 'johndoe',
  email: 'john@example.com',
  age: 25
});

// Array validation
const arraySchema = Schema.array(Schema.string()).min(1).max(5);
const arrayResult = arraySchema.parse(['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']);

Validation Schema Classes

Validis now provides class-based implementations of all validation modules with a chainable API. We've introduced shorter, more user-friendly class names while maintaining backward compatibility with the original names:

// Using the new shorter class names
const { 
  BasicSchema,
  NumSchema,
  PassSchema,
  TextSchema,
  SpaceSchema,
  OtpSchema 
} = require('validis');

// Basic validations
const basicValidator = new BasicSchema();
basicValidator.email().char(50);
const emailResult = basicValidator.validate('example@example.com');

// The original class names are still supported for backward compatibility
// const { 
//   BasicValidationsSchema,  // Same as BasicSchema
//   NumberValidationsSchema, // Same as NumSchema
//   PasswordValidationsSchema, // Same as PassSchema
//   TextCaseValidationsSchema, // Same as TextSchema
//   WhiteSpaceValidationSchema, // Same as SpaceSchema
//   OtpGeneratorSchema  // Same as OtpSchema
// } = require('validis');

// Number validations
const numberValidator = new NumSchema();
numberValidator.num().range(10, 100);
const numberResult = numberValidator.validate(50);

// Password validations
const passwordValidator = new PassSchema();
passwordValidator.minLen(8).pass();
passwordValidator.setCompareValue('Password123!');
passwordValidator.match();
const passwordResult = passwordValidator.validate('Password123!');

// Text case validations
const textCaseValidator = new TextSchema();
textCaseValidator.firstUpper().isUpper();
const textResult = textCaseValidator.validate('HELLO');

// White space validations
const whiteSpaceValidator = new SpaceSchema();
whiteSpaceValidator.edgeSpace().blank();
const whiteSpaceResult = whiteSpaceValidator.validate('Hello World');

// OTP generator
const otpGenerator = new OtpSchema();
otpGenerator.setLength(8).setType('mixed');
const mixedOtp = otpGenerator.generate();
// Or use shorthand methods
const numOtp = otpGenerator.numOtp();
const alphaOtp = otpGenerator.alphaOtp();

Legacy Function API

const validis = require('validis');

// Basic validations
validis.email('test@example.com'); // Returns { valid: true }
validis.phone('1234567890'); // Returns { valid: true }
validis.char('Hello', 10); // Returns { valid: true }

// Password validations
validis.pass('StrongP@ss123'); // Returns { valid: true }
validis.minLen('password', 6); // Returns { valid: true }
validis.match('password', 'password'); // Returns { valid: true }

// Number validations
validis.num(42); // Returns { valid: true }
validis.range(42, 1, 100); // Returns { valid: true }

// Text case validations
validis.firstUpper('Hello'); // Returns { valid: true }
validis.isLower('hello'); // Returns { valid: true }
validis.isUpper('HELLO'); // Returns { valid: true }

// White space validations
validis.edgeSpace('Hello'); // Returns { valid: true }
validis.noSpaces('Hello'); // Returns { valid: false, reason: 'String contains whitespace' }
validis.blank('Hello'); // Returns { valid: true }

// OTP generation
validis.mixOtp(6); // Returns a 6-digit alphanumeric OTP
validis.numOtp(4); // Returns a 4-digit numeric OTP
validis.alphaOtp(8); // Returns an 8-character alphabetic OTP

Return Values

Schema-based API

The parse() method returns an object with the following structure:

// Success case
{
  success: true,
  data: value // The validated value
}

// Error case
{
  success: false,
  errors: [
    {
      code: 'validation.code',
      message: 'Error message'
    },
    // More errors if multiple validations failed
  ]
}

Validation Schema Classes

The validate() method returns an object with the same structure as the Schema-based API:

// Success case
{
  success: true,
  data: value // The validated value
}

// Error case
{
  success: false,
  errors: [
    {
      code: 'validation.code',
      message: 'Error message'
    },
    // More errors if multiple validations failed
  ]
}

Legacy Function API

Each validation function returns an object with the following structure:

// Success case
{
  valid: true
}

// Error case
{
  valid: false,
  reason: 'Error message'
}
