Middleware

Validation

Code

Validates the data within the body of a request.

Arguments: data: Object, any: Boolean

Data is the data that should be included in the body, any indicates that only one or more of the items is required.

Usage

The example below is for the data agument, it indicates that the body must have a username and password and they must both be strings.

{
    "username": {
        type: "string"
    },
    "password": {
        type: "string"
    }
}

The example below is the middleware in use, the any argument is set to false meaning both items are required.

const express = require("express")
const router = express.Router()
const validation = require("/middleware/validation")

router.use(
    validation({
        "username": {
            type: "string"
        },
        "password": {
            type: "string"
        }
    }, false)
)
