# 
ForgJs is a JavaScript lightweight object validator. Go check the Quick start section and start coding with love :heart:
See more live examples [here](https://oussamahamdaoui.github.io/forgjs-examples/)
# Quick start
Install it via npm by running `npm i @cesium133/forgjs`
## Your first validator
```javascript
const { Validator, Rule } = require('@cesium133/forgjs');
const emailRule = new Rule({
type: 'email',
user: user => user === 'dedede',
domain: domain => ['outlook', 'gmail', 'yahoo'].indexOf(domain) !== -1,
}, null);
const passwordRule = new Rule({
type: 'password',
minLength: 8,
uppercase: 1,
numbers: 1,
matchesOneOf: ['@', '_', '-', '.', '!'],
}, null);
const vComplex = new Validator({
age: new Rule({ type: 'int', min: 18, max: 99 }),
dateOfBirth: new Rule({ type: 'date' }),
array: new Rule({ type: 'array', of: new Rule({ type: 'string' }) }),
email: emailRule,
password: passwordRule
});
vComplex.test({
age: 26,
dateOfBirth: new Date(1995, 10, 3),
array: ['1'],
email: 'dedede@yahoo.fr;',
password: 'ad1_A@@Axs',
}); /// returns true
```
## Error handling
You can get custom error messages by doing this:
```javascript
const vComplexe = new Validator({
age: new Rule({
type: 'int', min: 18, max: 99,
}, 'age must be integer and between 18 and 99'),
dateOfBirth: new Rule({ type: 'date' }, 'date must be a date'),
});
vComplexe.getErrors({
age: 16,
dateOfBirth: 123,
}); // ['age must be integer and between 18 and 99', 'date must be a date']
```
## Test over an array
You can test over multiple arrays using this method:
```javascript
const vComplexe = new Validator({
age: new Rule({
type: 'int', min: 18, max: 99,
}),
});
vComplexe.testAll([{
age: 19,
}, {
age: 16,
}]); // returns 1
```
# Rules
A `Rule` object validates a single value, it can be used like this:
```javascript
const { Validator, Rule } = require('@cesium133/forgjs');
const floatRule = new Rule({
type: 'float',
min: 100,
}, null);
floatRule.test(2.001); /// returns true;
```
**The only required value is `type`!**
> You can make a rule by simply passing a string if you only need to check the type : `new Rule('int');`
## int
* min (int)
* max (int)
* equal (int)
## boolean
* toBe (boolean)
## string
* minLength (int)
* maxLength (int)
* equal (string)
* match: (regex)
* notEmpty (bool)
## email
* minLength (int)
* maxLength (int)
* equal (string)
* match: (regex)
* notEmpty (bool)
* user (`function(user)`)
* domain (`function(domain)`)
```javascript
const emailRule = new Rule({
type: 'email',
user: user => user === 'dedede',
domain: domain => ['outlook', 'gmail', 'yahoo'].indexOf(domain) !== -1,
}, null);
emailRule.test('dedede@gmail.fr'); // returns true
```
## password
* minLength (int)
* maxLength (int)
* equal (string)
* match: (regex)
* notEmpty (bool)
* uppercase (int)
* number (int)
* mathesOneOf (Array)
* matchesAllOf (Array)
```javascript
const passwordRule = new Rule({
type: 'password',
minLength: 8,
uppercase: 1,
numbers: 1,
matchesOneOf: ['@', '_', '-', '.', '!'],
}, null);
passwordRule.test('@_-bddcd6A'); // returns true
```
## url
* minLength (int)
* maxLength (int)
* equal (string)
* match: (regex)
* notEmpty (bool)
* protocol (`function(protocol)`)
* domain (`function(domain)`)
```javascript
const urlRule = new Rule({
type: 'url',
protocol: prot => prot === 'https',
domain: domain => domain === 'google.fr',
}, null);
urlRule.test('https://google.fr'); // returns true
```
## date
* after (date)
* before (date)
* between (Array of dates like this [date, date])
* equal (date)
## float
* min (Number)
* max (Number)
* equal (float)
## array
* of (Rule or Validator object)
* notEmpty (bool)
* length (int)
The `of` rule checks every element of the array against the rule.
## function
* result
To explain result, what's better than an example:
```javascript
const { Validator, Rule } = require('@cesium133/forgjs');
function someFunctionThatReturnsAnInt(int) {
return int * 5;
}
const functionTest = new Rule({
type: 'function',
result: {
of: 5,
toBe: new Rule('int'),
},
}, null);
functionTest.test(someFunctionThatReturnsAnInt); /// returns true;
```
## string-int, string-float, string-date, string-boolean
These types 'inherit' from string, they have both the properties, here are some examples:
### string-int
```javascript
const stringInt = new Rule({
type: 'string-int',
minLength: 2,
min: 5,
}, null);
stringInt.test(2) // returns false 2 is not a string
stringInt.test('2a') // returns false '2a' is not a int
stringInt.test('2.1') // returns false '2.1' is not a int
stringInt.test('5') // returns false length of '5' is smaller than 2
stringInt.test('50') // returns true
```
### string-boolean
```javascript
const stringBoolean = new Rule({
type: 'string-boolean',
toBe: true
}, null);
stringBoolean.test(true) // returns false true is not a boolean
stringBoolean.test('false') // returns false 'false' is not true
stringBoolean.test('true') // returns true
```
```javascript
const stringDate = new Rule({
type: 'string-date',
after: new Date(2019, 11, 1),
}, null);
stringDate.test(new Date(2018, 11, 1)) // returns false new Date(2018, 11, 1) is not a string
stringDate.test('some string') // returns false 'some string' is not a valid date
stringDate.test('2018-12-17') // returns false '2018-12-17' is not after new Date(2019, 11, 1)
stringDate.test('2020-01-01') // returns true
```
**Forgjs tries to cast the value to the right type before passing it to the validation function please be careful!**
Here is an example where Javascript behaviour makes the test wrong:
```javascript
const stringDate = new Rule({
type: 'string-date',
equal: new Date(2019, 10, 1), // month in js strart at 0
}, null);
stringDate.test('2019-11-01') // returns false
stringDate.test('2019-11-01T00:00') // returns true
// this is because:
new Date(2019, 10, 1) - new Date('2019-11-01') // equals 3600000 thats exactly 1 hour
new Date(2019, 10, 1) - new Date('2019-11-01T00:00') // equals 0
```
## Multiple types
You can check for multiple types with `OR` or `AND` operators like this:
```javascript
const intRule = new Rule({
type: 'int|float|number',
}, null);
intRule.test(2) // returns true
```
This means the test should verify the `int`, `float` or `number` rule
```javascript
const intRule = new Rule({
type: 'int&number',
}, null);
intRule.test(2.1); // returns false
```
The result doesn't match the `int` rule
## Common properties
Every type has these properties:
* optional
* custom
* oneOf
### optional
If optional is set to `true` the element is optional and an `undefined` value is considered correct.
Example:
```javascript
const { Validator, Rule } = require('@cesium133/forgjs');
const intRule = new Rule({
type: 'int',
optional: true,
}, null);
intRule.test(); // returns true
```
### custom
Custom allows you to write your own rule, an example is better than a long explanation:
```javascript
const { Validator, Rule } = require('@cesium133/forgjs');
function isCorrectAge(age, object) {
if (age === Math.floor((new Date() - object.dateOfBirth) / 1000 / 60 / 60 / 24 / 30 / 12)) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
const vComplexe = new Validator({
age: new Rule({
type: 'int', min: 18, max: 99, custom: isCorrectAge,
}),
dateOfBirth: new Rule({ type: 'date' }),
});
vComplexe.test({
age: 23,
dateOfBirth: new Date(1995, 10, 3),
array: ['1'],
}); // returns true
```
### oneOf
One of checks if the element is in a array
```javascript
const floatRule = new Rule({
type: 'float',
oneOf: [3.5, 100.1, 7.2, 0.1],
}, null);
floatRule.test(100.1); // returns true
```
# Make a new type
Creating a new type is done using the Rule class like this:
```javascript
const { Validator, Rule } = require('@cesium133/forgjs');
Rule.addCustom('customInteger', {
min: (val, min) => val - min > 0,
max: (val, max) => val - max < 0,
equal: (val, equal) => val === equal,
type: val => Number.isInteger(val) && val > 0 && val < 100,
});
const customInteger = new Rule({
type: 'customInteger',
min: 10,
}, null);
customInteger.test(11) // returns true
customInteger.test(200) // returns false
```
