joi-example

A simple validation example for a use-case of joi

The popular HAPI validation plugin is often used for client-facing validation, however it's messages are not user friendly and overriding them is complex or requires the use of third party plugins.

This project aims to provide a simple method to add custom messages to your project using a structured approach.

Usage

• Import server/helpers/joi-messages in your NodeJS application.
• In your model add the validate(data) method
• Call your model's validate method to validate the submitted data against the model's schema.

Reference

• The structure of the type may be found on Joi's language file here

Demo

• To run the demo, run the following command in the project's root directory:

    gulp watch
