enjoi

Converts a JSON schema to a Joi schema for object validation.

Schema Support

enjoi does not support all of json-schema.

Here is a list of some known missing keyword support still being worked on:

• object:patternProperties - unsupported due to Joi limitations.

Please file issues for other unsupported features.

API

• enjoi.schema(schema [, options])
  • schema - a JSON schema or a string type representation (such as 'integer').
  • options - an (optional) object of additional options such as subSchemas and custom types.
• enjoi.defaults(options) - configure defaults options to be used with all enjoi.schema calls. enjoi.schema options passed will always override defaults set here.

Options

• subSchemas - an (optional) object with keys representing schema ids, and values representing schemas.
• types - an (optional) object with keys representing type names and values representing a Joi type. Values can also be functions that are expected to return Joi types. These functions have a context bound to the Joi being used by Enjoi and a single argument, schema, which represents the current schema being evaluated.
• refineType(type, format) - an (optional) function to call to apply to type based on the type and format of the JSON schema.
• extensions - an array of extensions to pass joi.extend.
• strictMode - make schemas strict(value) with a default value of false.

Example:

const Joi = require('joi');
const Enjoi = require('enjoi');

const schema = Enjoi.schema({
    type: 'object',
    properties: {
        firstName: {
            description: 'First name.',
            type: 'string'
        },
        lastName: {
            description: 'Last name.',
            type: 'string'
        },
        age: {
            description: 'Age in years',
            type: 'integer',
            minimum: 1
        }
    },
    'required': ['firstName', 'lastName']
});

Joi.validate({firstName: 'John', lastName: 'Doe', age: 45}, schema, function (error, value) {
    error && console.log(error);
});

Sub Schemas

Sub-schemas can be provided through the subSchemas option for $ref values to lookup against.

Example:

const schema = Enjoi.schema({
    type: 'object',
    properties: {
        a: {
            $ref: '#/b' // # is root schema
        },
        b: {
            type: 'string'
        },
        c: {
            $ref: '#sub/d' // #sub is 'sub' under subSchemas.
        }
    }
}, {
    subSchemas: {
        sub: {
            d: {
                'type': 'string'
            }
        }
    }
});

Defaults

The above example subSchemas can be added instead via defaults:

const enjoi = Enjoi.defaults({
    subSchemas: {
        sub: {
            d: {
                'type': 'string'
            }
        }
    }
});

const schema = enjoi.schema({
    type: 'object',
    properties: {
        a: {
            $ref: '#/b' // # is root schema
        },
        b: {
            type: 'string'
        },
        c: {
            $ref: '#sub/d' // #sub is 'sub' under subSchemas.
        }
    }
});

Custom Types

Custom types can be provided through the types option.

const schema = Enjoi.schema({
    type: 'thing'
}, {
    types: {
        thing: Joi.any()
    }
});

Also with functions.

const schema = Enjoi.schema({
    type: 'thing'
}, {
    types: {
        thing(/* schema */) {
            return this.any();
        }
    }
});

Refine Type

You can use the refine type function to help refine types based on type and format. This will allow transforming a type for lookup against the custom types.

const schema = Enjoi.schema({
    type: 'string',
    format: 'email'
}, {
    types: {
        email: Joi.string().email()
    },
    refineType(type, format) {
        if (type === 'string' && format === 'email') {
            return 'email';
        }
    }
});

This can be used in conjunction with function based type definitions for additional logic:

const schema = Enjoi.schema({
    type: 'string',
    format: 'email',
    'x-test': true
}, {
    types: {
        email(schema) {
            return schema['x-test'] ? : Joi.string().email().allow('[email protected]') : Joi.string().email()
        }
    },
    refineType(type, format) {
        if (type === 'string' && format === 'email') {
            return 'email';
        }
    }
});

Extensions

Example:

const schema = Enjoi.schema({
    type: 'foo'
}, {
    extensions: [
        {
            name: 'string',
            language: {
                foobar: 'needs to be \'foobar\''
            },
            rules: [{
                name: 'foobar',
                validate(params, value, state, options) {
                    return value === 'foobar' || this.createError('string.foobar', null, state, options);
                }
            }]
        }
    ]
});
