How to use enum values with Joi String validation
You can use valid
.
const schema = Joi.object().keys({
type: Joi.string().valid('ios', 'android'),
});
const myObj = { type: 'none' };
const result = Joi.validate(myObj, schema);
console.log(result);
This gives an error ValidationError: child "type" fails because ["type" must be one of [ios, android]]
Maybe it will be useful for anyone who wants to check values based on existing enum/array of values.
const SomeEnumType = { TypeA: 'A', TypeB: 'B' };
Then just use this:
const schema = Joi.object().keys({
type: Joi.string().valid(...Object.values(SomeEnumType)),
});
const myObj = { type: 'none' };
const result = Joi.validate(myObj, schema);
I am late for this answer. But following will helpful for others, who wants to use enum values with Joi String validation :
function validateBody(bodyPayload) {
const schema = Joi.object({
device_key : Joi.string().required(),
type : Joi.string().valid('ios','android'),
});
return schema.validate(admin);
}
const bodyPayload = {device_key:"abc", type: "web"};
const result = validateBody(bodyPayload);
