This release contains a few breaking changes along with a handful of new improvements and bug fixes.

Breaking changes

Infer type

The infer type of schema now marks optional fields as optional within the TypeScript types. This ensures the property can be missing altogether from the data object/inferred types vs being marked as undefined explicitly. For example:

// Schema
vine.object({
    username: vine.string(),
    age: vine.number().optional(),
})

// Old output
{
    age: number | undefined;
    username: string;
}

// New output
{
    age?: number | undefined;
    username: string;
}

SUBTYPE symbol

Custom types extending the VineJS BaseLiteralType now must define the symbols.SUBTYPE property on the schema. This property can be used by schema transformers to get a more accurate type for the schema node. Here's how the StringSchema defines the SUBTYPE property.

For example:

import { symbols, BaseLiteralType } from '@vinejs/vine'

class MySchemaType extends BaseLiteralType<Input, Output, CamelCaseOutput> {
   [symbols.SUBTYPE] = 'multipartFile'
}

Add "tryValidate", "toJSON" method and "in" validation rule

tryValidate

The tryValidate method can be used to perform validation without throwing a validation error. Instead, the errors are returned as the return value of the method, which is a tuple.

const [error, result] = validator.tryValidate({ data: {} })

The try prefix is inspired from the Java world.

in

The in validation rule has been added for the VineNumber schema type and can be used to ensure the value of field is part of the allowed values list.

toJSON

The validator.toJSON method can be used to get the validator and its refs as JSON.

Improved error reporting for fields inside arrays and infer schema input types

This release contains a couple of minor breaking changes. So let's first talk about them.

Improved error reporting for fields inside arrays ( Breaking )

In the previous versions of VineJS, the error reporting for fields inside arrays could have been better.

Given the following schema and data

const schema = vine.object({
  categories: vine.array(vine.number()),
})

const data = {
  categories: [1, 'foo', 'bar', 11],
}

The errors reported up until 2.0 were

{
  field: 'categories.*',
  index: 1,
  message: 'The 1 field must be a number',
  rule: 'number',
},
{
  field: 'categories.*',
  index: 2,
  message: 'The 2 field must be a number',
  rule: 'number',
}

If you notice, the field name inside arrays is defined as categories.* and not the actual index of the item inside the array. Now, you may think that I can replace the * with the index property value and get a nested path to the item index within the array.

Well, the replacement of * might work in this situation. But it will not work when there are errors inside nested arrays or the field that failed the validation is a grandchild of an array. Because the index property only exists when the field is an immediate child of an array.

But anyway, after this release, you do not have to perform any manual substitutions. The field names are nested paths with the correct index. The following is an example of errors with @vinejs/vine@2.

{
  field: 'categories.1',
  index: 1,
  message: 'The 1 field must be a number',
  rule: 'number',
},
{
  field: 'categories.2',
  index: 2,
  message: 'The 2 field must be a number',
  rule: 'number',
}

Infer Schema Input value ( Breaking )

After this release, you can infer the input values a Schema type accepts. Let's consider the following example.

import { InferInput } from '@vinejs/vine/types'

const schema = vine.object({
  is_admin: vine.boolean()
})

InferInput<typeof Schema>
{
  is_admin: boolean | string | number
}

If you notice, the is_admin property accepts a boolean | string | number. VineJS is built for parsing form inputs submitted over HTTP. Therefore, it receives all inputs as string values and performs normalization before performing any sort of validation.

Because of this change, the BaseSchema classes accept another generic value for the InputTypes. So, if you use the BaseSchema anywhere in your apps, make sure to pass the Input type as the first generic argument.

Also, please consult this commit for a better understanding of the change. df27df8

Define error messages for specific array index or a wildcard ( New feature )

Now, you will be able to define custom error messages for specific array indexes with a wildcard fallback for rest of the indexes. For example:

{
  "contacts.0.email.required": "The primary email address is required",
  "contacts.*.email.required": "The email address is required",
}

  • chore: update dependencies 8ff246f

Support for validating dates

22 Nov 02:01
Compare
Choose a tag to compare

This release adds support for validating dates in VineJS. You may check the documentation here. https://vinejs.dev/docs/types/date

The vine.date schema type accepts a string value formatted as a date and returns an instance of the JavaScript Date object. The reason we accept a string is because the data submitted over an HTTP request will always represent date/datetime as a string.

Once you have a date, you may validate it further by comparing it against a fixed value or compare it against values from other fields. You may refer the documentation to view all the available validation rules.
