json-schema-validation-middleware

Validate your incoming requests using a json schema. Tested with restify.

Usage

Create your restify server and your json schema. Adding a validation middleware to an endpoint couldn't be simpler:

var validationMW = require('json-schema-validation-middleware');
server.post('/foo', [
    validationMW(schema),
    myRealHandler
]);

You can optionally configure the middleware to use a custom error handler:

validationMW.configure({
    errorHandler: function (error, res, next) {
        //Do whatever you like here, for instance:
        res.send(400);
    }
});

Formats

The middleware uses the tv4-formats library, so the formats defined there are supported.

Accessing tv4

You can access tv4 directly, for instance to add schema definitions or formatters:

var tv4 = require('json-schema-validation-middleware').tv4;

Development

Style

An .editorconfig and .jshintrc enforce a coding style.
