A Seneca.js plugin that validates messages using the joi module.

seneca-joi

Installation

npm install seneca-joi

And in your code:

require('seneca')({
  legacy: {validate: false} // needed if using Seneca 2.x
})
.use('seneca-joi', {
  joi: {allowUnknown: true}    // example of passing in Joi options
})

Usage

You can validate action messages by providing joi rules as part of the action definition.

var Joi = require('joi')

require('seneca')
    .use('seneca-joi')
    .add(
      {
        a: 1,
        b: Joi.required()
      },
      function (msg, done) {
        done(null, {c: msg.b})
      })
    .act('a:1,b:2') // valid
    .act('a:1') // invalid as no b value

Any properties in the action pattern that are not constants are interpreted as joi rules.

You can also modify or replace the Joi schema by providing a function via the joi$ property. This gives you full control of the Joi schema.

var Joi = require('joi')

require('seneca')
    .use('seneca-joi')
    .add(
      {
        a: 1,
        joi$: function (schema) {
          return schema.keys({b: Joi.required()})
        }
      },
      function (msg, done) {
        done(null, {c: msg.b})
      })
    .act('a:1,b:2') // valid
    .act('a:1') // invalid as no b value
