Validator-Extended

validator.js

Based on validator.js
Current version based on: 4.2.1

var validator = require('validatorExtended');

node-validator-extended

The main purpose of this repo is to add redundancy functions that won't be added in the validator.js repository. These functions could be useful for some people.

Validators

The following functions have been added to the original Validator:

notNull(str): boolean - Check if string is not null.
notEmpty(str): boolean - Check if string is not empty.
isEmpty(str): boolean - Check if string is empty.

Tests

We now use mocha to perform tests.

npm install mocha -g

To run the test, just use mocha, assuming you're on the directory: mocha

C:\wamp\www\Ayolan\Validator-extended>mocha
    ValidatorExtended
        #notNull()
          V should return true when a value is present
          V should return false when there is no value
        #notEmpty()
          V should return true when a value is present
          V should return false when there is no value
        #isEmpty()
          V should return true when a value is present
          V should return false when there is no value

The library isn't up-to-date?

The official validator library updates itself quite often, so I am most of the time out-of-date. In order to provide the most recent version I have decided to write in the package.json the following dependency: "validator": "latest". So you can just do npm update validator-extended and it will install the latest validator version in node_modules/validator.

But it won't work for the browser version, which requires a manual update from me and a new publish on npm. In this case just create an issue to ask for the latest version! I'll do it ASAP.

Licence

You can obviously fork and add other functions. Please just check if they should not belong to the validator.js repository before! :)

Usage no npm install needed!
