validate

Run validations on a set of data using pre-defined rules. This method stops after the first validation failure.

Table 1. Parameters
data	Object
rules	Object
messages	Object optional
formatter	Formatter optional

Imports

The full build exports the validate method from the top level object.

const { validate } = require('indicative')

When using customized build, you need to configure the validator instance before you can make use of the validate method.

import Validator from 'indicative/builds/validator'
import { email } from 'indicative/builds/validations'

import { Vanilla } from 'indicative/builds/formatters'

const { validate } = Validator({ email }, Vanilla)

Usage

A miminum of 2 parameters are required to call validate method.

validate(data, rules)
.then(() => {
})
.catch(() => {
})

Optionally you can pass a custom set of messages.

const messages = {
  'username.required': 'Username is required to continue'
}

validate(data, rules, messages)

Optionally pass an inbuilt or a custom formatter.

import { JsonApi } from 'indicative/builds/formatters'
validate(data, rules, messages, JsonApi)

// full build
const { formatters } = require('indicative')
validate(data, rules, messages, formatters.JsonApi)
