gaia-schematype Build Status

Base constructor for all gaia-schema data types.

Installation

Node.js

gaia-schematype is available on npm.

$ npm install gaia-schematype

Usage

  • @param {String} name of type
  • @param {Object} object to mixin

This is the base for all Gaia Schema data types. This class should not be used directly but extended or as a mixin.

var SchemaType = require('gaia-schematype');

// inheritance
function CustomType () {
  SchemaType.call(this, 'custom');
}

inherits(CustomType, SchemaType);

// mixin
function CustomType () {
  // nothing needed here
}

SchemaType('custom', CustomType.prototype);

.rejected (value[, spec])

  • @param {Mixed} value to test
  • @param {Object} spec to validate against
  • @return {null|Error} validation error

Invoke the validation rules of this data type. Will return null if the data is valid or an Error object with relevant information if there was a problem. If you don't need to know the reason for the reject, use .valid() instead.

var ve = custom.validate(value, spec);
if (ve) throw ve;

.valid (value[, spec])

  • @param {Mixed} value to test
  • @param {Object} spec to validate against
  • @return {Boolean} does validation pass

Invoke the validation rules of this data type. Will return true or false depending on whether the validation rules pass or fail. If you need to know what validation aspect failed, use .rejected() instead.

if (custom.valid(value, spec)) {
  // all good
}

.wrap(value[, spec])

  • @param {Mixed} value to wrap
  • @param {Object} spec to wrap against
  • @return {Mixed} result

Invokes the wrap rules of this data type. Will throw wrap rule errors if they occur. Otherwise it will return the appropriate data element. It is up to the user to to validate beforehand.

var spec = { case: 'upper' }
  , value = 'hello universe'
  , err = custom.rejected(value, spec)
  , res = null;

if (!err) {
  try {
    res = custom.wrap(value, spec);
  } catch (ex) {
    err = ex;
  }
}

cb(err, res);

.unwrap(value[, spec])

  • @param {Mixed} value to unwrap
  • @param {Object} spec to unwrap against
  • @return {Mixed} result

._validate (value[, spec])

  • @param {Mixed} value to validate
  • @param {Object} spec to validate against

Implementors of custom data types need to provide this method to validate their respective data. Advise using ._assert() for each validation scenario or throw an Error if a condition is not met.

._wrap(value[, spec])

  • @param {Mixed} value to wrap
  • @param {Object} spec to wrap against

Implementors of custom data types need to provide this method to specify how this data type should wrap specific data points. For example, a X/Y vector point specified as an object can be exported as an array of [ x, y ].

._unwrap(value[, spec])

  • @param {Mixed} value to unwrap
  • @param {Object} spec to unwrapagainst

Implementors of custom data types need to provide this method to specify how this data type should unwrap specific data points. For example, a X/Y vector point wrap as an array can be unwrapped to an object of { x: arr[0], y: arr[1] }.

._assert (test, message, properties)

  • @param {Mixed} truthy test
  • @param {String} error message when fail
  • @param {Object} additional properties

Validation rules by implementors should throw errors when a condition is not met. This normalizes all errors as AssertionErrors with the appropriate data.

Properties:

  • actual: the actual value for the scenario
  • expected: the expected value for the scenario
  • operator: how the values where compared
CustomType.prototype._validate = function () {
  this._assert(
      'string' === typeof this.value
    , 'Expected type of string but got ' + typeof this.value + '.'
    , {
          actual: typeof value
        , expected: 'string'
        , operator: '==='
      }
  );
};
