openapi-request-validator [![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![Downloads][downloads-image]][npm-url] [![Build Status][travis-image]][travis-url] [![Coveralls Status][coveralls-image]][coveralls-url] [![Gitter chat][gitter-image]][gitter-url]

> Validate request properties against an OpenAPI spec.

Highlights

* Performant.
* Extensively tested.
* Small footprint.
* Does not validate parameter input. Converts parameter input to jsonschema using openapi-jsonschema-parameters.
* Leverages jsonschema.
* Supports $ref in body schemas i.e. #/definitions/SomeType.
* Does not supply default values (use openapi-default-setter).
* Does not handle type coercion (use openapi-request-coercer).

Example

See ./test/data-driven/*.js for more examples.

``javascript
var OpenAPIRequestValidator = require('openapi-request-validator');
var validator = new OpenAPIRequestValidator({
parameters: [
{
in: 'query',
type: 'string',
name: 'foo',
required: true
}
],
requestBody: { // optional OpenApi v3 requestBodyObject
contents: {
'application/json': {
schema: {
properties:
name:
type: 'string'
}
}
}
},
schemas: null, // an optional array or object of jsonschemas used to dereference $ref
version: 'swagger-2.0', // default optional value for future versions of openapi
errorTransformer: null, // an optional transformer function to format errors
customFormats: {
// support "format": "foo" for types.
foo: function(input) {
return input === 'foo';
}
}
});

var request = {
body: {},
params: {},
query: {foo: 'wow'}
};
var errors = validator.validate(request);
console.log(errors); // => null

API

$3

#### args.parameters

An array of openapi parameters.

#### args.schemas

If given as an array, each schema must have an id property. See ./test/data-driven/
for tests with schemas. Ids may be schema local (i.e. #/definitions/SomeType),
or URL based (i.e. /SomeType). When supplied, $ref usage will map exactly to the
Id e.g. if id is /SomeType, $ref must be /SomeType.

If given as an object, it will be assigned to bodySchema.definitions. Schemas may then be dereferenced in parameters by using #/definitions/.

#### args.version

An optional string that currently does nothing. This will ensure nothing breaks
for new versions of openapi drafts that get added in the future.

#### args.errorTransformer

A function that transforms errors.

This function is passed 2 arguments.

`
errorTransformer: function(openapiError, ajvError) {
return {
message: openapiError.message
};
}
`

See the error format in ajv for
ajvError. openapiErrors have the following properties:

* errorCode - A jsonschema error suffixed with .openapi.validation.
* location - One of body, headers, path, or query. Signifies where validation
failed.
* message - A detailed message as to why validation failed.
* path - The property of the location that failed validation.

#### args.customFormats

An object of formatters to use for the format keyword.

See Custom Formats in jsonschema.
