Plugin for AJV that adds support for some of string formats adding in the draft2019 JSON Schema.
npm install ajv-formats-draft2019An AJV plugin adding support for draft2019 formats missing from AJV.
Currently, iri, iri-reference, idn-email, idn-hostname, and duration
formats are supported. duration was added in draft 2019. The uuid format was
added in draft2019, but is already supported by the ajv-formats package.

The idn-email and idn-hostname formats are implemented per RFC 1123, however
earlier JSON schemas specify RFC 1034. This is probably just fine, but you have
been warned...
``sh`
npm install --save ajv-formats-draft2019
The default export is an apply function that patches an existing instance ofajv.
`js
const Ajv = require('ajv');
const apply = require('ajv-formats-draft2019');
const ajv = new Ajv();
apply(ajv); // returns ajv instance, allowing chaining
let schema = {
type: 'string',
format: 'idn-email',
};
ajv.validate(schema, 'квіточка@пошта.укр'); // returns true
`
The apply function also accepts a second optional parameter to specify whichajv
formats to add to the instance.
`js
const Ajv = require('ajv');
const apply = require('ajv-formats-draft2019');
const ajv = new Ajv();
// Install only the idn-email and iri formats
apply(ajv, { formats: ['idn-email', 'iri'] });
`
The module also provides an alternate entrypoint ajv-formats-draft2019/formatsajv
that works with the constructor to add the formats to new instances.
`js
const Ajv = require('ajv');
const formats = require('ajv-formats-draft2019/formats');
const ajv = new Ajv({ formats });
let schema = {
type: 'string',
format: 'idn-email',
};
ajv.validate(schema, 'квіточка@пошта.укр'); // returns true
`
Using the ajv-formats-draft2019/formats entry point also allows cherry picking-
formats. Note the approach below only works for formats that don't contain a
hypen in the name. This approach may yield smaller packed bundles since it
allows tree-shaking to remove unwanted validators and related dependencies.
`js`
const Ajv = require('ajv');
const { duration, iri } = require('ajv-formats-draft2019/formats');
const ajv = new Ajv({ formats: { duration, iri } });
The library also provides an idn export to load only the international formatsiri
(ie. , iri-reference, idn-hostname and idn-email).
`js`
const Ajv = require('ajv');
const formats = require('ajv-formats-draft2019/idn');
const ajv = new Ajv({ formats });
The string is parsed with 'uri-js' and the scheme is checked against the list of
known IANA schemes. If it's a 'mailto' schemes, all of the to: addresses are
validated, otherwise we check there IRI includes a path and is an absolute
reference.
All valid IRIs are valid. Fragments must have a valid path and of type
"relative", "same-document" or "uri". If there is a scheme, it must be valid.
Validating a IRI references is challenging since the syntax is so permissive.
Basically, any URL-safe string is a valid IRI syntactically. I struggled to find
negative test cases
when writing the unit tests for IRI-references. Consider:
- google.com is NOT a valid IRI because it does not include a scheme.file.txt
- is a valid IRI-reference/this:that
- is a valid IRI-referencethis:that
- is a NOT a valid IRI-reference
smtp-address-parser is
used to check the validity of the email.
The hostname is converted to ascii with punycode and checked for a valid tld.
The string is checked against a regex.
- Updated schemes dependency, adding support for modbus+tcp and mqtt in URIs.
- Fix tests to work with AJV v7+ and how ajv is exported, rather than changes
to this library.
- Upgrade dependencies
- The last release that's compatible with Node 8.
- Fixed a bug when validated mailto:` IRIs.
