The CLI tool automatically generates basic validation rules for popular libraries such as JOI, ValidatorJS and @vinejs/vine rules based on your database table schema. These rules serve as a convenient starting point, allowing you to refine and enhance them to suit your specific needs.
ndVr CLI bash
npm install nodejs-schema-rules -g
yarn add global nodejs-schema-rules
`
Then run ndVr init for initialization of schema.config.js file then modify as your requirement.`bash
ndVr init
`Modify the
schema.config.js`javascript
require("dotenv").config();
const schemaConfig = {
defaultDatabase: 'sqlite',
databases: {
postgres: {
host: 'localhost',
port: 5432,
user: 'postgres',
password: '123456',
database: 'testing'
},
mysql: {
host: 'localhost',
port: 3306,
user: 'root',
password: '123456',
database: 'schema_builder'
},
sqlite: { database: './schema_builder.db' }
},
skipColumns: [ 'created_at', 'updated_at', 'deleted_at' ],
validationSchemaType: 'joi'
};
module.exports = schemaConfig;
`Usage
The
ndVr joi -t my_table -db mysql -c column1,column2 command generates validation rules for a specified database table and its columns. It creates a validation rules based on the chosen validation libraries like joi, "validatorjs", "vine". The generated rules can be used to enforce data integrity and validate incoming requests in your application. Options:
- -db, --database: Specify the type of database (e.g.,
mysql, postgres, sqlite).
- -t, --table: Specify the name of the database table for which rules should be generated.
- -c, --columns: Specify the column names of the table to generate rules for.
- -h, --help: Display help for the command. Examples:
- Generate rules for a MySQL table named
users with columns id and name:
`bash
ndVr joi -t users -db mysql -c id,name
` - Generate rules for a PostgreSQL table named
users with a validation library validatorJs:
`bash
ndVr validatorJs -t users -db mysql -c id,name
`
as same as for sqlite.Let's say you've the table structure:
`sql
CREATE TABLE data_types (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
name TEXT,
age INTEGER,
height REAL,
is_student BOOLEAN,
birthdate DATE,
registration_timestamp TIMESTAMP,
description BLOB
created_at TIMESTAMP,
updated_at TIMESTAMP
);
`$3
Now if you run:
`bash
ndVr joi -db sqlite -t data_types
`You'll get:
`
š Schema Base Validation rules for "joi" generated! š
Copy and paste these rules into your validation location, such as controller, form request, or any applicable place š
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
{
name: Joi.string().required(),
age: Joi.integer().min(-9223372036854775808).max(9223372036854775807).required(),
height: Joi.number().required(),
is_student: Joi.required(),
birthdate: Joi.date().required(),
registration_timestamp: Joi.required(),
description: Joi.required(),
}
`$3
You can also explicitly specify the columns:
`bash
ndVr joi -db sqlite -t data_types -c name,age
`Which gives you:
`š Schema Base Validation rules for "joi" generated! š
Copy and paste these rules into your validation location, such as controller, form request, or any applicable place š
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
{
name: Joi.string().required(),
age: Joi.integer().min(-9223372036854775808).max(9223372036854775807).required(),
}
`$3
To always skip columns add it in the
schema-config.js file, under skipColumns attribute.`javascript
skipColumns: (process.env.SKIP_COLUMNS || 'created_at,updated_at,deleted_at').split(',')
`
Supported Drivers
Supported database drivers are MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.
Validation rules may vary based on the selected driver due to differences in supported data types and range specifications.
Testing
`bash
yarn test
