validation models can be used to define validation object that
can be used in multiple schemes
`
const models = {
id: {
type: 'string'
regex: '^[a-f\d]{24}$'
}
}
pine = Pine({models});
let schema1 = [
{
path: 'user.id',
model: 'id'
},
]
let schema2 = [
{
path: 'product.id',
model: 'id'
}
]
pine.validate(obj1, schema1);
pine.validate(obj2, schema2);
this will simply compine {...model, ...schemaObject}
`
* label: label is useful for returning a user readable message
* type: can be 'string', 'number', 'array', 'object', 'boolean', 'date'
* required: true or false
* length: can be a number or object length: 5 , length: {min: 10, max: 100}
* regex: takes a regex expression to match
* oneOf: array of string from which the user value must be included ['male','female']
* canParse: takes a string 'int' , 'date' , 'float' check if a value can be parsed.
* items: validates array items and takes an a validation model reference object if validating array of strings of validation models reference array if validating array of objects
