kontur

a little DSL that outputs JSON schema

instruction on validating request body in koa using ajv and kontur

overview

import { compile, bool, int, str } from 'kontur'

compile({
  gender: str,
  age: int,
  nickname: str,
  verified: bool
})

will generate

{
  type: 'object',
  properties: {
     gender: { type: 'string' },
     age: { type: 'integer' },
     nickname: { type: 'string' },
     verified: { type: 'boolean' }
  },
  required: [ 'gender', 'age', 'nickname', 'verified' ]
}

compile({
  gender: str.in('male', 'female').optional,
  age: int.between(0, 200),
  nickname: str.minlen(3).match(/^[a-zA-Z]/),
  verified: bool.optional.default(false)
})

will generate

{
  type: 'object',
  properties: {
    gender: {
      enum: ['male', 'female'],
      type: 'string'
    },
    age: {
      minimum: 0,
      maximum: 200,
      type: 'integer'
    },
    nickname: {
      minLength: 3,
      pattern: '^[a-zA-Z]',
      type: 'string'
    },
    verified: {
      default: false,
      type: 'boolean'
    }
  },
  required: [ 'age', 'nickname' ]
}

nested schema

compile({
  assignment: {
    assignees: array.len(3).uniq.items(str.len(16)),
    assigner: object.strict.properties({
      id: str.len(16)
    }),
    assigned_at: str.datetime
  }
})

the output can be found here

types

object

strict, no extra properties should be included

size(num), maxsize(num), minsize(num), limit the number of properties

properties(schema), specify schema of children

array

strict, no extra items should be included

len(num), minlen(num), maxlen(num), limit the length of the array

items(schema), all element should match

uniq

contains(schema), at least one element should match

string

match(regexp), match a regular expression

email, ipv4, ipv6, uri, datetime, built-in formats

number/int

min(num), max(num), between(num, num),

min(num).exclusive, max(num).exclusive

null

nil just null

boolean

bool

tuple(direived from array)

use plain array

[str, int.between(1,5)]

enum

str.in('created', 'suspended', 'deleted')

any('male', 'female')

miscs

optional used in context of object, by default all keys are required

depends(keys) used in context of object

default(value) add default value

desc(text) add description

title(text) add title

combining schemas

all

all(int.min(0), int.max(1))

any

any(int.min(1).exclusive, int.max(0).exclusive)

one

one(int.min(0), int.max(1))

not

not.nil

not.object.array
