Joi email validation - Node.js

Post data is validated from joi library like how to use validation, valid email, length etc. And how to send validation error to the server.

1.Create new request for post

2. Send body raw data

{
    "first_name": "",
    "last_name": "",
    "mobile_no": "",
    "email_id": "",
    "password" : ""
}

Create new post route for the request handle

router.post('/', (req, res, next) => {
	
});

1. Install joi module in express

2. Import joi in route page

import Joi from 'joi';

set validation rules for validate body data

const simple_validate = Joi.object({
    first_name : Joi.string().required(), // require first name
    last_name : Joi.string().required(), // require last name
    mobile_no : Joi.string().required().length(10), // require mobile no and exact length is 10
    email_id : Joi.string().email().required(), // valid email and require email
    password : Joi.string().required().min(6), // require password and minimum length 6
});

Call validate function for apply all rules

const { error } = simple_validate.validate(req.body);

if any field mismatch this rule then throw error from joi validate class.

if(error){
    return res.json({error : error.message});
}

If error object is get then return error message to client side.

Ex. Show error one by one

First_name error message
{
	"error": "\"first_name\" is not allowed to be empty"
}
last_name error message
{
   "error": "\"last_name\" is not allowed to be empty"
}
mobile_no field error message
{
   "error": "\"mobile_no\" is not allowed to be empty"
}

{
   "error": "\"mobile_no\" length must be 10 characters long"
}
Email_id field error message
{
   "error": "\"email_id\" is not allowed to be empty"
}

{
   "error": "\"email_id\" must be a valid email"
}
Password field error message
{
   "error": "\"password\" is not allowed to be empty"
}

{
   "error": "\"password\" length must be at least 6 characters long"
}
Joi validation with object inside object
{
    "first_name": "deepak",
    "last_name": "tailor",
    "mobile_no": "1234567890",
    "email_id": "deepak@email.com",
    "password_data": {
        "password": "123456",
        "confirm_password": "123456"
    }
}
email_id : Joi.string().email().required(), // valid email and require email
password_data : Joi.object({
    password : Joi.string().required().min(6), // require password and minimum length 6
    confirm_password : Joi.string().required().min(6), // require confirm password and minimum length 6
}),
Password error message
{
   "error": "\"password_data.password\" is not allowed to be empty"
}
Confirm Password error message
{
   "error": "\"password_data.confirm_password\" length must be at least 6 characters long"
}
