# ObjectSchema Package | |
## Overview | |
A JavaScript object merge/validation utility where you can define a different merge and validation strategy for each key. This is helpful when you need to validate complex data structures and then merge them in a way that is more complex than `Object.assign()`. This is used in the [`@eslint/config-array`](https://npmjs.com/package/@eslint/config-array) package but can also be used on its own. | |
## Installation | |
For Node.js and compatible runtimes: | |
```shell | |
npm install @eslint/object-schema | |
# or | |
yarn add @eslint/object-schema | |
# or | |
pnpm install @eslint/object-schema | |
# or | |
bun install @eslint/object-schema | |
``` | |
For Deno: | |
```shell | |
deno add @eslint/object-schema | |
``` | |
## Usage | |
Import the `ObjectSchema` constructor: | |
```js | |
// using ESM | |
import { ObjectSchema } from "@eslint/object-schema"; | |
// using CommonJS | |
const { ObjectSchema } = require("@eslint/object-schema"); | |
const schema = new ObjectSchema({ | |
// define a definition for the "downloads" key | |
downloads: { | |
required: true, | |
merge(value1, value2) { | |
return value1 + value2; | |
}, | |
validate(value) { | |
if (typeof value !== "number") { | |
throw new Error("Expected downloads to be a number."); | |
} | |
}, | |
}, | |
// define a strategy for the "versions" key | |
version: { | |
required: true, | |
merge(value1, value2) { | |
return value1.concat(value2); | |
}, | |
validate(value) { | |
if (!Array.isArray(value)) { | |
throw new Error("Expected versions to be an array."); | |
} | |
}, | |
}, | |
}); | |
const record1 = { | |
downloads: 25, | |
versions: ["v1.0.0", "v1.1.0", "v1.2.0"], | |
}; | |
const record2 = { | |
downloads: 125, | |
versions: ["v2.0.0", "v2.1.0", "v3.0.0"], | |
}; | |
// make sure the records are valid | |
schema.validate(record1); | |
schema.validate(record2); | |
// merge together (schema.merge() accepts any number of objects) | |
const result = schema.merge(record1, record2); | |
// result looks like this: | |
const result = { | |
downloads: 75, | |
versions: ["v1.0.0", "v1.1.0", "v1.2.0", "v2.0.0", "v2.1.0", "v3.0.0"], | |
}; | |
``` | |
## Tips and Tricks | |
### Named merge strategies | |
Instead of specifying a `merge()` method, you can specify one of the following strings to use a default merge strategy: | |
- `"assign"` - use `Object.assign()` to merge the two values into one object. | |
- `"overwrite"` - the second value always replaces the first. | |
- `"replace"` - the second value replaces the first if the second is not `undefined`. | |
For example: | |
```js | |
const schema = new ObjectSchema({ | |
name: { | |
merge: "replace", | |
validate() {}, | |
}, | |
}); | |
``` | |
### Named validation strategies | |
Instead of specifying a `validate()` method, you can specify one of the following strings to use a default validation strategy: | |
- `"array"` - value must be an array. | |
- `"boolean"` - value must be a boolean. | |
- `"number"` - value must be a number. | |
- `"object"` - value must be an object. | |
- `"object?"` - value must be an object or null. | |
- `"string"` - value must be a string. | |
- `"string!"` - value must be a non-empty string. | |
For example: | |
```js | |
const schema = new ObjectSchema({ | |
name: { | |
merge: "replace", | |
validate: "string", | |
}, | |
}); | |
``` | |
### Subschemas | |
If you are defining a key that is, itself, an object, you can simplify the process by using a subschema. Instead of defining `merge()` and `validate()`, assign a `schema` key that contains a schema definition, like this: | |
```js | |
const schema = new ObjectSchema({ | |
name: { | |
schema: { | |
first: { | |
merge: "replace", | |
validate: "string", | |
}, | |
last: { | |
merge: "replace", | |
validate: "string", | |
}, | |
}, | |
}, | |
}); | |
schema.validate({ | |
name: { | |
first: "n", | |
last: "z", | |
}, | |
}); | |
``` | |
### Remove Keys During Merge | |
If the merge strategy for a key returns `undefined`, then the key will not appear in the final object. For example: | |
```js | |
const schema = new ObjectSchema({ | |
date: { | |
merge() { | |
return undefined; | |
}, | |
validate(value) { | |
Date.parse(value); // throws an error when invalid | |
}, | |
}, | |
}); | |
const object1 = { date: "5/5/2005" }; | |
const object2 = { date: "6/6/2006" }; | |
const result = schema.merge(object1, object2); | |
console.log("date" in result); // false | |
``` | |
### Requiring Another Key Be Present | |
If you'd like the presence of one key to require the presence of another key, you can use the `requires` property to specify an array of other properties that any key requires. For example: | |
```js | |
const schema = new ObjectSchema(); | |
const schema = new ObjectSchema({ | |
date: { | |
merge() { | |
return undefined; | |
}, | |
validate(value) { | |
Date.parse(value); // throws an error when invalid | |
}, | |
}, | |
time: { | |
requires: ["date"], | |
merge(first, second) { | |
return second; | |
}, | |
validate(value) { | |
// ... | |
}, | |
}, | |
}); | |
// throws error: Key "time" requires keys "date" | |
schema.validate({ | |
time: "13:45", | |
}); | |
``` | |
In this example, even though `date` is an optional key, it is required to be present whenever `time` is present. | |
