## Installation
```sh
npm install class-validator --save
```
> Note: Please use at least npm@6 when using class-validator. From npm@6 the dependency tree is flattened, which is required by `class-validator` to function properly.
## Usage
Create your class and put some validation decorators on the properties you want to validate:
```typescript
import {
validate,
validateOrReject,
Contains,
IsInt,
Length,
IsEmail,
IsFQDN,
IsDate,
Min,
Max,
} from 'class-validator';
export class Post {
@Length(10, 20)
title: string;
@Contains('hello')
text: string;
@IsInt()
@Min(0)
@Max(10)
rating: number;
@IsEmail()
email: string;
@IsFQDN()
site: string;
@IsDate()
createDate: Date;
}
let post = new Post();
post.title = 'Hello'; // should not pass
post.text = 'this is a great post about hell world'; // should not pass
post.rating = 11; // should not pass
post.email = 'google.com'; // should not pass
post.site = 'googlecom'; // should not pass
validate(post).then(errors => {
// errors is an array of validation errors
if (errors.length > 0) {
console.log('validation failed. errors: ', errors);
} else {
console.log('validation succeed');
}
});
validateOrReject(post).catch(errors => {
console.log('Promise rejected (validation failed). Errors: ', errors);
});
// or
async function validateOrRejectExample(input) {
try {
await validateOrReject(input);
} catch (errors) {
console.log('Caught promise rejection (validation failed). Errors: ', errors);
}
}
```
### Passing options
The `validate` function optionally expects a `ValidatorOptions` object as a second parameter:
```ts
export interface ValidatorOptions {
skipMissingProperties?: boolean;
whitelist?: boolean;
forbidNonWhitelisted?: boolean;
groups?: string[];
dismissDefaultMessages?: boolean;
validationError?: {
target?: boolean;
value?: boolean;
};
forbidUnknownValues?: boolean;
stopAtFirstError?: boolean;
}
```
> **IMPORTANT**
> The `forbidUnknownValues` value is set to `true` by default and **it is highly advised to keep the default**.
> Setting it to `false` will result unknown objects passing the validation!
## Validation errors
The `validate` method returns an array of `ValidationError` objects. Each `ValidationError` is:
```typescript
{
target: Object; // Object that was validated.
property: string; // Object's property that haven't pass validation.
value: any; // Value that haven't pass a validation.
constraints?: { // Constraints that failed validation with error messages.
[type: string]: string;
};
children?: ValidationError[]; // Contains all nested validation errors of the property
}
```
In our case, when we validated a Post object, we have such an array of `ValidationError` objects:
```typescript
[{
target: /* post object */,
property: "title",
value: "Hello",
constraints: {
length: "$property must be longer than or equal to 10 characters"
}
}, {
target: /* post object */,
property: "text",
value: "this is a great post about hell world",
constraints: {
contains: "text must contain a hello string"
}
},
// and other errors
]
```
If you don't want a `target` to be exposed in validation errors, there is a special option when you use validator:
```typescript
validator.validate(post, { validationError: { target: false } });
```
This is especially useful when you send errors back over http, and you most probably don't want to expose
the whole target object.
## Validation messages
You can specify validation message in the decorator options and that message will be returned in the `ValidationError`
returned by the `validate` method (in the case that validation for this field fails).
```typescript
import { MinLength, MaxLength } from 'class-validator';
export class Post {
@MinLength(10, {
message: 'Title is too short',
})
@MaxLength(50, {
message: 'Title is too long',
})
title: string;
}
```
There are few special tokens you can use in your messages:
- `$value` - the value that is being validated
- `$property` - name of the object's property being validated
- `$target` - name of the object's class being validated
- `$constraint1`, `$constraint2`, ... `$constraintN` - constraints defined by specific validation type
Example of usage:
```typescript
import { MinLength, MaxLength } from 'class-validator';
export class Post {
@MinLength(10, {
// here, $constraint1 will be replaced with "10", and $value with actual supplied value
message: 'Title is too short. Minimal length is $constraint1 characters, but actual is $value',
})
@MaxLength(50, {
// here, $constraint1 will be replaced with "50", and $value with actual supplied value
message: 'Title is too long. Maximal length is $constraint1 characters, but actual is $value',
})
title: string;
}
```
Also you can provide a function, that returns a message. This allows you to create more granular messages:
```typescript
import { MinLength, MaxLength, ValidationArguments } from 'class-validator';
export class Post {
@MinLength(10, {
message: (args: ValidationArguments) => {
if (args.value.length === 1) {
return 'Too short, minimum length is 1 character';
} else {
return 'Too short, minimum length is ' + args.constraints[0] + ' characters';
}
},
})
title: string;
}
```
Message function accepts `ValidationArguments` which contains the following information:
- `value` - the value that is being validated
- `constraints` - array of constraints defined by specific validation type
- `targetName` - name of the object's class being validated
- `object` - object that is being validated
- `property` - name of the object's property being validated
## Validating arrays
If your field is an array and you want to perform validation of each item in the array you must specify a
special `each: true` decorator option:
```typescript
import { MinLength, MaxLength } from 'class-validator';
export class Post {
@MaxLength(20, {
each: true,
})
tags: string[];
}
```
This will validate each item in `post.tags` array.
## Validating sets
If your field is a set and you want to perform validation of each item in the set you must specify a
special `each: true` decorator option:
```typescript
import { MinLength, MaxLength } from 'class-validator';
export class Post {
@MaxLength(20, {
each: true,
})
tags: Set<string>;
}
```
This will validate each item in `post.tags` set.
## Validating maps
If your field is a map and you want to perform validation of each item in the map you must specify a
special `each: true` decorator option:
```typescript
import { MinLength, MaxLength } from 'class-validator';
export class Post {
@MaxLength(20, {
each: true,
})
tags: Map<string, string>;
}
```
This will validate each item in `post.tags` map.
## Validating nested objects
If your object contains nested objects and you want the validator to perform their validation too, then you need to
use the `@ValidateNested()` decorator:
```typescript
import { ValidateNested } from 'class-validator';
export class Post {
@ValidateNested()
user: User;
}
```
Please note that nested object _must_ be an instance of a class, otherwise `@ValidateNested` won't know what class is target of validation. Check also [Validating plain objects](#validating-plain-objects).
It also works with multi-dimensional array, like :
```typescript
import { ValidateNested } from 'class-validator';
export class Plan2D {
@ValidateNested()
matrix: Point[][];
}
```
## Validating promises
If your object contains property with `Promise`-returned value that should be validated, then you need to use the `@ValidatePromise()` decorator:
```typescript
import { ValidatePromise, Min } from 'class-validator';
export class Post {
@Min(0)
@ValidatePromise()
userId: Promise<number>;
}
```
It also works great with `@ValidateNested` decorator:
```typescript
import { ValidateNested, ValidatePromise } from 'class-validator';
export class Post {
@ValidateNested()
@ValidatePromise()
user: Promise<User>;
}
```
## Inheriting Validation decorators
When you define a subclass which extends from another one, the subclass will automatically inherit the parent's decorators. If a property is redefined in the descendant, class decorators will be applied on it from both its own class and the base class.
```typescript
import { validate } from 'class-validator';
class BaseContent {
@IsEmail()
email: string;
@IsString()
password: string;
}
class User extends BaseContent {
@MinLength(10)
@MaxLength(20)
name: string;
@Contains('hello')
welcome: string;
@MinLength(20)
password: string;
}
let user = new User();
user.email = 'invalid email'; // inherited property
user.password = 'too short'; // password wil be validated not only against IsString, but against MinLength as well
user.name = 'not valid';
user.welcome = 'helo';
validate(user).then(errors => {
// ...
}); // it will return errors for email, password, name and welcome properties
```
## Conditional validation
The conditional validation decorator (`@ValidateIf`) can be used to ignore the validators on a property when the provided condition function returns false. The condition function takes the object being validated and must return a `boolean`.
```typescript
import { ValidateIf, IsNotEmpty } from 'class-validator';
export class Post {
otherProperty: string;
@ValidateIf(o => o.otherProperty === 'value')
@IsNotEmpty()
example: string;
}
```
In the example above, the validation rules applied to `example` won't be run unless the object's `otherProperty` is `"value"`.
Note that when the condition is false all validation decorators are ignored, including `isDefined`.
## Whitelisting
Even if your object is an instance of a validation class it can contain additional properties that are not defined.
If you do not want to have such properties on your object, pass special flag to `validate` method:
```typescript
import { validate } from 'class-validator';
// ...
validate(post, { whitelist: true });
```
This will strip all properties that don't have any decorators. If no other decorator is suitable for your property,
you can use @Allow decorator:
```typescript
import {validate, Allow, Min} from "class-validator";
export class Post {
@Allow()
title: string;
@Min(0)
views: number;
nonWhitelistedProperty: number;
}
let post = new Post();
post.title = 'Hello world!';
post.views = 420;
post.nonWhitelistedProperty = 69;
(post as any).anotherNonWhitelistedProperty = "something";
validate(post).then(errors => {
// post.nonWhitelistedProperty is not defined
// (post as any).anotherNonWhitelistedProperty is not defined
...
});
```
If you would rather to have an error thrown when any non-whitelisted properties are present, pass another flag to
`validate` method:
```typescript
import { validate } from 'class-validator';
// ...
validate(post, { whitelist: true, forbidNonWhitelisted: true });
```
## Passing context to decorators
It's possible to pass a custom object to decorators which will be accessible on the `ValidationError` instance of the property if validation failed.
```ts
import { validate } from 'class-validator';
class MyClass {
@MinLength(32, {
message: 'EIC code must be at least 32 characters',
context: {
errorCode: 1003,
developerNote: 'The validated string must contain 32 or more characters.',
},
})
eicCode: string;
}
const model = new MyClass();
validate(model).then(errors => {
//errors[0].contexts['minLength'].errorCode === 1003
});
```
## Skipping missing properties
Sometimes you may want to skip validation of the properties that do not exist in the validating object. This is
usually desirable when you want to update some parts of the object, and want to validate only updated parts,
but skip everything else, e.g. skip missing properties.
In such situations you will need to pass a special flag to `validate` method:
```typescript
import { validate } from 'class-validator';
// ...
validate(post, { skipMissingProperties: true });
```
When skipping missing properties, sometimes you want not to skip all missing properties, some of them maybe required
for you, even if skipMissingProperties is set to true. For such cases you should use `@IsDefined()` decorator.
`@IsDefined()` is the only decorator that ignores `skipMissingProperties` option.
## Validation groups
In different situations you may want to use different validation schemas of the same object.
In such cases you can use validation groups.
> **IMPORTANT**
> Calling a validation with a group combination that would not result in a validation (eg: non existent group name)
> will result in a unknown value error. When validating with groups the provided group combination should match at least one decorator.
```typescript
import { validate, Min, Length } from 'class-validator';
export class User {
@Min(12, {
groups: ['registration'],
})
age: number;
@Length(2, 20, {
groups: ['registration', 'admin'],
})
name: string;
}
let user = new User();
user.age = 10;
user.name = 'Alex';
validate(user, {
groups: ['registration'],
}); // this will not pass validation
validate(user, {
groups: ['admin'],
}); // this will pass validation
validate(user, {
groups: ['registration', 'admin'],
}); // this will not pass validation
validate(user, {
groups: undefined, // the default
}); // this will not pass validation since all properties get validated regardless of their groups
validate(user, {
groups: [],
}); // this will not pass validation, (equivalent to 'groups: undefined', see above)
```
There is also a special flag `always: true` in validation options that you can use. This flag says that this validation
must be applied always no matter which group is used.
## Custom validation classes
If you have custom validation logic you can create a _Constraint class_:
1. First create a file, lets say `CustomTextLength.ts`, and define a new class:
```typescript
import { ValidatorConstraint, ValidatorConstraintInterface, ValidationArguments } from 'class-validator';
@ValidatorConstraint({ name: 'customText', async: false })
export class CustomTextLength implements ValidatorConstraintInterface {
validate(text: string, args: ValidationArguments) {
return text.length > 1 && text.length < 10; // for async validations you must return a Promise<boolean> here
}
defaultMessage(args: ValidationArguments) {
// here you can provide default error message if validation failed
return 'Text ($value) is too short or too long!';
}
}
```
We marked our class with `@ValidatorConstraint` decorator.
You can also supply a validation constraint name - this name will be used as "error type" in ValidationError.
If you will not supply a constraint name - it will be auto-generated.
Our class must implement `ValidatorConstraintInterface` interface and its `validate` method,
which defines validation logic. If validation succeeds, method returns true, otherwise false.
Custom validator can be asynchronous, if you want to perform validation after some asynchronous
operations, simply return a promise with boolean inside in `validate` method.
Also we defined optional method `defaultMessage` which defines a default error message,
in the case that the decorator's implementation doesn't set an error message.
2. Then you can use your new validation constraint in your class:
```typescript
import { Validate } from 'class-validator';
import { CustomTextLength } from './CustomTextLength';
export class Post {
@Validate(CustomTextLength, {
message: 'Title is too short or long!',
})
title: string;
}
```
Here we set our newly created `CustomTextLength` validation constraint for `Post.title`.
3. And use validator as usual:
```typescript
import { validate } from 'class-validator';
validate(post).then(errors => {
// ...
});
```
You can also pass constraints to your validator, like this:
```typescript
import { Validate } from 'class-validator';
import { CustomTextLength } from './CustomTextLength';
export class Post {
@Validate(CustomTextLength, [3, 20], {
message: 'Wrong post title',
})
title: string;
}
```
And use them from `validationArguments` object:
```typescript
import { ValidationArguments, ValidatorConstraint, ValidatorConstraintInterface } from 'class-validator';
@ValidatorConstraint()
export class CustomTextLength implements ValidatorConstraintInterface {
validate(text: string, validationArguments: ValidationArguments) {
return text.length > validationArguments.constraints[0] && text.length < validationArguments.constraints[1];
}
}
```
## Custom validation decorators
You can also create a custom decorators. Its the most elegant way of using a custom validations.
Lets create a decorator called `@IsLongerThan`:
1. Create a decorator itself:
```typescript
import { registerDecorator, ValidationOptions, ValidationArguments } from 'class-validator';
export function IsLongerThan(property: string, validationOptions?: ValidationOptions) {
return function (object: Object, propertyName: string) {
registerDecorator({
name: 'isLongerThan',
target: object.constructor,
propertyName: propertyName,
constraints: [property],
options: validationOptions,
validator: {
validate(value: any, args: ValidationArguments) {
const [relatedPropertyName] = args.constraints;
const relatedValue = (args.object as any)[relatedPropertyName];
return typeof value === 'string' && typeof relatedValue === 'string' && value.length > relatedValue.length; // you can return a Promise<boolean> here as well, if you want to make async validation
},
},
});
};
}
```
2. Put it to use:
```typescript
import { IsLongerThan } from './IsLongerThan';
export class Post {
title: string;
@IsLongerThan('title', {
/* you can also use additional validation options, like "groups" in your custom validation decorators. "each" is not supported */
message: 'Text must be longer than the title',
})
text: string;
}
```
In your custom decorators you can also use `ValidationConstraint`.
Lets create another custom validation decorator called `IsUserAlreadyExist`:
1. Create a ValidationConstraint and decorator:
```typescript
import {
registerDecorator,
ValidationOptions,
ValidatorConstraint,
ValidatorConstraintInterface,
ValidationArguments,
} from 'class-validator';
@ValidatorConstraint({ async: true })
export class IsUserAlreadyExistConstraint implements ValidatorConstraintInterface {
validate(userName: any, args: ValidationArguments) {
return UserRepository.findOneByName(userName).then(user => {
if (user) return false;
return true;
});
}
}
export function IsUserAlreadyExist(validationOptions?: ValidationOptions) {
return function (object: Object, propertyName: string) {
registerDecorator({
target: object.constructor,
propertyName: propertyName,
options: validationOptions,
constraints: [],
validator: IsUserAlreadyExistConstraint,
});
};
}
```
note that we marked our constraint that it will by async by adding `{ async: true }` in validation options.
2. And put it to use:
```typescript
import { IsUserAlreadyExist } from './IsUserAlreadyExist';
export class User {
@IsUserAlreadyExist({
message: 'User $value already exists. Choose another name.',
})
name: string;
}
```
## Using service container
Validator supports service container in the case if want to inject dependencies into your custom validator constraint
classes. Here is example how to integrate it with [typedi][2]:
```typescript
import { Container } from 'typedi';
import { useContainer, Validator } from 'class-validator';
// do this somewhere in the global application level:
useContainer(Container);
let validator = Container.get(Validator);
// now everywhere you can inject Validator class which will go from the container
// also you can inject classes using constructor injection into your custom ValidatorConstraint-s
```
## Synchronous validation
If you want to perform a simple non async validation you can use `validateSync` method instead of regular `validate`
method. It has the same arguments as `validate` method. But note, this method **ignores** all async validations
you have.
## Manual validation
There are several method exist in the Validator that allows to perform non-decorator based validation:
```typescript
import { isEmpty, isBoolean } from 'class-validator';
isEmpty(value);
isBoolean(value);
```
## Validation decorators
| Decorator | Description |
| ------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Common validation decorators** | |
| `@IsDefined(value: any)` | Checks if value is defined (!== undefined, !== null). This is the only decorator that ignores skipMissingProperties option. |
| `@IsOptional()` | Checks if given value is empty (=== null, === undefined) and if so, ignores all the validators on the property. |
| `@Equals(comparison: any)` | Checks if value equals ("===") comparison. |
| `@NotEquals(comparison: any)` | Checks if value not equal ("!==") comparison. |
| `@IsEmpty()` | Checks if given value is empty (=== '', === null, === undefined). |
| `@IsNotEmpty()` | Checks if given value is not empty (!== '', !== null, !== undefined). |
| `@IsIn(values: any[])` | Checks if value is in an array of allowed values. |
| `@IsNotIn(values: any[])` | Checks if value is not in an array of disallowed values. |

## Defining validation schema without decorators
Schema-based validation without decorators is no longer supported by `class-validator`. This feature was broken in version 0.12 and it will not be fixed. If you are interested in schema-based validation, you can find several such frameworks in [the zod readme's comparison section](https://github.com/colinhacks/zod#comparison).
## Validating plain objects
Due to nature of the decorators, the validated object has to be instantiated using `new Class()` syntax. If you have your class defined using class-validator decorators and you want to validate plain JS object (literal object or returned by JSON.parse), you need to transform it to the class instance via using [class-transformer](https://github.com/pleerock/class-transformer)).
## Samples
Take a look on samples in [./sample](https://github.com/pleerock/class-validator/tree/master/sample) for more examples of
usages.
## Extensions
There are several extensions that simplify class-validator integration with other modules or add additional validations:
- [class-validator integration](https://github.com/19majkel94/class-transformer-validator) with [class-transformer](https://github.com/pleerock/class-transformer)
- [class-validator-rule](https://github.com/yantrab/class-validator-rule)
- [ngx-dynamic-form-builder](https://github.com/EndyKaufman/ngx-dynamic-form-builder)
- [abarghoud/ngx-reactive-form-class-validator](https://github.com/abarghoud/ngx-reactive-form-class-validator)
- [class-validator-extended](https://github.com/pigulla/class-validator-extended)
