Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

fluent-schema

A fluent API to generate JSON schemas (draft-07) for Node.js and browser. Framework agnostic.

view on npm Build Status

Features

  • Fluent schema implements JSON Schema draft-07 standards
  • Faster and shorter way to write a JSON Schema via a fluent API
  • Runtime errors for invalid options or keywords misuse
  • Javascript constants can be used in the JSON schema (e.g. enum, const, default ) avoiding discrepancies between model and schema
  • Typescript definitions
  • Coverage 99%

Install

npm install fluent-schema --save

or

yarn add fluent-schema

Usage

const S = require('fluent-schema')

const ROLES = {
  ADMIN: 'ADMIN',
  USER: 'USER',
}

const schema = S.object()
  .id('http://foo/user')
  .title('My First Fluent JSON Schema')
  .description('A simple user')
  .prop(
    'email',
    S.string()
      .format(S.FORMATS.EMAIL)
      .required()
  )
  .prop(
    'password',
    S.string()
      .minLength(8)
      .required()
  )
  .prop(
    'role',
    S.string()
      .enum(Object.values(ROLES))
      .default(ROLES.USER)
  )
  .prop(
    'birthday',
    S.raw({ type: 'string', format: 'date', formatMaximum: '2020-01-01' }) // formatMaximum is an AJV custom keywords
  )
  .definition(
    'address',
    S.object()
      .id('#address')
      .prop('line1', S.anyOf([S.string(), S.null()])) // JSON Schema nullable
      .prop('line2', S.string().raw({ nullable: true })) // Open API / Swagger  nullable
      .prop('country', S.string())
      .prop('city', S.string())
      .prop('zipcode', S.string())
      .required(['line1', 'country', 'city', 'zipcode'])
  )
  .prop('address', S.ref('#address'))

console.log(JSON.stringify(schema.valueOf(), undefined, 2))

Schema generated:

    "address": {

      "$id": "#address",

    },
    "address": {
      "$ref": "#address"
    }
  },
  "required": ["email", "password"]
}

Typescript

with "esModuleInterop": true activated in the tsconfig.json

import S from 'fluent-schema'

const schema = S.object()
  .prop('foo', S.string())
  .prop('bar', S.number())
  .valueOf()

with "esModuleInterop": false in the tsconfig.json

import * as S from 'fluent-schema'

const schema = S.object()
  .prop('foo', S.string())
  .prop('bar', S.number())
  .valueOf()

Validation

Fluent schema doesn't validate a JSON schema. However there are many libraries that can do that for you. Below a few examples using AJV

npm install ajv --save

or

yarn add ajv

Validate an empty model

Snippet

const ajv = new Ajv({ allErrors: true })
const validate = ajv.compile(schema.valueOf())
let user = {}
let valid = validate(user)
console.log({ valid }) //=> {valid: false}
console.log(validate.errors) //=> {valid: false}

Output:

{valid: false}
errors: [
  {
    keyword: 'required',
    dataPath: '',
    schemaPath: '#/required',
    params: { missingProperty: 'email' },
    message: "should have required property 'email'",
  },
  {
    keyword: 'required',
    dataPath: '',
    schemaPath: '#/required',
    params: { missingProperty: 'password' },
    message: "should have required property 'password'",
  },
]

Validate a partially filled model

Snippet

user = { email: 'test', password: 'password' }
valid = validate(user)
console.log({ valid })
console.log(validate.errors)

Output:

{valid: false}
errors:
[ { keyword: 'format',
    dataPath: '.email',
    schemaPath: '#/properties/email/format',
    params: { format: 'email' },
    message: 'should match format "email"' } ]

Validate a model with a wrong format attribute

Snippet

user = { email: '[email protected]', password: 'password' }
valid = validate(user)
console.log({ valid })
console.log('errors:', validate.errors)

Output:

{valid: false}
errors: [ { keyword: 'required',
    dataPath: '.address',
    schemaPath: '#definitions/address/required',
    params: { missingProperty: 'country' },
    message: 'should have required property \'country\'' },
  { keyword: 'required',
    dataPath: '.address',
    schemaPath: '#definitions/address/required',
    params: { missingProperty: 'city' },
    message: 'should have required property \'city\'' },
  { keyword: 'required',
    dataPath: '.address',
    schemaPath: '#definitions/address/required',
    params: { missingProperty: 'zipcoce' },
    message: 'should have required property \'zipcode\'' } ]

Valid model

Snippet

user = { email: '[email protected]', password: 'password' }
valid = validate(user)
console.log({ valid })

Output:

{valid: true}

Extend schema

Normally inheritance with JSON Schema is achieved with allOf. However when .additionalProperties(false) is used the validator won't understand which properties come from the base schema. S.extend creates a schema merging the base into the new one so that the validator knows all the properties because it's evaluating only a single schema. For example in a CRUD API POST /users could use the userBaseSchema rather than GET /users or PATCH /users use the userSchema which contains the id, createdAt and updatedAt generated server side.

const S = require('fluent-schema')
const userBaseSchema = S.object()
  .additionalProperties(false)
  .prop('username', S.string())
  .prop('password', S.string())

const userSchema = S.object()
  .prop('id', S.string().format('uuid'))
  .prop('createdAt', S.string().format('time'))
  .prop('updatedAt', S.string().format('time'))
  .extend(userBaseSchema)

console.log(userSchema)

Selecting only certain properties of your schema

In addition to extending schemas, it is also possible to reduce them into smaller schemas. This comes in handy when you have a large Fluent Schema, and would like to re-use some of its properties.

const S = require('fluid-schema')
const userSchema = S.object()
  .prop('username', S.string())
  .prop('password', S.string())
  .prop('id', S.string().format('uuid'))
  .prop('createdAt', S.string().format('time'))
  .prop('updatedAt', S.string().format('time'))

const loginSchema = userSchema.only(['username', 'password'])

Detect Fluent Schema objects

Every Fluent Schema objects contains a boolean isFluentSchema. In this way you can write your own utilities that understands the Fluent Schema API and improve the user experience of your tool.

const S = require('fluent-schema')
const schema = S.object()
  .prop('foo', S.string())
  .prop('bar', S.number())
console.log(schema.isFluentSchema) // true
