Validation

request.validate() validates merged query and body input and returns only declared fields. Invalid input raises a ValidationException with status 422. Built-in rules include required, string, email, number, integer, boolean, min, max, in, and confirmed.

Examples

Route.post('/register', async (request, response) => {
  const data = await request.validate({
    name: ['required', 'string', 'min:2', 'max:100'],
    email: ['required', 'email'],
    password: ['required', 'string', 'min:8'],
  });

  return response.json(data, 201);
});

{
  "message": "The given data was invalid.",
  "errors": {
    "email": ["email failed the email validation rule."]
  }
}

const data = await request.validate({
  email: 'required|email',
  age: 'integer|min:18',
});
