Validate an Object that probably came from JSON

Parameter validation for builtins and custom types. Accepts  params and a schema and returns an array of Errors or false.

var validate = require('@smallwins/validate')

function hi(params, callback) {
  var schema = {
    'name':       {required:true,  type:Object},
    'name.first': {required:true,  type:String},
    'name.last':  {required:false, type:String}
  }
  var errors = validate(params, schema) 
  if (errors) {
    callback(errors)
  }
  else {
    callback(null, 'hi ' + params.first)
  }
}

// logs: null, hi brian
hi({name:{first:'brian', last:'leroux'}}, console.log)

// logs: [ [ReferenceError: missing required param name.first] ] 
hi({name:{}}, console.log)

considerations

• For testing an Object that presumably came from a JSON payload
• Thusly, primarily concerned with JSON value types: Object, String, Number, Array and Boolean
• Custom types are easily supported
• Extra custom types bundled: Email, ISO, DateRange and UUID
• Designed to test keys and nested keys
• Optionally validate required
• Optionally validate min and max for String, Number and Array builtin types (and easily implement for custom types / see DateRange for an example)
