I'm using joi@^17.4.0 and have a schema that looks like this:
settings: Joi.object({
isHidden: Joi.boolean(),
payoutData: Joi.object({
email: Joi.string().email(),
}),
}),
I would like to input the string 'settings.isHidden' or 'settings.payoutData.email' without hard coding each of these strings in the schema. Is there a way that I can make joi know that these strings are valid based on the object schema I already have? Currently, when I try to validate these strings I get a validation error that says those keys are not allowed.
Example object to validate:
{ 'settings.isHidden': false }
Your Joi schema:
settings: Joi.object({
isHidden: Joi.boolean(),
payoutData: Joi.object({
email: Joi.string().email(),
}),
}),
says that settings (presumably a property of an object) is an object that has two properties:
isHidden, a boolean, andpayoutData, an object with the property email, a stringYour example object
{ 'settings.isHidden': false }
is an object with a single property settings.isHidden and it so fails validation.
Ergo, your object fails validation against the schema.
