Hello I am pretty new to node.js and postman. I am having a problem when I try to send a body raw message from postman I get a TypeError in my terminal saying Joi.validate is not a function. I'm not sure what my problem is any help would be appreciated thanks in advance.
//Validation
const Joi = require('joi');
//Register Validation
const registerValidation = data => {
const schema = {
name: Joi.string()
.min(6)
.required(),
email: Joi.string()
.min(6)
.required()
.email(),
password: Joi.string()
.min(6)
.required()
};
return Joi.validate(data, schema);
};
//Login Validation
const loginValidation = data => {
const schema = {
email: Joi.string()
.min(6)
.required()
.email(),
password: Joi.string()
.min(6)
.required()
};
return Joi.validate(data, schema);
};
module.exports.registerValidation = registerValidation;
module.exports.loginValidation = loginValidation;
Validation is part of the schema you've created with Joi and not a method on the library itself.
Check the docs for it:
//Validation
const Joi = require('joi');
//Register Validation
const registerValidation = data => {
const schema = Joi.object({
name: Joi.string()
.min(6)
.required(),
email: Joi.string()
.min(6)
.required()
.email(),
password: Joi.string()
.min(6)
.required()
});
return schema.validate(data);
};
//Login Validation
const loginValidation = data => {
const schema = Joi.object({
email: Joi.string()
.min(6)
.required()
.email(),
password: Joi.string()
.min(6)
.required()
};
return schema.validate(data;
});
module.exports.registerValidation = registerValidation;
module.exports.loginValidation = loginValidation;
One thing to keep in mind is that you could define your schemas outside the arrow functions to increase performance.
