Core meteor validation package for checking data, nothing more

Installation

Validate Helper Object

This package provides two helper functions for doing validation:

Validate.check

Validate.check( validator, args... );

Provide a validator and any additional arguments that validator may require

Example:

Validate.check( VadliateIsString, 1 ) === 'Please enter a string';

Validate.chain

Validate.chain( checks... );

Provide a series of Validate.check responses, this will then merge the results of those checks into an array of messages, or true on success of all checks.

Example:

Validate.chain(
    Validate.check(ValidateIsString, 1),
    Validate.check(ValidateIsString, 1, 'my message')
) === [ "Please enter a string", "my message" ];

Validators

All validators included, and any validators you write should adhere to the following:

• Return true on success.
• Return a string with an appropriate error meessage on failure.

This package comes with 3 validatos for your convenience:

ValidateIsNumeric

ValidateIsNumeric.validate( data, optionalMessage )

ValidateIsString

ValidateIsString.validate( data, optionalMessage )

ValidateNotEmpty

ValidateNotEmpty.validate( data, optionalMessage )
