Formal + Mongoose = DRY! Simple solution to define a form with validation (and more) from a mongoose schema.
var Form = require('formal-mongoose'),
model = mongoose.model('User');
var form = new Form(model, ['name.*', 'email']);
form.field({
tos: {
type: Boolean,
default: false,
validate: function(val) {
return val === true;
}
}
});
form.set({
name: {family: 'Martinez'},
'name.first': 'José Luis Chavez',
age: 12,
tos: true
});
form.validate(function (err) {
console.log(err); // missing required email, age to low
console.log(form.get('name.first.0')); // José
console.log(form.export());
});npm install formal-mongoose --save
Extend formal to provides fast and easy way to define a form from an existing schema. The best way to don't repeat yourself!
For the inherited prototype see the Formal API.
schema mongoose schema or model
fields array of strings path to import from the mongoose schema
options object of options identical to Formal
var Form = require('formal-mongoose');
var form = new Form(mongoose.model('User'), ['username', 'pasword']);For connect and express the alternative factory method can be used as a quick helper to create a new instance and return form.middleware() to monkey patch the request and response object.
app.post('/url',
// sames as (new Form({...})).middleware()
form(schema, ['username', 'password']),
function (req, res) {
console.log(req.form.data);
console.log(res.locals.form.username.value);
}
);Add a path from the schema.
Allows path to end with a wildcard * to import direct children example:
// to import name.firstname and name.lastname
form.addPath('name.*')npm test
