How to use enum values with Joi String validation












5















I am using Joi validator for my HTTP requests. There I have a parameter called type. I need to make sure that the possible values for the parameter are either "ios" or "android".



How can I do that?



body : {
device_key : joi.string().required(),
type : joi.string().required()
}

          You can use valid.



          const schema = Joi.object().keys({
          type: Joi.string().valid('ios', 'android'),
          });

          const myObj = { type: 'none' };
          const result = Joi.validate(myObj, schema);
          console.log(result);


          This gives an error ValidationError: child "type" fails because ["type" must be one of [ios, android]]

          You can use valid.



          const schema = Joi.object().keys({
          type: Joi.string().valid('ios', 'android'),
          });

          const myObj = { type: 'none' };
          const result = Joi.validate(myObj, schema);
          console.log(result);


          This gives an error ValidationError: child "type" fails because ["type" must be one of [ios, android]]
