LIVR.validator - Lightweight validator supporting Language Independent Validation Rules Specification (LIVR)
Common usage:
public class Common{
public static void main(String[] args){
Validator validator = LIVR.validator().init("{" +
"name: 'required'," +
"email: [ 'required', 'email' ]," +
"gender: { one_of : ['male', 'female'] }," +
"phone: { max_length : 10 }," +
"password: [ 'required', {min_length : 10} ]," +
"password2: { equal_to_field : 'password' }" +
"}",false);
JSONObject validData = validator.validate(userData);
if (validData!=null) {
saveUser(validData);
} else {
Logger.error('errors :' + validator.getErrors());
}
}
}You can use modifiers separately or can combine them with validation:
class Alias{
public static void main(String[] args){
Validator validator = LIVR.validator().init("{" +
"email: [ 'required', 'trim', 'email', 'to_lc' ]" +
"}",false);
}
}Feel free to register your own rules:
You can use aliases(prefferable, syntax covered by the specification) for a lot of cases:
class Alias{
public static void main(String[] args){
Validator validator = LIVR.validator().init("{"+
"password: ['required', 'strong_password']"+
"}",true);
validator.registerAliasedRule("{" +
"name: 'strong_password'," +
"rules: {min_length: 6}," +
"error: 'WEAK_PASSWORD'" +
"}");
}
}Or you can write more sophisticated rules directly:
public class CustomFunc {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Validator validator = LIVR.validator().init("{" +
"password: ['required', 'strong_password']" +
"}", true);
Map rules = new HashMap<>();
rules.put("my_trim", my_trim);
validator.registerRules(rules);
}
public static Function<List<Object>, Function> my_trim = objects -> (Function<FunctionKeeper, Object>) (wrapper) -> {
if (LIVRUtils.isNoValue(wrapper.getValue()) || wrapper.getValue().getClass() == JSONObject.class) return "";
wrapper.getFieldResultArr().add((wrapper.getValue() + "").trim());
return "";
};
}See 'LIVR Specification' for detailed documentation and list of supported rules.
Features:
- Rules are declarative and language independent
- Any number of rules for each field
- Return together errors for all fields
- Excludes all fields that do not have validation rules described
- Has possibility to validatate complex hierarchical structures
- Easy to describe and undersand rules
- Returns understandable error codes(not error messages)
- Easy to add own rules
- Rules are be able to change results output ("trim", "nested_object", for example)
- Multipurpose (user input validation, configs validation, contracts programming etc)

Contructor creates validator objects. livr - validations rules. Rules description is available here - https://github.com/koorchik/LIVR
alias - is a plain javascript object that contains: name, rules, error (optional).
public class CustomFunc {
public static void main(String[] args) {
LIVR.Validator.registerAliasedDefaultRule("{" +
" name: 'valid_address'," +
" rules: { nested_object: {" +
" country: 'required'," +
" city: 'required'," +
" zip: 'positive_integer'" +
" }}" +
"}"
);
}
}Then you can use "valid_address" for validation:
{
address: 'valid_address'
}You can register aliases with own errors:
{
name: 'adult_age'
rules: [ 'positive_integer', { min_number: 18 } ]
error: 'WRONG_AGE'
}All rules/aliases for the validator are equal. The validator does not distinguish "required", "list_of_different_objects" and "trim" rules. So, you can extend validator with any rules/alias you like.
ruleBuilder - is a function reference which will be called for building single rule validator.
class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Validator validator = new Validator();
validator.registerAliasedDefaultRule("{" +
" name: 'valid_address'," +
" rules: { nested_object: {" +
" country: 'required'," +
" city: 'required'," +
" zip: 'positive_integer'" +
" }}" +
"}"
);
validator.init();
}
}Then you can use "my_rule" for validation:
{
name1: 'my_rule' // Call without parameters
name2: { 'my_rule': arg1 } // Call with one parameter.
name3: { 'my_rule': [arg1] } // Call with one parameter.
name4: { 'my_rule': [ arg1, arg2, arg3 ] } // Call with many parameters.
}All rules for the validator are equal. The validator does not distinguish "required", "list_of_different_objects" and "trim" rules. So, you can extend validator with any rules you like.
returns object containing all default ruleBuilders for the validator. You can register new rule or update existing one with "registerRules" method.
List of usefull utils for writing your rules (see source code)
Validates user input. On success returns validData (contains only data that has described validation rules). On error return false.
class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JSONObject validaData = validator.validate(input);
if (validData!=null) {
// use validData
} else {
JSONArray errors = validator.getErrors();
}
}
}Returns errors object.
{
"field1": "ERROR_CODE",
"field2": "ERROR_CODE",
...
}For example:
{
"country": "NOT_ALLOWED_VALUE",
"zip": "NOT_POSITIVE_INTEGER",
"street": "REQUIRED",
"building": "NOT_POSITIVE_INTEGER"
}ruleBuilder - is a function reference which will be called for building single rule validator.
See "LIVR.validator().registerDefaultRules()" for rules examples.
alias - is a composite validation rule.
See "LIVR.validator().registerAliasedDefaultRule" for rules examples.
returns object containing all ruleBuilders for the validator. You can register new rule or update existing one with "registerRules" method.
