==========================
Validators |travisstatus|
.. |travisstatus| image:: https://secure.travis-ci.org/insin/validators.png
:target: http://travis-ci.org/insin/validators
Validators which can be shared between browsers and Node.js
, based on Django's core validators.
Validators are Functions which take a value and throw a `ValidationError` if they detect that it is invalid.
Browsers:
  • validators.js / validators.min.js

Node.js::
npm install validators
..
Node.js: http://nodejs.org/ .. Django: https://www.djangoproject.com/ .. validators.js: https://raw.github.com/insin/validators/master/validators.js .. validators.min.js: https://raw.github.com/insin/validators/master/validators.min.js
Error

`ValidationError(messages[, {code: null, params: null}])`

Validation error constructor.
For customisation purposes, in addition to a validation message, a `ValidationError may specify a code` to itentify the category of error and any `params` which were inserted into the validation message, when applicable.
For `messages`, you can pass:
  • a single message as a String
  • a list of messages
  • an object containing field-specific messages, with properties corresponding to
field names.
Utilities

`EMPTY_VALUES`

Defines input values for which a field is considered to be empty. These are:
  • `null
  • undefined
  • ''`
Validators

`RegexValidator(options)`

Creates a validator which validates that input matches a regular expression.
Options which can be passed are:
  • `regex` -- the regular expression pattern to search for the provided value,
or a pre-compiled `RegExp`. By default, matches any string (including an empty string)
  • `message -- the error message used by ValidationError` if validation
fails. Defaults to `"Enter a valid value"`.
  • `code -- the error code used by ValidationError` if validation fails.
Defaults to `"invalid"`.
  • `inverseMatch -- the match mode for regex. Defaults to false`.

`URLValidator(options)`

Creates a validator which validates that input looks like a valid URL.
Options which can be passed are:
  • `schemes` -- allowed URL schemes. Defaults to
`['http', 'https', 'ftp', 'ftps']`.

`EmailValidator(options)`

Creates a validator which validates that input looks like a valid e-mail address.
Options which can be passed are:
  • `message -- error message to be used in any generated ValidationError`.
  • `code -- error code to be used in any generated ValidationError`.
  • `whitelist` -- a whitelist of domains which are allowed to be the only thing
to the right of the `@` in a valid email address -- defaults to `['localhost']`.

`validateEmail(value)`

Validates that input looks like a valid e-mail address -- this is a preconfigured instance of an `EmailValidator`,

`validateSlug(value)`

Validates that input is a valid slug.

`validateIPv4Address(value)`

Validates that input is a valid IPv4 address.

`validateIPv6Address(value)`

Validates that input is a valid IPv6 address.

`validateIPv46Address(value)`

Validates that input is a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address.

`ipAddressValidators(protocol[, unpackIPv4])`

Returns the appropriate validator for validating IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, passing `'ipv4', 'ipv6', or 'both' as protocol`.
If a truthy `unpackIPv4 argument is given and protocol is not 'both'`, an `Error` will be thrown.

`validateCommaSeparatedIntegerList(value)`

Validates that input is a comma-separated list of integers.

`BaseValidator(limitValue)`

Base constructor for validators which compare input against a given value.

`MaxValueValidator(limitValue)`

Validates that input is less than or equal to a given value.

`MinValueValidator(limitValue)`

Validates that input is greater than or equal to a given value.

`MaxLengthValidator(limitValue)`

Validates that input is at least a given length.

`MinLengthValidator(limitValue)`

Validates that input is at most a given length.
Additional IPv6 Functions

`ipv6.isValidIPv6Address(value)`

Returns `true if input is a valid IPv6 address, false` otherwise.

`ipv6.cleanIPv6Address(value[, {errorMessage: '...', unpackIPv4: false}])`

Cleans an IPv6 address string -- replaces the longest continious zero-sequence with '::' and removes leading zeroes and makes sure all hextets are lowercase.
If an invalid address is passed, a `ValidationError` is thrown.
