| |
| ## Usage |
| |
| ```javascript |
| // ESM/TypeScript import |
| import Ajv from "ajv" |
| import addFormats from "ajv-formats" |
| // Node.js require: |
| const Ajv = require("ajv") |
| const addFormats = require("ajv-formats") |
| |
| const ajv = new Ajv() |
| addFormats(ajv) |
| ``` |
| |
| ## Formats |
| |
| The package defines these formats: |
| |
| - _date_: full-date according to [RFC3339](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339#section-5.6). |
| - _time_: time with optional time-zone. |
| - _date-time_: date-time from the same source (time-zone is mandatory). |
| - _duration_: duration from [RFC3339](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339#appendix-A) |
| - _uri_: full URI. |
| - _uri-reference_: URI reference, including full and relative URIs. |
| - _uri-template_: URI template according to [RFC6570](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6570) |
| - _url_ (deprecated): [URL record](https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-url). |
| - _email_: email address. |
| - _hostname_: host name according to [RFC1034](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1034#section-3.5). |
| - _ipv4_: IP address v4. |
| - _ipv6_: IP address v6. |
| - _regex_: tests whether a string is a valid regular expression by passing it to RegExp constructor. |
| - _uuid_: Universally Unique IDentifier according to [RFC4122](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122). |
| - _json-pointer_: JSON-pointer according to [RFC6901](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901). |
| - _relative-json-pointer_: relative JSON-pointer according to [this draft](http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-luff-relative-json-pointer-00). |
| - _byte_: base64 encoded data according to the [openApi 3.0.0 specification](https://spec.openapis.org/oas/v3.0.0#data-types) |
| - _int32_: signed 32 bits integer according to the [openApi 3.0.0 specification](https://spec.openapis.org/oas/v3.0.0#data-types) |
| - _int64_: signed 64 bits according to the [openApi 3.0.0 specification](https://spec.openapis.org/oas/v3.0.0#data-types) |
| - _float_: float according to the [openApi 3.0.0 specification](https://spec.openapis.org/oas/v3.0.0#data-types) |
| - _double_: double according to the [openApi 3.0.0 specification](https://spec.openapis.org/oas/v3.0.0#data-types) |
| - _password_: password string according to the [openApi 3.0.0 specification](https://spec.openapis.org/oas/v3.0.0#data-types) |
| - _binary_: binary string according to the [openApi 3.0.0 specification](https://spec.openapis.org/oas/v3.0.0#data-types) |
| |
| See regular expressions used for format validation and the sources that were used in [formats.ts](https://github.com/ajv-validator/ajv-formats/blob/master/src/formats.ts). |
| |
| **Please note**: JSON Schema draft-07 also defines formats `iri`, `iri-reference`, `idn-hostname` and `idn-email` for URLs, hostnames and emails with international characters. These formats are available in [ajv-formats-draft2019](https://github.com/luzlab/ajv-formats-draft2019) plugin. |
| |
| ## Keywords to compare values: `formatMaximum` / `formatMinimum` and `formatExclusiveMaximum` / `formatExclusiveMinimum` |
| |
| These keywords allow to define minimum/maximum constraints when the format keyword defines ordering (`compare` function in format definition). |
| |
| These keywords are added to ajv instance when ajv-formats is used without options or with option `keywords: true`. |
| |
| These keywords apply only to strings. If the data is not a string, the validation succeeds. |
| |
| The value of keywords `formatMaximum`/`formatMinimum` and `formatExclusiveMaximum`/`formatExclusiveMinimum` should be a string or [\$data reference](https://github.com/ajv-validator/ajv/blob/master/docs/validation.md#data-reference). This value is the maximum (minimum) allowed value for the data to be valid as determined by `format` keyword. If `format` keyword is not present schema compilation will throw exception. |
| |
| When these keyword are added, they also add comparison functions to formats `"date"`, `"time"` and `"date-time"`. User-defined formats also can have comparison functions. See [addFormat](https://github.com/ajv-validator/ajv/blob/master/docs/api.md#api-addformat) method. |
| |
| ```javascript |
| require("ajv-formats")(ajv) |
| |
| const schema = { |
| type: "string", |
| format: "date", |
| formatMinimum: "2016-02-06", |
| formatExclusiveMaximum: "2016-12-27", |
| } |
| |
| const validDataList = ["2016-02-06", "2016-12-26"] |
| |
| const invalidDataList = ["2016-02-05", "2016-12-27", "abc"] |
| ``` |
| |
| ## Options |
| |
| Options can be passed via the second parameter. Options value can be |
| |
| 1. The list of format names that will be added to ajv instance: |
| |
| ```javascript |
| addFormats(ajv, ["date", "time"]) |
| ``` |
| |
| **Please note**: when ajv encounters an undefined format it throws exception (unless ajv instance was configured with `strict: false` option). To allow specific undefined formats they have to be passed to ajv instance via `formats` option with `true` value: |
| |
| ```javascript |
| const ajv = new Ajv((formats: {date: true, time: true})) // to ignore "date" and "time" formats in schemas. |
| ``` |
| |
| 2. Format validation mode (default is `"full"`) with optional list of format names and `keywords` option to add additional format comparison keywords: |
| |
| ```javascript |
| addFormats(ajv, {mode: "fast"}) |
| ``` |
| |
| or |
| |
| ```javascript |
| addFormats(ajv, {mode: "fast", formats: ["date", "time"], keywords: true}) |
| ``` |
| |
| In `"fast"` mode the following formats are simplified: `"date"`, `"time"`, `"date-time"`, `"uri"`, `"uri-reference"`, `"email"`. For example `"date"`, `"time"` and `"date-time"` do not validate ranges in `"fast"` mode, only string structure, and other formats have simplified regular expressions. |
