string
Validates the property to be a valid string.
import { schema } from '@ioc:Adonis/Core/Validator'
{
title: schema.string()
}
Mark as optional
You can mark the property to be optional by chaining the optional
method. The undefined
and the null
values are considered optional and removed from the validated object.
{
title: schema.string.optional()
}
Mark as nullable
You can mark the property to be nullable by chaining the nullable
method. The nullable
fields must exist in the payload but can contain null values.
{
title: schema.string.nullable()
}
Mark as nullable and optional
Mark the property both as nullable
and optional
. If the field value is undefined, it will be removed from the validated object. Otherwise, the validated value (including null) is returned.
{
title: schema.string.nullableAndOptional()
}
Define additional rules
You can define an array of additional rules as the second parameter.
import { schema, rules } from '@ioc:Adonis/Core/Validator'
{
title: schema.string([
rules.alpha(),
rules.minLength(10),
rules.maxLength(200),
rules.trim(),
rules.escape(),
])
}
