# Yup Yup is a JavaScript schema builder for value parsing and validation. Define a schema, transform a value to match, validate the shape of an existing value, or both. Yup schema are extremely expressive and allow modeling complex, interdependent validations, or value transformations. Yup's API is heavily inspired by [Joi](https://github.com/hapijs/joi), but leaner and built with client-side validation as its primary use-case. Yup separates the parsing and validating functions into separate steps. `cast()` transforms data while `validate` checks that the input is the correct shape. Each can be performed together (such as HTML form validation) or seperately (such as deserializing trusted data from APIs). ## Docs - [API](#api) - [Extending yup](docs/extending.md) - [TypeScript support](docs/typescript.md) - [Playground](https://runkit.com/jquense/yup#) ## Install ```sh npm install -S yup ``` Yup always relies on the `Promise` global object to handle asynchronous values as well as `Set` and `Map`. For browsers that do not support these, you'll need to include a polyfill, such as core-js: ```js import 'core-js/es6/promise'; import 'core-js/es6/set'; import 'core-js/es6/map'; ``` ## Usage You define and create schema objects. Schema objects are immutable, so each call of a method returns a _new_ schema object. When using es module syntax, yup exports everything as a named export ```js import * as yup from 'yup'; let schema = yup.object().shape({ name: yup.string().required(), age: yup.number().required().positive().integer(), email: yup.string().email(), website: yup.string().url(), createdOn: yup.date().default(function () { return new Date(); }), }); // check validity schema .isValid({ name: 'jimmy', age: 24, }) .then(function (valid) { valid; // => true }); // you can try and type cast objects to the defined schema schema.cast({ name: 'jimmy', age: '24', createdOn: '2014-09-23T19:25:25Z', }); // => { name: 'jimmy', age: 24, createdOn: Date } ``` The exported functions are factory methods for constructing schema instances, but without the `new` keyword. If you need access to the actual schema classes, they are also exported: ```js import { BooleanSchema, DateSchema, MixedSchema, NumberSchema, ArraySchema, ObjectSchema, StringSchema, } from 'yup'; ``` > If you're looking for an easily serializable DSL for yup schema, check out [yup-ast](https://github.com/WASD-Team/yup-ast) ### Using a custom locale dictionary Allows you to customize the default messages used by Yup, when no message is provided with a validation test. If any message is missing in the custom dictionary the error message will default to Yup's one. ```js import { setLocale } from 'yup'; setLocale({ mixed: { default: 'Não é válido', }, number: { min: 'Deve ser maior que ${min}', }, }); // now use Yup schemas AFTER you defined your custom dictionary let schema = yup.object().shape({ name: yup.string(), age: yup.number().min(18), }); schema.validate({ name: 'jimmy', age: 11 }).catch(function (err) { err.name; // => 'ValidationError' err.errors; // => ['Deve ser maior que 18'] }); ``` If you need multi-language support, Yup has got you covered. The function `setLocale` accepts functions that can be used to generate error objects with translation keys and values. Just get this output and feed it into your favorite i18n library. ```js import { setLocale } from 'yup'; setLocale({ // use constant translation keys for messages without values mixed: { default: 'field_invalid', }, // use functions to generate an error object that includes the value from the schema number: { min: ({ min }) => ({ key: 'field_too_short', values: { min } }), max: ({ max }) => ({ key: 'field_too_big', values: { max } }), }, }); // now use Yup schemas AFTER you defined your custom dictionary let schema = yup.object().shape({ name: yup.string(), age: yup.number().min(18), }); schema.validate({ name: 'jimmy', age: 11 }).catch(function (err) { err.name; // => 'ValidationError' err.errors; // => [{ key: 'field_too_short', values: { min: 18 } }] }); ``` ## API -

For nested schemas that need to resolve dynamically, you can provide a `value` and optionally a `context` object. ```js let schema = object().shape({ nested: object().shape({ arr: array().of(object().shape({ num: number().max(4) })), }), }); reach(schema, 'nested.arr.num'); reach(schema, 'nested.arr[].num'); reach(schema, 'nested.arr[1].num'); reach(schema, 'nested["arr"][1].num'); ``` #### `yup.addMethod(schemaType: Schema, name: string, method: ()=> Schema): void` Adds a new method to the core schema types. A friendlier convenience method for `schemaType.prototype[name] = method`. ```js yup.addMethod(yup.date, 'format', function (formats, parseStrict) { return this.transform(function (value, originalValue) { if (this.isType(value)) return value; value = Moment(originalValue, formats, parseStrict); return value.isValid() ? value.toDate() : new Date(''); }); }); ``` #### `yup.ref(path: string, options: { contextPrefix: string }): Ref` Creates a reference to another sibling or sibling descendant field. Refs are resolved at _validation/cast time_ and supported where specified. Refs are evaluated in the proper order so that the ref value is resolved before the field using the ref (be careful of circular dependencies!). ```js let schema = object({ baz: ref('foo.bar'), foo: object({ bar: string(), }), x: ref('$x'), }); schema.cast({ foo: { bar: 'boom' } }, { context: { x: 5 } }); // => { baz: 'boom', x: 5, foo: { bar: 'boom' } } ``` #### `yup.lazy((value: any) => Schema): Lazy` Creates a schema that is evaluated at validation/cast time. Useful for creating recursive schema like Trees, for polymorphic fields and arrays. **CAUTION!** When defining parent-child recursive object schema, you want to reset the `default()` to `undefined` on the child—otherwise the object will infinitely nest itself when you cast it! ```js let node = object({ id: number(), child: yup.lazy(() => node.default(undefined)), }); let renderable = yup.lazy((value) => { switch (typeof value) { case 'number': return number(); case 'string': return string(); default: return mixed(); } }); let renderables = array().of(renderable); ``` #### `ValidationError(errors: string | Array, value: any, path: string)` Thrown on failed validations, with the following properties - `name`: "ValidationError" - `path`: a string, indicating where there error was thrown. `path` is empty at the root level. - `errors`: array of error messages - `inner`: in the case of aggregate errors, inner is an array of `ValidationErrors` throw earlier in the validation chain. When the `abortEarly` option is `false` this is where you can inspect each error thrown, alternatively, `errors` will have all of the messages from each inner error. ### mixed Creates a schema that matches all types. All types inherit from this base type ```js let schema = yup.mixed(); schema.isValid(undefined, function (valid) { valid; // => true }); ``` #### `mixed.clone(): Schema` Creates a deep copy of the schema. Clone is used internally to return a new schema with every schema state change. #### `mixed.label(label: string): Schema` Overrides the key name which is used in error messages. #### `mixed.meta(metadata: object): Schema` Adds to a metadata object, useful for storing data with a schema, that doesn't belong the cast object itself. #### `mixed.describe(): SchemaDescription` Collects schema details (like meta, labels, and active tests) into a serializable description object. ``` SchemaDescription { type: string, label: string, meta: object, tests: Array<{ name: string, params: object }> } ``` #### `mixed.concat(schema: Schema): Schema` Creates a new instance of the schema by combining two schemas. Only schemas of the same type can be concatenated. #### `mixed.validate(value: any, options?: object): Promise` Returns the value (a cast value if `isStrict` is `false`) if the value is valid, and returns the errors otherwise. This method is **asynchronous** and returns a Promise object, that is fulfilled with the value, or rejected with a `ValidationError`. The `options` argument is an object hash containing any schema options you may want to override (or specify for the first time). ```js Options = { strict: boolean = false; abortEarly: boolean = true; stripUnknown: boolean = false; recursive: boolean = true; context?: object; } ``` - `strict`: only validate the input, and skip any coercion or transformation - `abortEarly`: return from validation methods on the first error rather than after all validations run. - `stripUnknown`: remove unspecified keys from objects. - `recursive`: when `false` validations will not descend into nested schema (relevant for objects or arrays). - `context`: any context needed for validating schema conditions (see: [`when()`](#mixedwhenkeys-string--arraystring-builder-object--value-schema-schema-schema)) ```js schema.validate({ name: 'jimmy', age: 24 }).then(function (value) { value; // => { name: 'jimmy',age: 24 } }); schema.validate({ name: 'jimmy', age: 'hi' }).catch(function (err) { err.name; // => 'ValidationError' err.errors; // => ['age must be a number'] }); ``` #### `mixed.validateSync(value: any, options?: object): any` Runs validatations synchronously _if possible_ and returns the resulting value, or throws a ValidationError. Accepts all the same options as `validate`. Synchronous validation only works if there are no configured async tests, e.g tests that return a Promise. For instance this will work: ```js let schema = number().test( 'is-42', "this isn't the number i want", (value) => value != 42, ); schema.validateSync(23); // throws ValidationError ``` however this will not: ```js let schema = number().test('is-42', "this isn't the number i want", (value) => Promise.resolve(value != 42), ); schema.validateSync(42); // throws Error ``` #### `mixed.validateAt(path: string, value: any, options?: object): Promise` Validate a deeply nested path within the schema. Similar to how `reach` works, but uses the resulting schema as the subject for validation. > Note! The `value` here is the _root_ value relative to the starting schema, not the value at the nested path. ```js let schema = object({ foo: array().of( object({ loose: boolean(), bar: string().when('loose', { is: true, otherwise: (s) => s.strict(), }), }), ), }); let rootValue = { foo: [{ bar: 1 }, { bar: 1, loose: true }], }; await schema.validateAt('foo[0].bar', rootValue); // => ValidationError: must be a string await schema.validateAt('foo[1].bar', rootValue); // => '1' ``` #### `mixed.validateSyncAt(path: string, value: any, options?: object): any` Same as `validateAt` but synchronous. #### `mixed.isValid(value: any, options?: object): Promise` Returns `true` when the passed in value matches the schema. `isValid` is **asynchronous** and returns a Promise object. Takes the same options as `validate()`. #### `mixed.isValidSync(value: any, options?: object): boolean` Synchronously returns `true` when the passed in value matches the schema. Takes the same options as `validateSync()` and has the same caveats around async tests. #### `mixed.cast(value: any, options = {}): any` Attempts to coerce the passed in value to a value that matches the schema. For example: `'5'` will cast to `5` when using the `number()` type. Failed casts generally return `null`, but may also return results like `NaN` and unexpected strings. `options` parameter can be an object containing `context`. (For more info on `context` see `mixed.validate`) #### `mixed.isType(value: any): boolean` Runs a type check against the passed in `value`. It returns true if it matches, it does not cast the value. When `nullable()` is set `null` is considered a valid value of the type. You should use `isType` for all Schema type checks. #### `mixed.strict(isStrict: boolean = false): Schema` Sets the `strict` option to `true`. Strict schemas skip coercion and transformation attempts, validating the value "as is". #### `mixed.strip(stripField: boolean = true): Schema` Marks a schema to be removed from an output object. Only works as a nested schema. ```js let schema = object({ useThis: number(), notThis: string().strip(), }); schema.cast({ notThis: 'foo', useThis: 4 }); // => { useThis: 4 } ``` #### `mixed.withMutation(builder: (current: Schema) => void): void` First the legally required Rich Hickey quote: > If a tree falls in the woods, does it make a sound? > > If a pure function mutates some local data in order to produce an immutable return value, is that ok? `withMutation` allows you to mutate the schema in place, instead of the default behavior which clones before each change. Generally this isn't necessary since the vast majority of schema changes happen during the initial declaration, and only happen once over the lifetime of the schema, so performance isn't an issue. However certain mutations _do_ occur at cast/validation time, (such as conditional schema using [`when()`](#mixedwhenkeys-string--arraystring-builder-object--value-schema-schema-schema)), or when instantiating a schema object. ```js object() .shape({ key: string() }) .withMutation((schema) => { return arrayOfObjectTests.forEach((test) => { schema.test(test); }); }); ``` #### `mixed.default(value: any): Schema` Sets a default value to use when the value is `undefined`. Defaults are created after transformations are executed, but before validations, to help ensure that safe defaults are specified. The default value will be cloned on each use, which can incur performance penalty for objects and arrays. To avoid this overhead you can also pass a function that returns a new default. Note that `null` is considered a separate non-empty value. ```js yup.string.default('nothing'); yup.object.default({ number: 5 }); // object will be cloned every time a default is needed yup.object.default(() => ({ number: 5 })); // this is cheaper yup.date.default(() => new Date()); // also helpful for defaults that change over time ``` #### `mixed.getDefault(options?: object): Any` Retrieve a previously set default value. `getDefault` will resolve any conditions that may alter the default. Optionally pass `options` with `context` (for more info on `context` see `mixed.validate`). #### `mixed.nullable(isNullable: boolean = true): Schema` Indicates that `null` is a valid value for the schema. Without `nullable()` `null` is treated as a different type and will fail `isType()` checks. #### `mixed.required(message?: string | function): Schema` Mark the schema as required, which will not allow `undefined` or `null` as a value. Note that unless a schema is marked as `nullable()` a `null` value is treated as a type error, not a missing value. Mark a schema as `mixed().nullable().required()` treat `null` as missing. > Watch out! [`string().required`](#stringrequiredmessage-string--function-schema)) works a little > different and additionally prevents empty string values (`''`) when required. #### `mixed.notRequired(): Schema` Alias: `optional()` Mark the schema as not required. Passing `undefined` (or `null` for nullable schema) as value will not fail validation. #### `mixed.defined(): Schema` Require a value for the schema. All field values apart from `undefined` meet this requirement. #### `mixed.typeError(message: string): Schema` Define an error message for failed type checks. The `${value}` and `${type}` interpolation can be used in the `message` argument. #### `mixed.oneOf(arrayOfValues: Array, message?: string | function): Schema` Alias: `equals` Whitelist a set of values. Values added are automatically removed from any blacklist if they are in it. The `${values}` interpolation can be used in the `message` argument. If a ref or refs are provided, the `${resolved}` interpolation can be used in the message argument to get the resolved values that were checked at validation time. Note that `undefined` does not fail this validator, even when `undefined` is not included in `arrayOfValues`. If you don't want `undefined` to be a valid value, you can use `mixed.required`. ```js let schema = yup.mixed().oneOf(['jimmy', 42]); await schema.isValid(42); // => true await schema.isValid('jimmy'); // => true await schema.isValid(new Date()); // => false ``` #### `mixed.notOneOf(arrayOfValues: Array, message?: string | function)` Blacklist a set of values. Values added are automatically removed from any whitelist if they are in it. The `${values}` interpolation can be used in the `message` argument. If a ref or refs are provided, the `${resolved}` interpolation can be used in the message argument to get the resolved values that were checked at validation time. ```js let schema = yup.mixed().notOneOf(['jimmy', 42]); await schema.isValid(42); // => false await schema.isValid(new Date()); // => true ``` #### `mixed.when(keys: string | Array, builder: object | (value, schema)=> Schema): Schema` Adjust the schema based on a sibling or sibling children fields. You can provide an object literal where the key `is` is value or a matcher function, `then` provides the true schema and/or `otherwise` for the failure condition. `is` conditions are strictly compared (`===`) if you want to use a different form of equality you can provide a function like: `is: (value) => value == true`. Like joi you can also prefix properties with `$` to specify a property that is dependent on `context` passed in by `validate()` or `isValid`. `when` conditions are additive. ```js let schema = object({ isBig: boolean(), count: number() .when('isBig', { is: true, // alternatively: (val) => val == true then: yup.number().min(5), otherwise: yup.number().min(0), }) .when('$other', (other, schema) => (other === 4 ? schema.max(6) : schema)), }); await schema.validate(value, { context: { other: 4 } }); ``` You can also specify more than one dependent key, in which case each value will be spread as an argument. ```js let schema = object({ isSpecial: boolean(), isBig: boolean(), count: number().when(['isBig', 'isSpecial'], { is: true, // alternatively: (isBig, isSpecial) => isBig && isSpecial then: yup.number().min(5), otherwise: yup.number().min(0), }), }); await schema.validate({ isBig: true, isSpecial: true, count: 10, }); ``` Alternatively you can provide a function that returns a schema (called with the value of the key and the current schema). ```js let schema = yup.object({ isBig: yup.boolean(), count: yup.number().when('isBig', (isBig, schema) => { return isBig ? schema.min(5) : schema.min(0); }), }); await schema.validate({ isBig: false, count: 4 }); ``` #### `mixed.test(name: string, message: string | function, test: function): Schema` Adds a test function to the validation chain. Tests are run after any object is cast. Many types have some tests built in, but you can create custom ones easily. In order to allow asynchronous custom validations _all_ (or no) tests are run asynchronously. A consequence of this is that test execution order cannot be guaranteed. All tests must provide a `name`, an error `message` and a validation function that must return `true` when the current `value` is valid and `false` or a `ValidationError` otherwise. To make a test async return a promise that resolves `true` or `false` or a `ValidationError`. For the `message` argument you can provide a string which will interpolate certain values if specified using the `${param}` syntax. By default all test messages are passed a `path` value which is valuable in nested schemas. The `test` function is called with the current `value`. For more advanced validations you can use the alternate signature to provide more options (see below): ```js let jimmySchema = string().test( 'is-jimmy', '${path} is not Jimmy', (value, context) => value === 'jimmy', ); // or make it async by returning a promise let asyncJimmySchema = string().test( 'is-jimmy', '${path} is not Jimmy', async (value, testContext) => (await fetch('/is-jimmy/' + value)).responseText === 'true', }); await schema.isValid('jimmy'); // => true await schema.isValid('john'); // => false ``` Test functions are called with a special context value, as the second argument, that exposes some useful metadata and functions. For non arrow functions, the test context is also set as the function `this`. Watch out, if you access it via `this` it won't work in an arrow function. - `testContext.path`: the string path of the current validation - `testContext.schema`: the resolved schema object that the test is running against. - `testContext.options`: the `options` object that validate() or isValid() was called with - `testContext.parent`: in the case of nested schema, this is the value of the parent object - `testContext.originalValue`: the original value that is being tested - `testContext.createError(Object: { path: String, message: String, params: Object })`: create and return a validation error. Useful for dynamically setting the `path`, `params`, or more likely, the error `message`. If either option is omitted it will use the current path, or default message. #### `mixed.test(options: object): Schema` Alternative `test(..)` signature. `options` is an object containing some of the following options: ```js Options = { // unique name identifying the test name: string; // test function, determines schema validity test: (value: any) => boolean; // the validation error message message: string; // values passed to message for interpolation params: ?object; // mark the test as exclusive, meaning only one of the same can be active at once exclusive: boolean = false; } ``` In the case of mixing exclusive and non-exclusive tests the following logic is used. If a non-exclusive test is added to a schema with an exclusive test of the same name the exclusive test is removed and further tests of the same name will be stacked. If an exclusive test is added to a schema with non-exclusive tests of the same name the previous tests are removed and further tests of the same name will replace each other. ```js let max = 64; let schema = yup.mixed().test({ name: 'max', exclusive: true, params: { max }, message: '${path} must be less than ${max} characters', test: (value) => value == null || value.length <= max, }); ``` #### `mixed.transform((currentValue: any, originalValue: any) => any): Schema` Adds a transformation to the transform chain. Transformations are central to the casting process, default transforms for each type coerce values to the specific type (as verified by [`isType()`](mixedistypevalue)). transforms are run before validations and only applied when the schema is not marked as `strict` (the default). Some types have built in transformations. Transformations are useful for arbitrarily altering how the object is cast, **however, you should take care not to mutate the passed in value.** Transforms are run sequentially so each `value` represents the current state of the cast, you can use the `originalValue` param if you need to work on the raw initial value. ```js let schema = string().transform(function (value, originalvalue) { return this.isType(value) && value !== null ? value.toUpperCase() : value; }); schema.cast('jimmy'); // => 'JIMMY' ``` Each types will handle basic coercion of values to the proper type for you, but occasionally you may want to adjust or refine the default behavior. For example, if you wanted to use a different date parsing strategy than the default one you could do that with a transform. ```js module.exports = function (formats = 'MMM dd, yyyy') { return date().transform(function (value, originalValue) { // check to see if the previous transform already parsed the date if (this.isType(value)) return value; // the default coercion failed so let's try it with Moment.js instead value = Moment(originalValue, formats); // if it's valid return the date object, otherwise return an `InvalidDate` return value.isValid() ? value.toDate() : new Date(''); }); }; ``` ### string Define a string schema. Supports all the same methods as [`mixed`](#mixed). ```js let schema = yup.string(); await schema.isValid('hello'); // => true ``` By default, the `cast` logic of `string` is to call `toString` on the value if it exists. empty values are not coerced (use `ensure()` to coerce empty values to empty strings). Failed casts return the input value. #### `string.required(message?: string | function): Schema` The same as the `mixed()` schema required, **except** that empty strings are also considered 'missing' values. #### `string.length(limit: number | Ref, message?: string | function): Schema` Set a required length for the string value. The `${length}` interpolation can be used in the `message` argument #### `string.min(limit: number | Ref, message?: string | function): Schema` Set a minimum length limit for the string value. The `${min}` interpolation can be used in the `message` argument #### `string.max(limit: number | Ref, message?: string | function): Schema` Set a maximum length limit for the string value. The `${max}` interpolation can be used in the `message` argument #### `string.matches(regex: Regex, message?: string | function): Schema` Provide an arbitrary `regex` to match the value against. ```js let schema = string().matches(/(hi|bye)/); await schema.isValid('hi'); // => true await schema.isValid('nope'); // => false ``` #### `string.matches(regex: Regex, options: { message: string, excludeEmptyString: bool }): Schema` An alternate signature for `string.matches` with an options object. `excludeEmptyString`, when true, short circuits the regex test when the value is an empty string ```js let schema = string().matches(/(hi|bye)/, { excludeEmptyString: true }); await schema.isValid(''); // => true ``` #### `string.email(message?: string | function): Schema` Validates the value as an email address via a regex. #### `string.url(message?: string | function): Schema` Validates the value as a valid URL via a regex. #### `string.uuid(message?: string | function): Schema` Validates the value as a valid UUID via a regex. #### `string.ensure(): Schema` Transforms `undefined` and `null` values to an empty string along with setting the `default` to an empty string. #### `string.trim(message?: string | function): Schema` Transforms string values by removing leading and trailing whitespace. If `strict()` is set it will only validate that the value is trimmed. #### `string.lowercase(message?: string | function): Schema` Transforms the string value to lowercase. If `strict()` is set it will only validate that the value is lowercase. #### `string.uppercase(message?: string | function): Schema` Transforms the string value to uppercase. If `strict()` is set it will only validate that the value is uppercase. ### number Define a number schema. Supports all the same methods as [`mixed`](#mixed). ```js let schema = yup.number(); await schema.isValid(10); // => true ``` The default `cast` logic of `number` is: [`parseFloat`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/parseFloat). Failed casts return `NaN`. #### `number.min(limit: number | Ref, message?: string | function): Schema` Set the minimum value allowed. The `${min}` interpolation can be used in the `message` argument. #### `number.max(limit: number | Ref, message?: string | function): Schema` Set the maximum value allowed. The `${max}` interpolation can be used in the `message` argument. #### `number.lessThan(max: number | Ref, message?: string | function): Schema` Value must be less than `max`. The `${less}` interpolation can be used in the `message` argument. #### `number.moreThan(min: number | Ref, message?: string | function): Schema` Value must be strictly greater than `min`. The `${more}` interpolation can be used in the `message` argument. #### `number.positive(message?: string | function): Schema` Value must be a positive number. #### `number.negative(message?: string | function): Schema` Value must be a negative number. #### `number.integer(message?: string | function): Schema` Validates that a number is an integer. #### `number.truncate(): Schema` Transformation that coerces the value to an integer by stripping off the digits to the right of the decimal point. #### `number.round(type: 'floor' | 'ceil' | 'trunc' | 'round' = 'round'): Schema` Adjusts the value via the specified method of `Math` (defaults to 'round'). ### boolean Define a boolean schema. Supports all the same methods as [`mixed`](#mixed). ```js let schema = yup.boolean(); await schema.isValid(true); // => true ``` ### date Define a Date schema. By default ISO date strings will parse correctly, for more robust parsing options see the extending schema types at the end of the readme. Supports all the same methods as [`mixed`](#mixed). ```js let schema = yup.date(); await schema.isValid(new Date()); // => true ``` The default `cast` logic of `date` is pass the value to the `Date` constructor, failing that, it will attempt to parse the date as an ISO date string. Failed casts return an invalid Date. #### `date.min(limit: Date | string | Ref, message?: string | function): Schema` Set the minimum date allowed. When a string is provided it will attempt to cast to a date first and use the result as the limit. #### `date.max(limit: Date | string | Ref, message?: string | function): Schema` Set the maximum date allowed, When a string is provided it will attempt to cast to a date first and use the result as the limit. ### array Define an array schema. Arrays can be typed or not, When specifying the element type, `cast` and `isValid` will apply to the elements as well. Options passed into `isValid` are passed also passed to child schemas. Supports all the same methods as [`mixed`](#mixed). ```js let schema = yup.array().of(yup.number().min(2)); await schema.isValid([2, 3]); // => true await schema.isValid([1, -24]); // => false schema.cast(['2', '3']); // => [2, 3] ``` You can also pass a subtype schema to the array constructor as a convenience. ```js array().of(yup.number()); // or array(yup.number()); ``` The default `cast` behavior for `array` is: [`JSON.parse`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/parse) Failed casts return: `null`; #### `array.of(type: Schema): Schema` Specify the schema of array elements. `of()` is optional and when omitted the array schema will not validate its contents. #### `array.length(length: number | Ref, message?: string | function): Schema` Set a specific length requirement for the array. The `${length}` interpolation can be used in the `message` argument. #### `array.min(limit: number | Ref, message?: string | function): Schema` Set a minimum length limit for the array. The `${min}` interpolation can be used in the `message` argument. #### `array.max(limit: number | Ref, message?: string | function): Schema` Set a maximum length limit for the array. The `${max}` interpolation can be used in the `message` argument. #### `array.ensure(): Schema` Ensures that the value is an array, by setting the default to `[]` and transforming `null` and `undefined` values to an empty array as well. Any non-empty, non-array value will be wrapped in an array. ```js array().ensure().cast(null); // => [] array().ensure().cast(1); // => [1] array().ensure().cast([1]); // => [1] ``` #### `array.compact(rejector: (value) => boolean): Schema` Removes falsey values from the array. Providing a rejecter function lets you specify the rejection criteria yourself. ```js array().compact().cast(['', 1, 0, 4, false, null]); // => [1, 4] array() .compact(function (v) { return v == null; }) .cast(['', 1, 0, 4, false, null]); // => ['', 1, 0, 4, false] ``` ### object Define an object schema. Options passed into `isValid` are also passed to child schemas. Supports all the same methods as [`mixed`](#mixed). ```js yup.object().shape({ name: string().required(), age: number().required().positive().integer(), email: string().email(), website: string().url(), }); ``` You can also pass a shape to the object constructor as a convenience. ```js object().shape({ num: number(), }); // or object({ num: number(), }); ``` The default `cast` behavior for `object` is: [`JSON.parse`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/parse) Failed casts return: `null`; #### Object schema defaults Object schema come with a default value already set, which "builds" out the object shape, a sets any defaults for fields: ```js const schema = object({ name: string().default(''), }); schema.default(); // -> { name: '' } ``` This may be a bit suprising, but is generally very helpful since it allows large, nested schema to create default values that fill out the whole shape and not just the root object. There is one gotcha! though. For nested object schema that are optional but include non optional fields may fail in unexpected ways: ```js const schema = object({ id: string().required(), names: object({ first: string().required(), }), }); schema.isValid({ id: 1 }); // false! names.first is required ``` This is because yup casts the input object before running validation which will produce: > `{ id: '1', names: { first: undefined }}` During the validation phase `names` exists, and is validated, finding `names.first` missing. If you wish to avoid this behavior do one of the following: - Set the nested default to undefined: `names.default(undefined)` - mark it nullable and default to null: `names.nullable().default(null)` #### `object.shape(fields: object, noSortEdges?: Array<[string, string]>): Schema` Define the keys of the object and the schemas for said keys. Note that you can chain `shape` method, which acts like object extends, for example: ```js object({ a: string(), b: number(), }).shape({ b: string(), c: number(), }); ``` would be exactly the same as: ```js object({ a: string(), b: string(), c: number(), }); ``` #### `object.pick(keys: string[]): Schema` Create a new schema from a subset of the original's fields. ```js const person = object({ age: number().default(30).required(), name: string().default('pat').required(), color: string().default('red').required(), }); const nameAndAge = person.pick(['name', 'age']); nameAndAge.getDefault(); // => { age: 30, name: 'pat'} ``` #### `object.omit(keys: string[]): Schema` Create a new schema with fields omitted. ```js const person = object({ age: number().default(30).required(), name: string().default('pat').required(), color: string().default('red').required(), }); const nameAndAge = person.omit(['color']); nameAndAge.getDefault(); // => { age: 30, name: 'pat'} ``` #### `object.getDefaultFromShape(): Record` Produces a default object value by walking the object shape and calling `default()` on each field. This is the default behavior of `getDefault()` but allows for building out an object skeleton regardless of the default(). #### `object.from(fromKey: string, toKey: string, alias: boolean = false): this` Transforms the specified key to a new key. If `alias` is `true` then the old key will be left. ```js let schema = object({ myProp: mixed(), Other: mixed(), }) .from('prop', 'myProp') .from('other', 'Other', true); schema.cast({ prop: 5, other: 6 }); // => { myProp: 5, other: 6, Other: 6 } ``` #### `object.noUnknown(onlyKnownKeys: boolean = true, message?: string | function): Schema` Validate that the object value only contains keys specified in `shape`, pass `false` as the first argument to disable the check. Restricting keys to known, also enables `stripUnknown` option, when not in strict mode. #### `object.camelCase(): Schema` Transforms all object keys to camelCase #### `object.constantCase(): Schema` Transforms all object keys to CONSTANT_CASE.
