express-openapi-response-validation NPM version Downloads Build Status Coveralls Status

Express middleware for openapi response validation.

Provides a .validateResponse method to express response objects. If the method returns a value, it will be a validation error with status: 500, a message, and an optional array of errors.

Highlights

  • Performant.
  • Extensively tested.
  • Small footprint.
  • Leverages jsonschema.
  • Currently supports openapi 2.0 (a.k.a. swagger 2.0) responses objects.
  • Supports $ref in response schemas i.e. #/definitions/SomeType.

Example

See ./test/data-driven/*.js for more examples.

var app = require('express')();
var validateResponseMiddleware = require('express-openapi-response-validation')({
  responses: {
    200: {
      description: 'We found what you were looking for.',
      schema: {
        $ref: '#/definitions/ResourceResponse'
      }
    },
    default: {
      description: 'Something happened...',
      schema: {
        $ref: '#/definitions/SomeErrorResponse'
      }
    }
  },
  definitions: {
    ResourceResponse: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        id: {
          type: 'integer'
        },
        name: {
          type: 'string'
        }
      },
      required: ['id', 'name']
    },
    SomeErrorResponse: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        errorCode: {
          type: 'string'
        },
        message: {
          type: 'string'
        }
      }
    }
  }
});

app.get('/something', validateResponseMiddleware, function(req, res, next) {
  var someResource = {};
  var validationError = res.validateResponse(200, someResource);

  /*
    Validation errors look like this (except for objects in the errors array which
    may be overridden with errorTransformer):
    {
      status: 500,
      message: 'The response was not valid.',
      errors: [
        {
          path: 'foo',
          errorCode: 'type.openapi.responseValidation',
          message: 'foo is not of a type(s) string'
        }
      ]
    }
  */

  if (validationError) {
    return next(validationError);
  } else {
    res.status(200, someResource);
  }
});
