openapi-response-validator [![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![Downloads][downloads-image]][npm-url] [![Build Status][travis-image]][travis-url] [![Coveralls Status][coveralls-image]][coveralls-url]

Validate a response according to an openapi schema.

Highlights

• Performant.
• Extensively tested.
• Small footprint.
• Leverages jsonschema.
• Supports $ref in response schemas i.e. #/definitions/SomeType.

Example

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

var OpenapiResponseValidator = require('openapi-response-validator');
var instance = new OpenapiResponseValidator({
  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'
        }
      }
    }
  }
});

var someResource = {};
var validationError = instance.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'
      }
    ]
  }
