object

Creates an object schema.

const Schema = v.object<TEntries, TMessage>(entries, message);

Generics

Parameters

  • entries TEntries
  • message TMessage

Explanation

With object you can validate the data type of the input and whether the content matches entries. If the input is not an object, you can use message to customize the error message.

This schema removes unknown entries. The output will only include the entries you specify. To include unknown entries, use looseObject. To return an issue for unknown entries, use strictObject. To include and validate unknown entries, use objectWithRest.

This schema does not distinguish between missing and undefined entries. The reason for this decision is that it reduces the bundle size, and we also expect that most users will expect this behavior.

Returns

Examples

The following examples show how object can be used. Please see the object guide for more examples and explanations.

Simple object schema

Schema to validate an object with two keys.

const SimpleObjectSchema = v.object({
  key1: v.string(),
  key2: v.number(),
});

Merge several objects

Schema that merges the entries of two object schemas.

const MergedObjectSchema = v.object({
  ...ObjectSchema1.entries,
  ...ObjectSchema2.entries,
});

Mark keys as optional

Schema to validate an object with partial entries.

const PartialObjectSchema = v.partial(
  v.object({
    key1: v.string(),
    key2: v.number(),
  })
);

Object with selected entries

Schema to validate only selected entries of an object.

const PickObjectSchema = v.pick(
  v.object({
    key1: v.string(),
    key2: v.number(),
    key3: v.boolean(),
  }),
  ['key1', 'key3']
);
