Is there a way I can validate a value like this with Joi
so that I can verify it is an object with zero or more keys (of any name) and that each have values of either a string, number or boolean?
{
dynamicallyNamedKey1: 'some value',
dynamicallyNamedKey2: 4
}
You're going to want to use Joi
's object().pattern()
method. It's specifically for validating objects with unknown keys.
To match against one or more datatypes on a single key you'll need alternatives().try()
(or simply pass an array of Joi
types).
So the rule to match your needs would be:
Joi.object().pattern(/^/, Joi.alternatives().try(Joi.string(), Joi.number(), Joi.boolean()))
