RawModel.js

Strongly-typed JavaScript object with support for validation and error handling.

This is a lightweight open source package for the server and browser (using module bundler) written with TypeScript. It's actively maintained, well tested and already used in production environments. The source code is available on GitHub where you can also find our issue tracker.

Introduction

RawModel provides a mechanism for creating strongly-typed data objects with built-in logic for unified data validation and error handling. It has a simple and intuitive API and tends to be a powerful, magic-free, minimalistic and unopinionated framework for writing application data layers where you have a full control. It could be a perfect fit when writing an Express.js action, GraphQL resolver or similar and it's easily extendable.
It provides two core classes:

Model represents strongly-typed data object with properties.
Field represents model's property.

Both classes can be used independently but most likely you will use only the Model class.

We will be using TypeScript for code examples for the rest of the docs. If you haven't picked it up, you should!

Installation

Run the command below to install the package.

npm install --save rawmodel

This package uses promises thus you need to use Promise polyfill when promises are not supported.

Example

The code below shows a basic usage example.

import { Model } from 'rawmodel';

// defining a basic model
class User extends Model {
  public name: string;

  public constructor(data = {}) {
    super(data);
    this.defineField('name');
    this.populate(data);
  }
}

// usage example
const model = new User({
  'name': 'John Smith'
});
model.name; // => 'John Smith'

Examples are available inside the ./example folder. You should also check the links below:

RawModel & ExpressJS: Using RawModel in ExpressJS actions to validate input data and handling data-related errors.

Usage

Below we explain some of the most important features that this package provides. You should check the API section to see a complete list of features.

Defining Fields

Model fields are defined using the defineField method. The code below is an example of a basic model class with a name field of type Any.

import { Model } from 'rawmodel';

class User extends Model {
  public name: string; // typescript property definition for field `name`

  public constructor(data = {}) {
    super(data);
    this.defineField('name'); // definition of the `name` field
  }
}

const user = new User();
user.name = 'John Smith';
user.name; // -> "John Smith"

Type Casting

Each field has a built-in system for type casting, thus we can force a value to be automatically converted to a specific type when setting a value.

this.defineField('name', {
  type: 'String', // automatically cast value to `String`
});

Common types are supported by default. A Model also represents a type. You can define your own types using the defineType method. Please see the API section for a list of all supported types and further details.

Nested Models

As mentioned above, a model also represents a type object. This way you can create complex nested structures by nesting models as shown in the example below.

import { Model } from 'rawmodel';

class Book extends Model {
  public title: string;

  public constructor(data = {}) {
    super(data);
    this.defineField('title');
  }
}

class User extends Model {
  public book: Book;

  public constructor(data = {}) {
    super(data);
    this.defineField('book', {
      type: Book,
    });
  }
}

Field Default Value

We can set a defaultValue for each field which will automatically populate a field on creation.
The defaultValue can also be a method which returns a dynamic value. This function shares the context of a field instance thus you have access to all the features of the Field class.

this.defineField('name', {
  defaultValue () { return this.value },
});

Field Fake Value

Similar to default values, we can set a fakeValue for each field, to populate a field with fake data when calling the fake() method.
The fakeValue can also be a method which returns a dynamic value. This function shares the context of a field instance, thus you have access to all the features of the Field class.

this.defineField('name', {
  fakeValue () { return this.value },
});

Field Null Value

By default, all defined fields are set to null. Similar to default and fake value we can set a nullValue option for each field, to automatically replace null values.
The nullValue can also be a method which returns a dynamic value. Note that this function shares the context of a field instance, thus you have access to all the features of the Field class.

this.defineField('name', {
  nullValue () { return '' }, // replace `null` value
});

Field Value Transformation

A field can have a custom getter and a custom setter. These methods all share the context of a field instance, thus you have access to all the features of the Field class.

this.defineField('name', {
  get (value) { return value },
  set (value) { return value },
});

Value Assignments

Model's fields are like properties of a Javascript Object. We can easily assign a value to a field through its setter method (e.g. model.name = 'value';). Instead of assigning fields one by one, we can use the populate() method as shown below.

this.populate({
  'name': 'John Smith',
  'age': 35,
});

We can allow only selected fields to be populated by using population strategies (e.g. when populating received form data).

class User extends Model {
  public id: string;
  public name: string;

  public constructor(data = {}) {
    super(data);
    this.defineField('id', {
      populatable: ['internal'], // list population strategy names
    });
    this.defineField('name', {
      populatable: ['input', 'internal'], // list population strategy names
    });
  }
}

const data = {
  'id': 100,
  'name': 'John Smith'
};
const user = new User();
user.populate(data); // -> { "id": 100, "name": "John Smith" }
user.populate(data, 'internal'); // -> { "id": 100, "name": "John Smith" }
user.serialize(data, 'input'); // -> { id: null, "name": "John Smith" }

Serialization & Filtering

Model provides useful methods for object serialization and filtering (check the API for more methods).

const user = new User({
  'name': 'John Smith', // initial value
});

user.scroll(function (field) { // argument is an instance of a field
  // do something useful
}).then((count) => { // number of processed fields
  user.serialize(); // -> { "name": "John Smith" }
});

Fields are serializable by default and are thus included in the result object returned by the serialize() method. We can customize the output and include or exclude fields for different occasions by using serialization strategies.

class User extends Model {
  public id: string;
  public name: string;

  public constructor(data = {}) {
    super(data);
    this.defineField('id', {
      serializable: ['output'], // list serialization strategy names
    });
    this.defineField('name', {
      serializable: ['input', 'output'], // list serialization strategy names
    });
    this.populate(data);
  }
}

const user = new User({
  'id': 100,
  'name': 'John Smith',
});
user.serialize(); // -> { "id": 100, "name": "John Smith" }
user.serialize('input'); // -> { "name": "John Smith" }
user.serialize('output'); // -> { "id": 100, "name": "John Smith" }

Commits & Rollbacks

RawModel tracks changes for all fields and provides a mechanism for committing values and rollbacks.
The example below explains how to setup and use these features.

class User extends Model {
  public name: string;

  public constructor(data = {}) {
    super(data);
    this.defineField('name');
  }
}

const user = new User();
user.name = 'Mandy Taylor'; // changing field's value
user.isChanged(); // -> true
user.commit(); // set `initialValue` of each field to the value of  `value`
user.isChanged(); // -> false
user.name = 'Tina Fey'; // changing field's value
user.rollback(); // -> reset `value` of each field to its `initialValue` (last committed value)

Validation

RawModel provides a simple mechanism for validating fields.

class User extends Model {
  public name: string;

  public constructor(data = {}) {
    super(data);

    this.defineField('name', {
      validate: [ // field validation setup
        { // validator recipe
          validator: 'presence', // [required] validator name
          message: '%{it} must be present', // [optional] error message
          code: 422, // [optional] error code
          condition () { return true }, // [optional] condition which switches the validation on/off
          it: 'it', // [optional] custom variable for the `message`
        },
      ],
    });
  }
}

const user = new User();
user.validate().catch((err) => {
  user.collectErrors(); // -> [{path: ['name'], errors: [{validator: 'presence', message: 'is must be present', code: 422}]}]
});

It already includes some useful built-in validators but it's super simple to define your own validator. Note that each validator function shares the context of a field instance thus you have access to all the features of the Field class.

class User extends Model {
  public name: string;

  constructor(data = {}) {
    super(data);

    this.defineValidator('coolness', function (v) {
      return v === 'cool';
    });

    this.defineField('name', {
      validate: [
        {
          validator: 'coolness',
          message: 'must be cool',
        },
      ],
    });
  }
}

Error Handling

RawModel provides a mechanism for handling field-related errors. The logic is aligned with validation thus validation and error handling can easily be managed in a unified way. This is great because we always deal with validation errors and can thus directly send these errors back to a user in a unified format.

class User extends Model {
  public name: string;

  public constructor(data = {}) {
    super(data);

    this.defineField('name', {
      handle: [ // field error handling setup
        { // handler recipe
          handler: 'block', // [required] handler name
          message: '%{is} unknown', // [optional] error message
          code: 422, // [optional] error code
          block (error) { return true }, // [optional] handler-specific function
          condition () { return true }, // [optional] condition which switches the handling on/off
          is: 'is', // [optional] custom variable for the `message`
        },
      ],
    });
  }
}

const error = new Error();
lconstet user = new User();
user.handle(error).then(() => {
  user.collectErrors(); // -> [{ path: ['name'], errors: [{ handler: 'block', message: 'is unknown', code: 422 }] }]
});

This mechanism is especially handful when saving data to a database. MongoDB could, for example, throw a uniqueness error (E11000) if we try to insert a value that already exists in the database. We can catch that error by using the handle() and then return a unified validation error message to a user.
RawModel already includes some useful built-in handlers but it's super simple to define your own handler. Note that each handler function shares the context of a field instance thus you have access to all the features of the Field class.

class User extends Model {
  public name: string;

  public constructor(data = {}) {
    super(data);

    this.defineHandler('coolness', function (e) {
      return e.message === 'cool';
    });

    this.defineField('name', {
      handle: [ // field error handling setup
        { // handler recipe
          handler: 'coolness', // handler name
          message: 'cool', // error message
        },
      ],
    });
  }
}

GraphQL

RawModel.js can be a perfect framework for writing GraphQL resolvers. An instance of a root model, in our case the App class, can represent GraphQL's rootValue.

import { Model } from 'rawmodel';
import { graphql, buildSchema } from 'graphql';

class App extends Model { // root resolver
  public hello() { // `hello` field resolver
    return 'Hello World!';
  }
}

const schema = buildSchema(`
  type Query {
    hello: String
  }
`);

const root = new App(); // root resolver

graphql(schema, '{ hello }', root).then((response) => {
  console.log(response);
});

Built-in Data Types

| Type | Description |------|------------ | 'Any' | A value of different types (excluding arrays). | 'Any' | An array with values of different types. | 'String' | A string value. | 'String' | An array of string values. | 'Boolean' | A boolean value. | 'Boolean' | An array of boolean values. | 'Number' | An integer or a float number. | 'Number' | An array of integer or float numbers. | 'Integer' | An integer number. | 'Integer' | An array of integer numbers. | 'Float' | A float number. | 'Float' | An array of float numbers. | 'Date' | A date. | 'Date' | An array of dates.
NOTE: Field data type should always represent a value. This means that you should never assign a function to a field. If you need to handle dynamic field values, please use field value transformations instead. You can also define your own data type by using the defineType method.
