- Part of the effort to split Ghost down into smaller, decoupled pieces
- Moved out our internal validator tooling to a separate library
- Replaced all usage of our own tooling and validatorjs directly with @tryghost/validator
- Removed the validatorjs dependency and removed the renovate pin
- This gives us a consistant, smaller, clearer public API for validations
- It will eventually be used on Ghost Admin too
- This way we can start getting up to date with validator whilst not increasing build size
- renamed our internal validation library to "validator" - which is the same as the tool it wraps
- updated the public api so that validator methods are directly exposed
- this will make it a drop-in replacement for validator-js
- in turn, this allows us to pull this out into @tryghost/validator, and use our own wrapper instead of the 3rd party library
- General code cleanup
- Removed unused notContains rule
- Swapped custom empty rule for builtin isEmpty rule
- Dropped usage of .extend on validator, as this was removed 2 years ago!
- This will allow us to upgrade the validator dependency to a much newer version
- Changed our internal validator module to only expose the functions we use.
- This gives us a clearer Public API
- It makes it easier to see if we are affected by changes in validator
- It's still easy to add another validator, we just have to update what we require
- We can potentially use this to make smaller builds esp for client-side usage
- Once ripped out into a module we can use ES imports :D
- Rejigged and _slightly_ improved the tests
- This is a really specific piece of code related to validating models against our internal schema.js format
- This doesn't make sense without a schema.js file
- It does depend on the internal validator and validate tools - but those are used elsewhere too, and can reasonably be moved out of the codebase
- I don't see schema.js moving out of the codebase any time soon. We can move the validator but it would be a class that requires schema via DI
- For now my focus is on getting the data/validation tooling separated and making clear sense
- Improving data/schema can come later :)
