Custom Validator Function for AJV

It is possible to add custom asynchronous validation functions with keyword asyncValidatorFunction.

A Running Example

If there is a model called example, the attribute id in the model would be validated. Only if its value is "1", it passes the validation.

In specifically, it should be implemented by two steps:

1. find a file called example.js in folder validations.
2. add keyword asyncValidatorFunction and corresponding asynchronous validation function for attribute id in validatorSchema.

And the example code is as follows:

example.prototype.validatorSchema = {
  "$async": true,
  "properties": {
    "id": {
      "asyncValidatorFunction": async function(data) {
        if (data === "1") {
          return true
        } else {
          return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
            return reject(new Ajv.ValidationError([{
              keyword: 'asyncValidatorFunction',
              message: `${data} is not 1`
            }]))
          })
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
