Using Validation

To use validation use class-validator. Example how to use class-validator with TypeORM:

import {Entity, PrimaryGeneratedColumn, Column} from "typeorm";
import {Contains, IsInt, Length, IsEmail, IsFQDN, IsDate, Min, Max} from "class-validator";

@Entity()
export class Post {

    @PrimaryGeneratedColumn()
    id: number;

    @Column()
    @Length(10, 20)
    title: string;

    @Column()
    @Contains("hello")
    text: string;

    @Column()
    @IsInt()
    @Min(0)
    @Max(10)
    rating: number;

    @Column()
    @IsEmail()
    email: string;

    @Column()
    @IsFQDN()
    site: string;

    @Column()
    @IsDate()
    createDate: Date;

}

Validation:

import {getManager} from "typeorm";
import {validate} from "class-validator";

let post = new Post();
post.title = "Hello"; // should not pass
post.text = "this is a great post about hell world"; // should not pass
post.rating = 11; // should not pass
post.email = "google.com"; // should not pass
post.site = "googlecom"; // should not pass

const errors = await validate(post);
if (errors.length > 0) {
    throw new Error(`Validation failed!`); 
} else {
    await getManager().save(post);
}
