defmodule Parameter do @moduledoc """ `Parameter` helps you shape data from external sources into Elixir internal types. Use it to deal with any external data in general, such as API integrations, parsing user input, or validating data that comes into your system. `Parameter` offers the following helpers: - Schema creation and validation - Input data validation - Deserialization - Serialization ## Schema First step for dealing with external data is to create a schema that shape the data: defmodule UserParam do use Parameter.Schema alias Parameter.Validators param do field :first_name, :string, key: "firstName", required: true field :last_name, :string, key: "lastName" field :email, :string, validator: &Validators.email/1 has_one :address, AddressParam do field :city, :string, required: true field :street, :string field :number, :integer end end end Now it's possible to Load (deserialize) the schema against external data: params = %{ "firstName" => "John", "lastName" => "Doe", "email" => "john@email.com", "address" => %{"city" => "New York", "street" => "York"} } Parameter.load(UserParam, params) {:ok, %{ first_name: "John", last_name: "Doe", email: "john@email.com", address: %{city: "New York", street: "York"} }} or Dump (serialize) a populated schema to the source: schema = %{ first_name: "John", last_name: "Doe", email: "john@email.com", address: %{city: "New York", street: "York"} } Parameter.dump(UserParam, params) {:ok, %{ "firstName" => "John", "lastName" => "Doe", "email" => "john@email.com", "address" => %{"city" => "New York", "street" => "York"} }} For more schema options checkout `Parameter.Schema` """ alias Parameter.Dumper alias Parameter.Field alias Parameter.Loader alias Parameter.Types alias Parameter.Validator @unknown_opts [:error, :ignore] @doc """ Loads parameters into the given schema. ## Options * `:struct` - If set to `true` loads the schema into a structure. If `false` (default) loads with plain maps. * `:unknown` - Defines the behaviour when unknown fields are presented on the parameters. The options are `:ignore` (default) or `:error`. * `:exclude` - Accepts a list of fields to be excluded when loading the parameters. This option is useful if you have fields in your schema are only for dump. The field will not be checked for any validation if it's on the exclude list. * `:many` - When `true` will parse the input data as list, when `false` (default) it parses as map ## Examples defmodule UserParam do use Parameter.Schema param do field :first_name, :string, key: "firstName", required: true field :last_name, :string, key: "lastName" has_one :address, Address do field :city, :string, required: true field :street, :string field :number, :integer end end end params = %{ "address" => %{"city" => "New York", "street" => "broadway"}, "firstName" => "John", "lastName" => "Doe" } Parameter.load(UserParam, params) {:ok, %{ first_name: "John", last_name: "Doe", address: %{city: "New York", street: "broadway"} }} # Using struct options Parameter.load(UserParam, params, struct: true) {:ok, %UserParam{ first_name: "John", last_name: "Doe", address: %AddressParam{city: "New York", street: "broadway"} }} # Using many: true for lists Parameter.load(UserParam, [params, params], many: true) {:ok, [ %{ address: %{city: "New York", street: "broadway"}, first_name: "John", last_name: "Doe" }, %{ address: %{city: "New York", street: "broadway"}, first_name: "John", last_name: "Doe" } ]} # Excluding fields Parameter.load(UserParam, params, exclude: [:first_name, {:address, [:city]}]) {:ok, %{ last_name: "Doe", address: %{street: "broadway"} }} # Unknown fields should return errors params = %{"user_token" => "3hgj81312312"} Parameter.load(UserParam, params, unknown: :error) {:error, %{"user_token" => "unknown field"}} # Invalid data should return validation errors: params = %{ "address" => %{"city" => "New York", "number" => "123AB"}, "lastName" => "Doe" } Parameter.load(UserParam, params) {:error, %{ first_name: "is required", address: %{number: "invalid integer type"}, }} Parameter.load(UserParam, [params, params], many: true) {:error, %{ 0 => %{address: %{number: "invalid integer type"}, first_name: "is required"}, 1 => %{address: %{number: "invalid integer type"}, first_name: "is required"} }} ### Loading map with atom keys It's also possible to load map with atom keys.
