ADONISJS: validate some data outside the HTTP request in - adonis.js

Question

This is my validator class
import { schema, rules } from "#ioc:Adonis/Core/Validator";
import { HttpContextContract } from "#ioc:Adonis/Core/HttpContext";
export default class CreateUserValidator {
constructor(protected ctx: HttpContextContract) {}
schema = schema.create({
lat: schema.string({}, [
rules.regex(/^[-]?(([0-8]?[0-9])\.(\d+))|(90(\.0+)?)$/),
]),
lng: schema.string({}, [
rules.regex(/^[-]?((((1[0-7][0-9])|([0-9]?[0-9]))\.(\d+))|180(\.0+)?)$/),
]),
radius: schema.number(),
distance: schema.number(),
});
public messages = {};
}
This is my controller
import { validator } from '#ioc:Adonis/Core/Validator'
import CreateUser from 'App/Validators/CreateUserValidator'
public async station({
request,
response,
}: HttpContextContract) {
let inputs: any = await EncyptionManager.decrypt(request.body().inputs);
inputs = JSON.parse(inputs);
await validator.validate(
new CreateUser({
lat: ainputs.lat,
long: ainputs.lat,
radius: ainputs.radius,
distance: ainputs.distance,
})
);
console.log(inputs)
Simply, I want to validate lat, long, radius, and distance using the validator classes outside of the HTTP request.

Answer 1

Coz validator constructor is asking for ctx and we are passing data
We have to update the validator constructor and remove the dependency on ctx and accept data
Now my Validator accept the data
import { schema, rules } from "#ioc:Adonis/Core/Validator";
import { HttpContextContract } from "#ioc:Adonis/Core/HttpContext";
export default class CreateUserValidator {
constructor() {}
schema = schema.create({
lat: schema.string({}, [
rules.regex(/^[-]?(([0-8]?[0-9])\.(\d+))|(90(\.0+)?)$/),
]),
lng: schema.string({}, [
rules.regex(/^[-]?((((1[0-7][0-9])|([0-9]?[0-9]))\.(\d+))|180(\.0+)?)$/),
]),
radius: schema.number(),
distance: schema.number(),
});
public messages = {};
}
