@rjsf/validator-ajv8 APIs

In RJSF version 5, the original, embedded AJV 6 validator implementation from earlier versions was extracted into its own package, @rjsf/validator-ajv6, which was immediately deprecated since AJV 6 is no longer getting maintenance updates. A new @rjsf/validator-ajv8 package was added that uses the AJV 8 package, including adding support for using precompiled validators. Below are the exported API functions that are provided by this package. See the Validation documentation for examples of using these APIs.

Types​

There are a few Typescript types that are exported by @rjsf/validator-ajv8 in support of the APIs.

These types can be found on GitHub here.

APIs​

customizeValidator<T = any, S extends StrictRJSFSchema = RJSFSchema, F extends FormContextType = any>()​

Creates and returns a customized implementation of the ValidatorType with the given customization options if provided. If a localizer is provided, it is used to translate the messages generated by the underlying AJV validation.

Parameters​

  • [options={}]: CustomValidatorOptionsType - The optional map of CustomValidatorOptionsType options that are used to create the ValidatorType instance
  • [localizer]: Localizer | undefined - If provided, is used to localize a list of Ajv ErrorObjects after running the form validation using AJV

Returns​

  • AJV8Validator<T, S, F>: The custom validator implementation resulting from the set of parameters provided

compileSchemaValidators<S extends StrictRJSFSchema = RJSFSchema>()​

The function used to compile a schema into an output file in the form that allows it to be used as a precompiled validator. The main reasons for using a precompiled validator is reducing code size, improving validation speed and, most importantly, avoiding dynamic code compilation when prohibited by a browser's Content Security Policy. For more information about AJV code compilation see: https://ajv.js.org/standalone.html

Parameters​

  • schema: S - The schema to be compiled into a set of precompiled validators functions
  • output: string - The name of the file into which the precompiled validator functions will be generated
  • [options={}]: CustomValidatorOptionsType - The set of CustomValidatorOptionsType information used to alter the AJV validator used for compiling the schema. They are the same options that are passed to the customizeValidator() function in order to modify the behavior of the regular AJV-based validator.

createPrecompiledValidator<T = any, S extends StrictRJSFSchema = RJSFSchema, F extends FormContextType = any>()​

Creates and returns a ValidatorType interface that is implemented with a precompiled validator. If a localizer is provided, it is used to translate the messages generated by the underlying AJV validation.

NOTE: The validateFns parameter is an object obtained by importing from a precompiled validation file created via the compileSchemaValidators() function.

Parameters​

  • validateFns: ValidatorFunctions - The map of the validation functions that are created by the compileSchemaValidators() function
  • rootSchema: S - The root schema that was used with the compileSchemaValidators() function
  • [localizer]: Localizer | undefined - If provided, is used to localize a list of Ajv ErrorObjects after running the form validation using AJV

Returns​

  • ValidatorType<T, S, F>: The precompiled validator implementation resulting from the set of parameters provided
