Context

• node version: v10.16.3
• joi version: 14.3.1
• environment (node, browser): node, safari
• used with (hapi, standalone, ...): javascript
• any other relevant information:

What are you trying to achieve or the steps to reproduce ?

const Joi = require('@hapi/joi');

// set scheme for joi
const schema = Joi.object().keys({
name: Joi.string().min(6).max(30).required(),
birthyear: Joi.number().integer().min(1970).max(2019)
});

// data to validate
const dateToValidate = {
name: 'chris',
birthyear: 1971
}

// validate
const result = Joi.validate(dateToValidate, schema);

Are you absolutely sure you're using joi 14 ? I'd bet not and if so it's a duplicate of #2125.

You fix it by changing joi.validate(request, validationSchema to validationSchema.validate(request As joi.validate() is no longer supported in v16. It is clearly documented in the API docs and release notes.

For the new version

const schema = Joi.object({ name: Joi.string() .min(6) .required(),
email: Joi.string() .min(6) .required() .email(),
password: Joi.string() .min(6) .required() });

const validation = schema.validate(req.body);
res.send(validation);
