Joi: Adding ObjectID validator ?

Created on 26 Feb 2015 · 11Comments · Source: sideway/joi

Hi !
Before I try to code anything, what do you think about adding a validator for Mongodb's ObjectIDs ?
As Mongodb is widely used, it may be a good thing. But it may also be seen as a useless overhead.

Please take in account the fact that if #521 gets merged, this would become useless.

We can use mongoose.Types.ObjectId.isValid for validating ObjectId is valid or not.

if (!mongoose.Types.ObjectId.isValid(req.body.id)) {
    return res.status(400).send("Invalid object id");
}

God. Thanks.
At the time, I was just checking in the _handler_ block, but it's gonna be cleaner now.

Not if it's done in another way.

@Marsup is that a teaser for things to come?
