I get this message from Mongoose validation:
'Validator failed for path phone with value ``'
That shouldn't happen since phone is not required.
Here's my model schema:
var user = new Schema(
{
_id : { type: String, required: true },
name : { type: String, required: true},
phone : { type: String, required: false, validate: /^\d{10}$/ },
password : { type: String },
added : { type: Date, default: Date.now },
},
{collection : 'users'}
);
It seems that mongoose's validation fails when i use required: false
and set validate property up.
If I change it to:
phone : { type: String, required: false},
Everything goes right, why is that? What am I doing wrong?
I think your regex is failing validation on empty string which should in this case be valid since this field is not required. Why don't you try this regex:
/^$|^\d{10}$/
This will match an empty string or 10 digits.
You can simply check if the value entered exists (not null or undefined). If it exists, then test the regex:
var user = new Schema(
{
_id : { type: String, required: true },
name : { type: String, required: true},
phone : { type: String,/*not required by default**/
validate: {
validator: function(v) {
var re = /^\d{10}$/;
return (!v || !v.trim().length) || re.test(v)
},
message: 'Provided phone number is invalid.'
}
},
password : { type: String },
added : { type: Date, default: Date.now },
},
{collection : 'users'}
);
