I have implemented a joi schema to validate email and password that are sent as JSON in the request body. Now, I want to add an additional validation for the IP address. However, when I tried to do so, I encountered the following error:
{
"isJoi": true,
"name": "ValidationError",
"details": [
{
"message": "\"ip\" is required",
"path": [
"ip"
],
"type": "any.required",
"context": {
"key": "ip",
"label": "ip"
}
}
],
"_object": {
"email": "<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="b5d9dac7d0d8d9dcc5c6c0d88587f5d4d7d69bd4c1">[email protected]</a>",
"password": "kyuser2923?"
}
}
Here's the joi schema defined in routehelpers.js:
const Joi = require('joi');
module.exports = {
validateSignup: (schema) => {
return (req, res, next) => {
const result = Joi.validate(req.body, schema);
if (result.error) {
return res.status(400).json(result.error);
}
if (!req.value) { req.value = {}; }
req.value['body']= result.value;
next();
}
},
schemas: {
signupSchema: Joi.object().keys({
email: Joi.string().email().required(),
password: Joi.string().required(),
ip: Joi.string().ip({
version: [
'ipv4',
'ipv6'
],
cidr: 'required'
}).required()
})
}
}
When I try to extract the IP address in my controller using:
const curIP = req.ip;
console.log('IP: '+curIP);
I do get the IP address in the console as follows:
Server running at http://127.0.0.1:4002/
IP: 127.0.0.1
However, how can I validate the requesting server's IP address during the signup process? It seems like the current validation only checks for the "ip" field in req.value.body. How should I modify the validateSignup function to also include the IP address of the requesting server?
