问题
I just started using express.js with express-validator to validate some input data and I have problems accessing the request body in the new check API that was introduced in version 4.0.0.
In older versions, you simply added express-validator as middleware in your app.js somewhere after body-parser:
// ./app.js
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");
const expressValidator = require("express-validator");
const index = require("./routes/index");
const app = express();
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(expressValidator());
Then in my index route, I could check the fields in the final callback function of the post method.
// ./routes/index.js
const express = require("express");
const router = express.Router();
router.post("/submit", (req, res, next) => {
// check email
req.check('email','Invalid email address').isEmail()
// check if password is equal to password confirmation
req.check('password', 'Invalid password')
/* Access request body to compare password
field with password confirmation field */
.equals(req.body.confirmPassword)
// get errors
const errors = req.validationErrors();
// do stuff
});
Like in this example, I could easily check whether the values of my password field and the password confirmation field of my form are equal. However, since version 4, they have a new API which requires you to load the express-validator directly in your router file and pass the check functions as array of functions before the final callback in the post method, like this:
// ./routes/index.js
const express = require("express");
const router = express.Router();
const { check, validationResult } = require("express-validator/check");
router.post(
"/submit",
[
// Check validity
check("email", "Invalid email").isEmail(),
// Does not work since req is not defined
check("password", "invalid password").isLength({ min: 4 })
.equals(req.body.confirmPassword) // throws an error
],
(req, res, next) => {
// return validation results
const errors = validationResult(req);
// do stuff
});
This doesn't work since req is not defined. So my quetsion is: how can I access the request object in a check()
chain to compare two different fields with the new express-validator API? Thanks very much in advance!

After fiddling around for a while, I found a way to achieve this by using custom validators. The validator function passed to the custom method accepts an object containing the request body:
router.post(
"/submit",
[
// Check validity
check("email", "Invalid email").isEmail(),
check("password", "invalid password")
.isLength({ min: 4 })
.custom((value,{req, loc, path}) => {
if (value !== req.body.confirmPassword) {
// trow error if passwords do not match
throw new Error("Passwords don't match");
} else {
return value;
}
})
],
(req, res, next) => {
// return validation results
const errors = validationResult(req);
// do stuff
});
