Node Validation Essentials Workshop

You know validation can help make your application more stable, secure and reliable, but...

You really wish you could be building valuable features instead.

The problem is, you can't trust the data your application receives. It's no surprise you're worried about your application crashing horribly when it receives invalid requests. And you definitely don't want to waste your time fixing a messy database full of junk data. Just the thought of accidentally leaking data because of a malicious attack sends shivers down your spine.

oh my god this seems complicated

You've written hundreds of lines of validation code, but it feels like a mess. You're overwhelmed trying to integrate a validation library, handle validation errors, and send effective error responses.

Why is it so hard to figure out what the established practices are for validation in a Node.js application?

What's the best validation library for Node?

You end up stuck trying to choose from a whole heap of different validation libraries.

Where would you put this code? In the API route? In the model? In a separate file called by either the route or model? How would you organize this?

You're terrified of putting validation in the wrong place. You don't have a clue what validation rules you need, and you're worried about screwing up the error handling.

What I have is working, but it's very clumsy

You feel totally confused about how to handle validation, but you don't want the refactoring headache of adding it in later.

Implementing validation in your Node.js applications is such a hassle. But it doesn't have to be that way.

Imagine if your applications could safely handle any data they receive without skipping a beat. You could have confidence in the quality of the data in your database. You'd be able to build secure applications with validation as your first line of defense.

What if you could consistently apply reliable validation tools and techniques? You'd know exactly where and how to integrate validation into your applications, and send effective error responses too.

Wouldn't it be awesome if you had a strategy for adding validation to every Node.js application you build? You could spend more time building valuable features for your users.

🧑‍💻 Learn how to skillfully apply the essentials of request validation in my hands-on workshop:

• Combine powerful tools to create your own flexible validation rules
• Catch bugs early with generated types (in JavaScript or TypeScript)
• Learn how to send consistent and effective error responses
• And how to create an effective strategy for request validation in Node.js
