Example 1: express validator

// this method create custom express validator using middleware

const { validationResult, check } = require('express-validator')

exports.resultsValidator = (req) => {
  const messages = []
  if (!validationResult(req).isEmpty()) {
    const errors = validationResult(req).array()
    for (const i of errors) {
      messages.push(i)
    }
  }
  return messages
}

exports.registerValidator = () => {
  return [
    check('username')
      .notEmpty()
      .withMessage('username is required')
      .not()
      .custom((val) => /[^A-za-z0-9\s]/g.test(val))
      .withMessage('Username not use uniq characters'),
    check('password')
      .notEmpty()
      .withMessage('password is required')
      .isLength({ min: 8 })
      .withMessage('password must be 8 characters')
  ]
}

exports.loginValidator = () => {
  return [
    check('username').notEmpty().withMessage('username or email is required'),
    check('password').notEmpty().withMessage('password is required')
  ]
}

  if (errors.length > 0) {
    return res.status(400).json({
      method: req.method,
      status: res.statusCode,
      error: errors
    })

   return res.status(200).send('Register Sucessfuly');
