Latest Version: 0.1.2

Practice safe mongo! A mongo schema library with two features of note:

1. Validators for field types, including enumerable field types and BSON ObjectIds, and
2. A model macro and functions to shortcut the validation and creation/updating/deletion of data

Include in your lein :dependencies

[schemongo "0.1.2"]

This will resolve the dependencies on congomongo and clojure 1.3.0

(ns quickstart
  (:require [schemongo.models :as models]))

; Declare a schema like this:

(def user-schema [
  [:username :str]
  [:passwordhash :str]
  [:salt :str]])

; Then, create CRUD functions using model:

(model "user" :users user-schema)

Now you can use these functions:

(fetch-user objectid)
(create-user! data)
(update-user! user data)
(delete-user! user)

For create and update, the output is an error tuple (the error is skipped for fetch, nil is just returned). Here's a contrived example:

(let [
      [usr err] (create-user! {:username "Username"
                               :passwordhash "No functional validations, just types"
                               :salt "Some salt"})]
       ; Check that usr is not nil, or that err is.

       (if (nil? err)
         (update-user! usr {:username "Otherusername"}))
)

If you use only one part of this library, use this one (because it provides validations implicitly)

(model name coll schema)

Creates CRUD functions for a model named name, stored in coll and validated against schema

(model "user" :users user-schema)

This module contains and exports validation functions for all supported types, and packaged validation of data (as a hash-map) against a defined schema.

A schema is a vector of entries in the following format: [name type & args]. Examples:

[[:intval :int]
 [:strval :str]
 [:enumval :enum ["a" "b" "c"]]
 [:user :foreign :users]]

(validate-field value field type)
(validate-field value field type & args)

Validate value for field as a type, with args as arguments to the validator. Returns [true nil] if successful and [nil error message] if not.

(validate-data data schema)

Validate all fields of data against schema. Strips any fields not in schema from data. Returns [true nil] if successful and [nil error message] if not.

Will fail on the first invalid field.

:str, :int, :float, :bool

[:strval :str]

Assert that the type of the given data is present, and as given.

:str?, :int?, :float?, :bool?

[:bool_or_nil_val :bool?]

Same as above, but will accept nil/unset values for these fields

:enum, :enum?

(def members ["a", "b", "c"])

; Example schema
[:enumfield :enum members]

Ensure that the given data is a member. :enum? will also accept an empty value.

:enum-many, :enum-many?

[:enum_many_field :enum-many members]

Ensure the input is a collection, with each element present in the member vector. :enum-many? will also accept an empty value.

This is a bit weird, don't rely on it. Use a proper date type, this is just for storage purposes.

Dates and times as vectors.

:date, :date?

Ensure that the given data is a list of three integers representing year, month, day. Year is in range 1900-2100, Month is in range 1-12 inclusive, Day is in range 1-31 inclusive. :date? will accept a nil as well.

Does not challenge putting too many days in a month, so don't rely on it.

:time, :time?

Ensure that the given data is a list of three integers representing hour, minute, second, checking for the obvious ranges of 0-23, 0-59, 0-59 respectively. :time? will accept a nil/unset as well.

:foreign, :foreign?

(def coll :users)

; Example schema entry
[:owner :foreign :users]

:foreign will accept an ObjectId referring to an entry in another (or the same) collection, and perform a query to ensure that it exists. :foreign? will accept a nil as well.

:many, :many?

[:owners :many :users]

Will accept a collection of ObjectIds and verify that they exist. Both are actually the same, this time, and will return true for empty/nils.

:custom

(defn validate-int-in-range [d n1 n2]
 (and
   (validators/validate-int n1)
   (validators/validate-int n2)
   (validators/validate-int d)
   (>= d n1)
   (<= d n2)))

[:number_from_one_to_ten :custom validate-int-in-range 1 10]

Give it a function, and any extra arguments to pass to the function, and it will ensure that function returns true before writing to the database.
