To use the express-validator library with the Koa framework, you can create a middleware function that integrates the validation functionality. Here is an example implementation:
- Install the required packages:
1
|
npm install koa koa-router express-validator |
- Create a Koa application and define a route with validation:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 |
const Koa = require('koa');
const Router = require('koa-router');
const { body, validationResult } = require('express-validator');
const app = new Koa();
const router = new Router();
// Define a route with validation
router.post('/api/user', [
body('username').isLength({ min: 5 }).withMessage('Username must be at least 5 characters'),
body('email').isEmail().withMessage('Invalid email address'),
], async (ctx) => {
const errors = validationResult(ctx);
if (!errors.isEmpty()) {
ctx.status = 400;
ctx.body = { errors: errors.array() };
} else {
// Process the request
// ...
}
});
app.use(router.routes());
app.listen(3000, () => {
console.log('Server is running on http://localhost:3000');
});

In this example, we create a Koa application and define a route /api/user that expects a POST request. We use the body function from express-validator to define validation rules for the username and email fields. If there are validation errors, we return a 400 Bad Request response with the error messages. Otherwise, we process the request as usual.
- Test the route using a tool like Postman or curl:
1
|
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/user -d "username=test&email=test@example.com" |
This is a basic example of how you can integrate express-validator with the Koa framework to validate request data. You can customize the validation rules and error handling based on your requirements.
