Joi validation using joi.object

Question

trying to learn Typescript and using Joi with Hapi to write some API code and query validation. Ran into an issue where this works:

query: joi.object({
            apiKey: joi.string().required()
        })

but this does not:

query: {
            apiKey: joi.string().required()
        }

Does anyone know what is happening here? I get a runtime error in the second case.

Answer 1

Joi 16 onwards you have to wrap your schema in Joi.object. This is the reason why it is not working in the second case. If you want to use the second way, you need to use Joi 15
