  • returns: any - type of array elements.

performValidation

Validates a given value against the schema and configured validation rules.

protected performValidation(path: string, value: any, results: ValidationResult[]): void

  • path: string - dot notation path to the value.
  • value: any - value to be validated.
  • results: ValidationResult[] - list with validation results.

Examples

let schema = new ArraySchema(TypeCode.String);
   
schema.validate(["A", "B", "C"]);    // Result: no errors
schema.validate([1, 2, 3]);          // Result: element type mismatch
schema.validate("A");                // Result: type mismatch
