Query parameters#

custom validation: principals ; see function below

Accepted query parameters: kind, search, excludeId.

Query parameters are URL text. The validation function below specifies their format, defaults and combinations. Pagination applies only to operations that use it.

Additional checks#

The following checks apply in addition to the field limits.

Constraint on value:

export function principals(input: unknown) {
    const parsed = checked(input, ['kind', 'search', 'excludeId']);
    if (!parsed.ok)
        return parsed;
    const bounds = pagination(parsed.value), kind = check.choice('all', 'human', 'agent')(parsed.value.get('kind') ?? 'all');
    if (!bounds.ok)
        return bounds;
    if (!kind.ok)
        return kind;
    const search = parsed.value.get('search') ?? '', excludeId = parsed.value.get('excludeId');
    if (!check.text(200, 0)(search).ok)
        return failure('invalid', 'Invalid search');
    if (excludeId !== null) {
        const valid = check.identifier(excludeId);
        if (!valid.ok)
            return valid;
    }
    return success({ ...bounds.value, kind: kind.value, search, ...(excludeId === null ? {} : { excludeId }) });
}
