Covered Functions

This contract covers 4 function(s):

validate()

Validates data against a Yup schema asynchronously

Import:

import { validate } from 'yup';

Postconditions

What happens after calling this function:

🔴 ERROR - validate-rejects

Condition: data fails validation against the schema

Throws: Promise rejection with ValidationError

Required Handling:

Caller MUST wrap validate() in try-catch or use .catch() handler. Without error handling, validation failures cause unhandled promise rejections that crash the application or lead to silent failures. Use pattern: try const value = await schema.validate(data); catch (error) /* handle */

📖 Source


validateSync()

Validates data against a Yup schema synchronously

Import:

import { validateSync } from 'yup';

Postconditions

What happens after calling this function:

🔴 ERROR - validatesync-throws

Condition: data fails validation against the schema

Throws: ValidationError

Required Handling:

Caller MUST wrap validateSync() in try-catch block. Without error handling, validation failures throw uncaught exceptions that crash the application. Invalid data will not be caught, leading to data corruption or security vulnerabilities. Use pattern: try const value = schema.validateSync(data); catch (error) /* handle */

📖 Source


validateAt()

Validates a specific path in the data against the schema asynchronously

Import:

import { validateAt } from 'yup';

Postconditions

What happens after calling this function:

🔴 ERROR - validateat-rejects

Condition: data at the specified path fails validation

Throws: Promise rejection with ValidationError

Required Handling:

Caller MUST wrap validateAt() in try-catch or use .catch() handler. Without error handling, validation failures cause unhandled promise rejections.

validateSyncAt()

Validates a specific path in the data against the schema synchronously

Import:

import { validateSyncAt } from 'yup';

Postconditions

What happens after calling this function:

🔴 ERROR - validatesyncat-throws

Condition: data at the specified path fails validation

Throws: ValidationError

Required Handling:

Caller MUST wrap validateSyncAt() in try-catch block. Without error handling, validation failures throw uncaught exceptions.

Example: Proper Error Handling

import yup from 'yup';

async function example() {
try {
const result = await validate(/* args */);
// Handle success
return result;
} catch (error) {
// Handle error according to contract postconditions
console.error('Error:', error);
throw error;
}
}
