all
Strickland provides an all validator. The all validator operates over an array and it will only return a valid result if all validators in the array are valid. But all has a significant difference from every: all will always execute all validators, regardless of previous results. You can use all if all validators are safe to execute and you need to know all validator results, even if some are invalid.
Parameters
The first parameter to the all validator factory is the array of validators. Validator props can also be supplied either as an object or as a function that accepts context and returns a validator props object.

const atLeast5Chars = all(

    {message: 'Must have at least 5 characters'}

    ],

    (context) => ({message: `Must have at least ${context.minLength} characters`})

Result Properties
all: The array of validation results produced during validation
The all validator adds an all property to the validation result with the validation results of all validators that were validated in the array of validators. The validation result property is named all to match the name of the validator (this is a common pattern in Strickland).
Usage
1
import validate, {
2
    all, required, minLength, maxLength
3
} from 'strickland';

const mustExistWithLength5to10 = all([
6
    required({message: 'Required'}),
7
    minLength({minLength: 5, message: 'Must have at least 5 characters'}),
8
    maxLength({maxLength: 10, message: 'Must have at most 10 characters'})
9
]);
10
const result = validate(mustExistWithLength5to10, '1234');

There are a few notable characteristics of this result:
1.The properties from all executed validators are added to the top-level result
The required validator added the required: true property to the result
The minLength validator added the minLength: 5 property to the result
The maxLength validator added the maxLength: 10 property to the result
2.Property collisions are resolved using last-in-wins
In this example, the message from the maxLength validator replaced the messages provided by the required and minLength validators
This behavior is consistent and predictable with Strickland, but limits how top-level result properties can be used with the all validator
3.All validators are executed, even after the result is known to be invalid
4.The top-level isValid prop on the result reflects the overall validation result
