arrayElements

Strickland provides an arrayElements validator to apply a validator against all elements within an array. The arrayElements validator first validates that the value is an Array (using Array.isArray), and then it validates all elements of that array using the supplied validator.
Parameters
The first parameter to the arrayElements validator factory is validator that will be used to validate each element of the value array. Validator props can also be supplied either as an object or as a function that accepts context and returns a validator props object.
const allValuesRequired = arrayElements(
    required(),
    {message: 'Must have at least 5 characters'}
);
​
const result = validate(allValuesRequired, ['First', '', 'Third']);
​
const allValuesHaveMinLength = arrayElements(
    minLength((context) => ({minLength: context.minLength}))
    (context) => ({message: `All values must have at least ${context.minLength} characters`})
);
Result Properties
arrayElements: The array of validation results produced during validation
The arrayElements validator adds an arrayElements property to the validation result with the validation results of every array element that was validated. The validation result property is named arrayElements to match the name of the validator (this is a common pattern in Strickland).
import validate, {every, required, minLength, maxLength} from 'strickland';
​
const allValuesHaveMinLength = arrayElements(
    minLength((context) => ({minLength: context.minLength}))
    (context) => ({message: `All values must have at least ${context.minLength} characters`})
);
​
const result = validate(
    allValuesHaveMinLength,
    ['1', '12', '123', '1234'],
    {minLength: 3}
);
​
/*
    result = {
        isValid: false,
        value: ['1', '12', '123', '1234'],
        message: 'All values must have at least 3 characters',
        arrayElements: [
            {
                isValid: false,
                value: '1',
                minLength: 3,
                length: 1
            },
            {
                isValid: false,
                value: '12',
                minLength: 3,
                length: 2
            },
            {
                isValid: true,
                value: '123',
                minLength: 3,
                length: 3
            },
            {
                isValid: true,
                value: '1234',
                minLength: 3,
                length: 4
            }
        ]
    }
