Description: Joi -> JSON Schema Converter (support joi v16.0)
Author: James Lal [:lightsofapollo]
Latest version: 0.0.1

# joi-to-json-schema

The goal is to provide best effort conversion from Joi objects to JSON
Schema (draft-04) with the understanding that only some of Joi's schematics 
can be converted directly. Primarily this module exists to convert Joi schema 
objects for existing tools which happen to currently consume JSON Schema.

## Installation
> npm install @yeongjet/joi-to-json-schema



## Usage

```js
var joi = require('joi'),
    convert = require('joi-to-json-schema'),
    joiSchema = joi.object({
      'name': joi.string().required().regex(/^\w+$/),
      'description': joi.string().optional().default('no description provided'),
      'a': joi.boolean().required().default(false),
      'b': joi.alternatives().when('a', {
        is: true,
        then: joi.string().default('a is true'),
        otherwise: joi.number().default(0)
      })
    });

convert(joiSchema);
```

which will produce:

```js
{ type: 'object',
  properties: 
   { name: { type: 'string', pattern: '^\\w+$' },
     description: { default: 'no description provided', type: 'string' },
     a: { type: 'boolean', default: false },
     b: { oneOf: [ { default: 'a is true', type: 'string' }, { type: 'number', default: 0 } ] } },
  additionalProperties: false,
  required: [ 'name', 'a' ] }
```

## JSDOC

```javascript
 /**
  * Converts the supplied joi validation object into a JSON schema object,
  * optionally applying a transformation.
  *
  * @param {JoiValidation} joi
  * @param {TransformFunction} [transformer=null]
  * @returns {JSONSchema}
  */
 export default function convert(joi,transformer=null) {
   // ...
 };

 /**
  * Joi Validation Object
  * @typedef {object} JoiValidation
  */

 /**
  * Transformation Function - applied just before `convert()` returns and called as `function(object):object`
  * @typedef {function} TransformFunction
  */

 /**
  * JSON Schema Object
  * @typedef {object} JSONSchema
  */
```

## Notes

Joi's conditional form, i.e. `.when('name',{is:cond,then:joi,otherwise:joi})`, is evaluated at runtime 
and since, from the perspective of the schema, there is no way of knowing what the condition might resolve to, this
module takes the position that it should provide _all possible resolutions_ in a JSON Schema `oneOf:[]` clause.

## Testing

All tests cases are first checked against expected results and then validated using
Kris Zyp's excellent [json-schema](https://github.com/kriszyp/json-schema)
