API Validation

INFO

This section is under development.

Medipal uses AJV (Another JSON Validator) for client-side validation of data against JSON Schema definitions.

Purpose

Client-side validation provides immediate feedback to users before data is sent to the server, improving the user experience and reducing unnecessary API calls.

Schema Loading

JSON Schema definitions are loaded from the schema package and compiled into validators at build time.

Validation in Forms

Form components use the compiled validators to check field values on blur and on submit, displaying inline error messages.

Consistency with Backend

Because both client and server validate against the same JSON Schema definitions, validation rules are guaranteed to be consistent.
