Validating query parameters

[galaczi]

I am trying to validate a query string parameter called term.

import { rules, schema as Schema } from '@ioc:Adonis/Core/Validator'

  public async getJson({request}: HttpContextContract) {
    // TODO: schema validation
    const schema = Schema.create({
      params: Schema.object().members({
       term: Schema.string()
      })
    })

    const {params: {term}} = await request.validate({schema})
    
    // const {term} = request.qs()

    const locations = await Database.from('locations').where('name', 'ILIKE', `${term}%`)
        .select(['id', 'name'])
        .limit(30)

    return locations
  }

I must be doing something wrong because I get an empty response from the server with a 302 status and the execution stops at validation. Any ideas?

You have to validate it, as shown below.

const schema = Schema.create({
 term: Schema.string()
})

The params is not the query string. It is the route params. https://docs.adonisjs.com/guides/routing#route-parameters
