Equality with another attribute

[dmhts]

I'm wondering how to check the equality with another attribute? I've looked through the documentation and haven't found any possibility to define a custom validator only the dynamic one. Did I miss something?

[ansman]

validate.validators.equality = function(value, options, key, attributes) {
  var other = attributes[options.attribute];
  if (value !== other) {
    var attr = validate.prettify(options.attribute);
    return options.message ||
      validate.format("is not equal to %{a}", {a: attr});
  }
};

var constraints = {
  a1: {
    equality: {
      attribute: "a2"
    }
  }
};

console.log(validate({}, constraints));
// => undefined

console.log(validate({a1: "foo", a2: "foo"}, constraints));
// => undefined

console.log(validate({a1: "foo", a2: "bar"}, constraints));
// => {a1: ["A1 is not equal to a2"]}

Hope this helps. It doesn't work with nested attributes (foo.bar) and doesn't support more complex values such as arrays but it's a start.

@ansman Thank you for code and I'm sorry for my inattention. Also I think it makes sense to add this type of a validator to the predefined list in the documentation. It's really a common task to check equality for email, password fields, etc.

Yeah, that seems like a good idea. I'll implement it for a future release.
