Feature: Implement Request Validation & Schema Validation Module

[ykargeee-bit]

Overview

Create a robust request validation module to ensure data integrity and prevent invalid data from entering the system.

Description

Implement comprehensive input validation using schema validation libraries to validate all incoming API requests against predefined schemas.

Direction

• Implement schema-based validation using Zod or similar library
• Create reusable validation middleware
• Support nested object and array validation
• Implement custom validation rules for domain-specific logic
• Generate automatic OpenAPI documentation from schemas
• Add validation error formatting and messaging
• Implement file upload validation (size, type, format)

Acceptance Criteria

• Schema validation middleware implemented and working
• All API endpoints have corresponding validation schemas
• Custom validation rules created for business logic
• Validation errors return consistent, informative messages
• File upload validation (size and MIME type) working
• Nested object validation tested and functional
• Performance impact of validation measured and acceptable
• Documentation generated from validation schemas

Hi! I'd like to contribute to this issue.

I have experience building secure backend APIs with robust validation using TypeScript, Node.js, and schema validation libraries. I'll implement a centralized request validation module that enforces consistent schema validation across endpoints, rejects malformed input with clear, structured error responses, and integrates seamlessly with the existing middleware and routing architecture. The solution will be modular, reusable, and designed to improve data integrity without impacting existing functionality.

I'll also add comprehensive unit and integration tests covering valid requests, validation failures, edge cases, and error handling, along with any necessary documentation to ensure the feature is reliable, maintainable, and easy to review.

Estimated completion: 12–24 hours.
