Literal type

Ensure the field's value matches exactly the expected literal value. In certain cases, VineJS will perform the following normalizations on the input value.

• When expected value is a boolean - The input value [true, 1, "1", "true", "on"] will be converted to true.
• When expected value is a boolean - The input value [false, 0, "0", "false"] will be converted to false.
• When expected value is a number - The string representation of a number value will be converted to a number.

import vine from '@vinejs/vine' 
 
const schema = vine.object({ 
 is_hiring_guide: vine.literal(true) 
}) 

Using the following modifiers, you may mark the field as optional or nullable.

{ 
 is_hiring_guide: vine.literal(true).nullable() 
} 

{ 
 is_hiring_guide: vine.literal(true).optional() 
} 

Defining error message

You may define the custom error message using the literal rule name.

const messages = { 
 literal: 'The {{ field }} field must be {{ expectedValue }}' 
} 
 
vine.messagesProvider = new SimpleMessagesProvider(messages)
