Custom transformation of a value about joi HOT 3 CLOSED

Ah never mind, shoulda read the docs a bit more carefully next time:

Looks like .custom is good for this:

Joi.date().timestamp('unix').required().custom(val => new Date(+val * 1000))

The docs state:

any.custom(method, [description])

Adds a custom validation function to execute arbitrary code where:

I want to validate the input and then finally transform it for internal use. Is this the purpose of .custom or am I reading this incorrectly? That custom validation wording is a bit unclear since I'm only doing a transformation in my .custom. This has no impact on the validations, correct?

hey @nicholaswmin , you're right
.custom is described as "custom validation," and it's more versatile and can be used for both validation and data transformation

from joi.

My $0.02: This should be clarified as such; transformation/validation are not interchangeable concepts.

Closing though.
