What are Joi tools and how can they help in my projects?

Joi is a powerful schema description language and data validator for JavaScript. It helps ensure that your data meets specific criteria before processing.

Can you give me an example of how to use Joi for validating an object?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

const Joi = require('joi');

const schema = Joi.object({
  name: Joi.string().min(3).required(),
  age: Joi.number().integer().min(0).required()
});

const result = schema.validate({ name: 'John', age: 25 });
console.log(result);

This will validate that the object has a name that's at least 3 characters long and an age that's a non-negative integer.

What happens if the validation fails?

If the validation fails, Joi will return an error object that describes what went wrong, including which fields are invalid and why.

Are there any other features of Joi that I should know about?

Yes! Joi also supports custom validation, conditional validation, and can be used to validate arrays and nested objects, making it very versatile.
