Install via pip:
pip install iot-edge-validator

Import and say hello:
from iot.edge.validator import __version__

print(f"hello world from iot-edge-validator version: {__version__}")

Basic usage:
from typing import Any, Dict, Union

from azure.iot.device.iothub.models.methods import MethodRequest, MethodResponse

from iot.edge.validator import (
format_exception_error,
generate_error_response,
compare_dictionary,
)

EXPECTED_METHOD_NAME: str = "some_method_name"

EXPECTED_METHOD_PAYLOAD: Dict[str, Any] = {
"some": {},
"expected": {},
"payload": {},
}

def validate_method_requests(method_request: MethodRequest) -> Union[MethodResponse, None]:
"""validation handler for some_method_name listener"""
if method_request.name == EXPECTED_METHOD_NAME:
pass
else:
return generate_error_response(method_request,
f"received unknown method request for {method_request.name}",
400,
)

def validate_some_method_name_request(method_request: MethodRequest) -> Union[MethodResponse, None]:
"""validation for expected payload of some_method_name direct method request"""
# top level basic format validation
error_msg = compare_dictionary(
d1=method_request.payload,
d2=EXPECTED_METHOD_PAYLOAD,
value_match=False,
recurse=False,
)
if error_msg:
return generate_error_response(
method_request, f"error parsing payload: {error_msg}", 400
)
return None
