Migration Checklist

Node version

Make sure your node version is v12.14.1 or newer, as required by hapi v19. Node v12 is the current LTS and the recommended version of node.

joi Schema Compiler

Hapi v19 requires that you register the joi module used via server.validator. By default rest-hapi registers joi v17 as the schema compiler to validate generated routes.

For custom routes with validation such as:

              validate: {
                payload: {
                  password: Joi.string()
                    .required()
                    .description("The user's new password")
                }
              },

you will need to update the syntax to either wrap your schema with Joi.object():

              validate: {
                payload: Joi.object({
                  password: Joi.string()
                    .required()
                    .description("The user's new password")
                })
              },

or use the rest-hapi joi module available through RestHapi.joi:

              validate: {
                payload: {
                  password: RestHapi.joi.string()
                    .required()
                    .description("The user's new password")
                }
              },
