How to pass array of string as params to cloud function?

Moralis General
#1

Here is my cloud function :
Moralis.Cloud.define(‘search’, async (request) => {
try {
const response = await search(request.params);
return { code: 200, status: true, data: response };
} catch (error) {
saveLogs(error.message, LOG_TYPE.ERROR);
return { code: 500, status: false, error: error.message };
}
}, searchValidationObject);

Here is my searchValidationObject :
const searchValidationObject = {
fields: {
country: {
required: true,
type: Array,
options: (val) => {
return isCountrySupported(val)
},
error: “country is invalid or not supported”,
},
},
requireUser: true,
requireUserKeys: [“sessionToken”, “ethAddress”]
}

This is how I am calling cloud function:
let params = {
country: [‘india’],
limit: 10,
skip: 0
}

try {
const result = await Moralis.Cloud.run(‘search’, params);
console.log(result);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error.message);
console.error(error);
}

Giving error
Parse error: Validation failed. Invalid type for country. Expected: array

You could add some logging to see what was received in that function. You could also try with different parameters like an array of 2 elements in case that you need to change the syntax for on element.

You can also do the validation separately in flyer function code

Try with two elements in that array

#5

Same error:

Input: {“country”:[“india”,“usa”],“limit”:10,“skip”:0}

What you get if you log type of that parameter?

#7

we get typeof country as object

#8

You could do your own validation, I don’t know why it says that it is object.
