optional: false not work

req.checkBody({
  'name.first': { //
    optional: false, // won't validate if field is empty
    isLength: {
      options: [2, 10],
      errorMessage: 'Must be between 2 and 10 chars long' // Error message for the validator, takes precedent over parameter message
    },
    errorMessage: 'Invalid First Name'
  }
});

it seems optional: false not work.

@ViswanathGavva can you please try with:

email: {
  optional: {
    options: [{ checkFalsy: true }]
  }
}

Thanks for the Reply. But the above does not work in schema validation. Below does not work.

‘email’: { optional: { checkFalsy:true }, isEmail:{ errorMessage: ‘Invalid Email’ } }

But the below is working as expected.

req.checkBody(‘email’,‘Enter Valid Email’).optional({checkFalsy:true}).isEmail();
