Validate an array prop if other prop inside the same object is true

Describe the bug

I’m trying to validate a few props inside an array object only if the enabled prop of that same object is true.

---

To Reproduce

My request object looks like this.

{
    "propA": "",
    "propB": "",
    "items": [
         {
              "enabled": true,
              "name": "",
         }
    ]
}

I want to validate if the name prop of the array object is notEmpty only of the enabled property is set to true.

Environment:

Express-validator version: 6.12.1 Express version: 4.17.1

I don’t think it’s possible then but for v7 we planned to improve support for oneOf with wildcards. To use the same function that express-validator is using but without directly using express-validator you can import methods from ‘validator’ https://github.com/validatorjs/validator.js which is already packed up with express-validator as a dip.

Thank you for your responses.

I tried this, but I couldn’t make this work. My main issue is to be able to test properties of the array’s object based on another prop value. In this example you sent, it just uses properties of the main object.
