validator, checkParams does not work

See original GitHub issue
import expressValidator from 'express-validator';
...
app.use(expressValidator());
...
  req.checkParams('type', 'type is valid').notEmpty().isIn(['gallery']);
  console.log(req.params);

the validator is not showing any signs of life, even when the improper type is passed in.

This was always supported by express-validator:

req.checkBody('foo').notEmpty().isInt();
req.checkQuery('bar').isLength({ min: 2, max: 10 });

// https://github.com/ctavan/express-validator#reqvalidationerrorsmapped
const errors = req.validationErrors( true );
if ( errors ) console.log( errors );

Note that req.validationErrors() and req.asyncValidationErrors() have been deprecated because they are inconsistent and kinda flawed if compared to req.getValidationResult().
