## Types

### `ValidationItem`

A validation item describes a single piece of information — typically a warning or an error — about a node in the Codama IDL.

ts type ValidationItem = {

// The level of importance of a validation item.
level: 'debug' | 'trace' | 'info' | 'warn' | 'error';
// A human-readable message describing the issue or information.
message: string;
// The node that the validation item is related to.
node: Node;
// The path of nodes that led to the node above (including the node itself).
path: NodePath;

};

## Functions

### `getValidationItemsVisitor(visitor)`

The `getValidationItemsVisitor` function returns a visitor that collects all validation items from a Codama IDL. Note that this visitor is still a work in progress and does not cover all validation rules.

ts import { getValidationItemsVisitor } from '@codama/validators';

const validationItems = codama.accept(getValidationItemsVisitor());

### `throwValidatorItemsVisitor(visitor)`

The `throwValidatorItemsVisitor` function accepts a `Visitor<ValidationItemp[]>` and throws an error if any validation items above a certain level are found. By default, the level is set to `'error'` but a second argument can be passed to change it.

ts import { throwValidatorItemsVisitor, getValidationItemsVisitor } from '@codama/validators';

// Throw if any "error" items are found. codama.accept(throwValidatorItemsVisitor(getValidationItemsVisitor()));

// Throw if any "warn" or "error" items are found. codama.accept(throwValidatorItemsVisitor(getValidationItemsVisitor(), 'warn')); ```
