Fault-finder for ActivityPub documents.

Generally, each -faults function will return:

  1. nil if no faults were found;
  2. a sequence of fault objects if faults were found.

Each fault object shall have the properties:

  1. :@context whose value shall be the URL of a document specifying this vocabulary;
  2. :type whose value shall be Fault;
  3. :severity whose value shall be one of info, minor, should, must or critical;
  4. :fault whose value shall be a unique token representing the particular fault type;
  5. :narrative whose value shall be a natural language description of the fault type.

Note that the reason for the :fault property is to be able to have a well known place, linked to from the @context URL, which allows narratives for each fault type to be served in as many natural languages as possible.

The idea further is that it should ultimately be possible to serialise a fault report as a document which in its own right conforms to the ActivityStreams spec.

accept-required-properties

As base-activity-required-properties, except that the type of the object is restricted.

activity-faults

(activity-faults x)

TODO: write docs

activity-required-properties

Properties activities should have, keyed by activity type. Values are maps of the format of base-activity-required-properties, q.v.

activity-type-faults

(activity-type-faults x)(activity-type-faults x type)

Return a list of faults found in the activity x; if type is also specified, it should be a string naming a specific activity type for which checks should be performed.

Some specific activity types have specific requirements which are not requirements.

actor-faults

(actor-faults x)

Return a list of faults found in actor x, or nil if none are.

base-activity-required-properties

Properties most activities should have. Values are validating functions, each.

See https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-activity

coll-object-reference-or-fault

(coll-object-reference-or-fault value expected-type severity token)

As object-reference-or-fault, except value argument may also be a list of objects and/or object references.

intransitive-activity-required-properties

Properties intransitive activities should have.

See https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-intransitiveactivity

object-faults

(object-faults x)(object-faults x expected-type)

Return a list of faults found in object x, or nil if none are.

If expected-type is also passed, verify that x has expected-type. expected-type may be passed as a string or as a set of strings.

object-reference-or-faults

(object-reference-or-faults value expected-type severity token)

If this value is either

  1. an object of expected-type;
  2. a URI referencing an object of expected-type; or
  3. a link object referencing an object of expected-type

and no faults are returned from validating the linked object, then return nil; else return a sequence comprising a fault object with this severity and token, prepended to the faults returned.

As with has-type-or-fault (q.v.), expected-type may be passed as a string or as a set of strings.

NOTE THAT if *reify-refs* is false, referenced objects will not actually be checked.

persistent-object-faults

(persistent-object-faults x)(persistent-object-faults x types severity token)

Return a list of faults found in persistent object x, or nil if none are.

string-or-fault

(string-or-fault value severity token)(string-or-fault value severity token pattern)

If this value is not a string, return a fault object with this severity and token, else nil. If pattern is also passed, it is expected to be a Regex, and the fault object will be returned unless value matches the pattern.

uri-or-fault

(uri-or-fault u severity if-missing-token)(uri-or-fault u severity if-missing-token if-invalid-token)

If u is not a valid URI, return a fault object with this severity and if-invalid-token. If it’s nil, return a fault object with this severity and if-missing-token. Otherwise return nil.
