API Validation

use celebrate so api is clear at route level,so frontend can expect what is needed without reading docs or rewriting docs

route.post('/signup',
 celebrate({
   body: Joi.object({
     name: Joi.string().required(),
     email: Joi.string().required(),
     password: Joi.string().required(),
   }),
 }),
 controller.signup)

error

{
 "errors": {
   "message": "child \"email\" fails because [\"email\" is required]"
 }
}
