Stripping unknown keys when validating with Joi

javascript node.js joi

I'm using Joi to validate a JavaScript object in the server. The schema is like the following:

var schema = Joi.object().keys({
    displayName: Joi.string().required(),
    email: Joi.string().email(),
    enabled: Joi.boolean().default(false, "Default as disabled")
}).unknown(false);

The schema above will report an error if there is an unknown key in the object, which is expected, but what I want is to strip all the unknown silently, without an error. Is it possible to be done?

You need to use the stripUnknown option if you want to strip the unknown keys from the objects that you are validating.

cf options on https://github.com/hapijs/joi/blob/master/API.md#validatevalue-schema-options-callback
