I'm now using plain ES6 "classes" with Joi validation, but I'd like something like Ruby's ActiveModel (http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveModel/Model.html) or Virtus (https://github.com/solnic/virtus). I really like Ampersand State (https://github.com/AmpersandJS/ampersand-state) but I'd like to use something that uses ES6 classes (to keep that the standard of my project) and something less verbose than Joi (but as good as). Suggestions?

It sounds like you're in the territory where using Typescript might provide you some tangible benefit.  That may be the least amount of extra typing into your code that you can get away with, and have the system stop you if there's a type mismatch.

The cost of that is a transpilation step.  Whether that's worth it, or even a good idea, is up to you.

I agree, tentatively... MY first thought was something decorator based for establishing the class/prototype for validation would be useful.  Though TS specifically wouldn't be necessary, it might be helpful beyond what Babel would offer here, especially wrt child properties as class instances.

Ask EJ: Some lib for data validation/domain models with ES6?
