# validateResourceMetadata

Standalone export only at runtime in v0.4.40. The NibgateClient declaration incorrectly lists it as a method. Returns normalized resource, score, errors, warnings and ok; use this standalone import.


## Signature {#signature}


```typescript
validateResourceMetadata(resource: NibgateResource | string, options?: Record<string, unknown>): NibgateMetadataValidation;
```

The signature above is declared on NibgateClient but only the standalone export exists at runtime.


## Parameters {#parameters}


| Parameter | Type |
| --- | --- |
| `resource` | `NibgateResource \| string` |
| `options?` | `Record<string, unknown>` |


## Returns {#returns}


`NibgateMetadataValidation`


## Example {#example}


App-supplied identifiers such as provider, signer, walletCheckout, sendTransfer, signOwnership and verifiedPaymentSignature represent your configured wallet integration or verified result. These are usage examples, not an automatically executed checkout.

```typescript
import { validateResourceMetadata } from '@nibgate/sdk';
const resource = { id: 'article-1', title: 'Example article', type: 'article', price: '1', url: 'https://creator.example/articles/1' };

const validation = validateResourceMetadata(resource);
console.log(validation.errors, validation.warnings);
```
