Joi - is it possible to reference multiple values?

Question

Struggling to find anything about this in the docs - is it possible to reference multiple values?

Say I have a schema that takes 3 numbers (a, b, c), is it possible to set a max property on c based on a and b. Something like the following:

joi.object().keys({
  a: joi.number(),
  b: joi.number(),
  c: joi.number().max(joi.ref('a') + joi.ref('b'))
})

Does this answer your question? [Does Javascript pass by reference?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13104494/does-javascript-pass-by-reference) — tbhaxor, Apr 15 '20 at 18:47

For reference, multiple values use expression like

const schema = joi.object().keys({
  a: joi.number(),
  b: joi.number(),
  c: joi.expression("{{a +b}}"),
});
console.log(schema.validate({ a: 400, b: 300, c: 700 }));
