#### What problem are you trying to solve?
Current "required if" solution is not quite simple. I think that general needs should not be that complex. (Or shorthand)
```js
Joi.when("a", { is: "someValue", then: Joi.required() })
```
#### Do you have a new or modified API suggestion to solve the problem?
`c` is only required if `a` is equal to `someValue`.
We can access parent properties with `parent` and `c` with `value`.
```js
Joi.object({
a: Joi.string().required(),
b: Joi.array()
c: Joi.string().required((parent, value) => {
// parent: a, b
// value: c
return parent.a === "someValue";
})
})
```
