Package validator

Package validator implements value validations for structs and individual fields based on tags.

It has the following unique features:

• Cross Field and Cross Struct validations by using validation tags or custom validators.
• Slice, Array and Map diving, which allows any or all levels of a multidimensional field to be validated.
• Ability to dive into both map keys and values for validation
• Handles type interface by determining it's underlying type prior to validation.
• Handles custom field types such as sql driver Valuer see Valuer
• Alias validation tags, which allows for mapping of several validations to a single tag for easier defining of validations on structs
• Extraction of custom defined Field Name e.g. can specify to extract the JSON name while validating and have it available in the resulting FieldError
• Customizable i18n aware error messages.
• Default validator for the gin web framework; upgrading from v8 to v9 in gin see here

Installation

Use go get.

go get github.com/go-playground/validator/v10

Then import the validator package into your own code.

import "github.com/go-playground/validator/v10"

Error Return Value

Validation functions return type error

They return type error to avoid the issue discussed in the following, where err is always != nil:

• http://stackoverflow.com/a/29138676/3158232
• https://github.com/go-playground/validator/issues/134

Validator returns only InvalidValidationError for bad validation input, nil or ValidationErrors as type error; so, in your code all you need to do is check if the error returned is not nil, and if it's not check if error is InvalidValidationError ( if necessary, most of the time it isn't ) type cast it to type ValidationErrors like so:

err := validate.Struct(mystruct)
validationErrors := err.(validator.ValidationErrors)

Usage and documentation

Please see https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-playground/validator/v10 for detailed usage docs.

Examples:

• Simple
• Custom Field Types
• Struct Level
• Translations & Custom Errors
• Gin upgrade and/or override validator
• wash - an example application putting it all together

Baked-in Validations

Special Notes:

• If new to using validator it is highly recommended to initialize it using the WithRequiredStructEnabled option which is opt-in to new behaviour that will become the default behaviour in v11+. See documentation for more details.

validate := validator.New(validator.WithRequiredStructEnabled())
