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.
- 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 gopkg.in/go-playground/validator.v9
Then import the validator package into your own code.
import "gopkg.in/go-playground/validator.v9"
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:
Validator 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 http://godoc.org/gopkg.in/go-playground/validator.v9 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
