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.
|
|
- Handles type interface by determining it's underlying type prior to validation.
|
|
- Handles custom field types such as sql driver Valuer see [Valuer](https://golang.org/src/database/sql/driver/types.go?s=1210:1293#L29)
|
|
- Alias validation tags, which allows for mapping of several validations to a single tag for easier defining of validations on structs
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Use go get.
|
|
|
|
go get gopkg.in/bluesuncorp/validator.v8
|
|
|
|
or to update
|
|
|
|
go get -u gopkg.in/bluesuncorp/validator.v8
|
|
|
|
Then import the validator package into your own code.
|
|
|
|
import "gopkg.in/bluesuncorp/validator.v8"
|
|
|
|
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:

|

|
|
* https://github.com/bluesuncorp/validator/issues/134
|
|
|
|
validator only returns nil or ValidationErrors as type error; so in you code all you need to do
|
|
is check if the error returned is not nil, and if it's not type cast it to type ValidationErrors
|
|
like so:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
err := validate.Struct(mystruct)
|
|
validationErrors := err.(validator.ValidationErrors)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

How to Contribute
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
There will always be a development branch for each version i.e. `v1-development`. In order to contribute,
|
|
please make your pull requests against those branches.
|
|
|
|
If the changes being proposed or requested are breaking changes, please create an issue, for discussion
|
|
or create a pull request against the highest development branch for example this package has a
|
|
v1 and v1-development branch however, there will also be a v2-development branch even though v2 doesn't exist yet.
|
|
|
|
I strongly encourage everyone whom creates a custom validation function to contribute them and
|
|
help make this package even better.
