|
|
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](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
|
|
- 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](https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin) web framework; upgrading from v8 to v9 in gin see [here](https://github.com/go-playground/validator/tree/v9/_examples/gin-upgrading-overriding)
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|

|
|
* https://github.com/go-playground/validator/issues/134
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
err := validate.Struct(mystruct)
|
|
validationErrors := err.(validator.ValidationErrors)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
