validator package - github.com/go-playground/validator/v10 - Go Packages

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

It can also handle Cross-Field and Cross-Struct validation for nested structs and has the ability to dive into arrays and maps of any type.

see more examples https://github.com/go-playground/validator/tree/master/_examples

Validator is designed to be thread-safe and used as a singleton instance. It caches information about your struct and validations, in essence only parsing your validation tags once per struct type. Using multiple instances neglects the benefit of caching. The not thread-safe functions are explicitly marked as such in the documentation.

Doing things this way is actually the way the standard library does, see the file.Open method here:

https://golang.org/pkg/os/#Open.

The authors 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 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.(validator.ValidationErrors).

Custom Validation functions can be added. Example:

// Structure
func customFunc(fl validator.FieldLevel) bool {

	if fl.Field().String() == "invalid" {
		return false
	}

	return true
}

validate.RegisterValidation("custom tag name", customFunc)
// NOTES: using the same tag name as an existing function
//        will overwrite the existing one

Cross-Field Validation can be done via the following tags:

• eqfield
• nefield
• gtfield
• gtefield
• ltfield
• ltefield
• eqcsfield
• necsfield
• gtcsfield
• gtecsfield
• ltcsfield
• ltecsfield

If, however, some custom cross-field validation is required, it can be done using a custom validation.

Why not just have cross-fields validation tags (i.e. only eqcsfield and not eqfield)?

The reason is efficiency. If you want to check a field within the same struct "eqfield" only has to find the field on the same struct (1 level). But, if we used "eqcsfield" it could be multiple levels down. Example:

type Inner struct {
	StartDate time.Time
}

type Outer struct {
	InnerStructField *Inner
	CreatedAt time.Time      `validate:"ltecsfield=InnerStructField.StartDate"`
}

now := time.Now()

inner := &Inner{
	StartDate: now,
}

outer := &Outer{
	InnerStructField: inner,
	CreatedAt: now,
}

errs := validate.Struct(outer)

// NOTE: when calling validate.Struct(val) topStruct will be the top level struct passed
//       into the function
//       when calling validate.VarWithValue(val, field, tag) val will be
//       whatever you pass, struct, field...
//       when calling validate.Field(field, tag) val will be nil

Multiple validators on a field will process in the order defined. Example:

type Test struct {
	Field `validate:"max=10,min=1"`
}

// max will be checked then min

Bad Validator definitions are not handled by the library. Example:

type Test struct {
	Field `validate:"min=10,max=0"`
}

// this definition of min max will never succeed

Baked In Cross-Field validation only compares fields on the same struct. If Cross-Field + Cross-Struct validation is needed you should implement your own custom validator.

Comma (",") is the default separator of validation tags. If you wish to have a comma included within the parameter (i.e. excludesall=,) you will need to use the UTF-8 hex representation 0x2C, which is replaced in the code as a comma, so the above will become excludesall=0x2C.

type Test struct {
	Field `validate:"excludesall=,"`    // BAD! Do not include a comma.
	Field `validate:"excludesall=0x2C"` // GOOD! Use the UTF-8 hex representation.
}

Pipe ("|") is the 'or' validation tags deparator. If you wish to have a pipe included within the parameter i.e. excludesall=| you will need to use the UTF-8 hex representation 0x7C, which is replaced in the code as a pipe, so the above will become excludesall=0x7C

type Test struct {
	Field `validate:"excludesall=|"`    // BAD! Do not include a pipe!
	Field `validate:"excludesall=0x7C"` // GOOD! Use the UTF-8 hex representation.
}

Here is a list of the current built in validators:

Tells the validation to skip this struct field; this is particularly handy in ignoring embedded structs from being validated. (Usage: -)

Usage: -

This is the 'or' operator allowing multiple validators to be used and accepted. (Usage: rgb|rgba) <-- this would allow either rgb or rgba colors to be accepted. This can also be combined with 'and' for example ( Usage: omitempty,rgb|rgba)

Usage: |

When a field that is a nested struct is encountered, and contains this flag any validation on the nested struct will be run, but none of the nested struct fields will be validated. This is useful if inside of your program you know the struct will be valid, but need to verify it has been assigned. NOTE: only "required" and "omitempty" can be used on a struct itself.

Usage: structonly

Same as structonly tag except that any struct level validations will not run.

Usage: nostructlevel

Allows conditional validation, for example, if a field is not set with a value (Determined by the "required" validator) then other validation such as min or max won't run, but if a value is set validation will run.

Usage: omitempty

Allows to skip the validation if the value is nil (same as omitempty, but only for the nil-values).

Usage: omitnil

This tells the validator to dive into a slice, array or map and validate that level of the slice, array or map with the validation tags that follow. Multidimensional nesting is also supported, each level you wish to dive will require another dive tag. dive has some sub-tags, 'keys' & 'endkeys', please see the Keys & EndKeys section just below.

Usage: dive

Example #1

[][]string with validation tag "gt=0,dive,len=1,dive,required"
// gt=0 will be applied to []
// len=1 will be applied to []string
// required will be applied to string

Example #2

[][]string with validation tag "gt=0,dive,dive,required"
// gt=0 will be applied to []
// []string will be spared validation
// required will be applied to string

Keys & EndKeys

These are to be used together directly after the dive tag and tells the validator that anything between 'keys' and 'endkeys' applies to the keys of a map and not the values; think of it like the 'dive' tag, but for map keys instead of values. Multidimensional nesting is also supported, each level you wish to validate will require another 'keys' and 'endkeys' tag. These tags are only valid for maps.

Usage: dive,keys,othertagvalidation(s),endkeys,valuevalidationtags

Example #1

map[string]string with validation tag "gt=0,dive,keys,eq=1|eq=2,endkeys,required"
// gt=0 will be applied to the map itself
// eq=1|eq=2 will be applied to the map keys
// required will be applied to map values

Example #2

map[[2]string]string with validation tag "gt=0,dive,keys,dive,eq=1|eq=2,endkeys,required"
// gt=0 will be applied to the map itself
// eq=1|eq=2 will be applied to each array element in the map keys
// required will be applied to map values

It is safest to suffix the string with os.PathSeparator if the directory may not exist at the time of validation.

Usage: dirpath

This validates that a string value contains a valid DNS hostname and port that can be used to validate fields typically passed to sockets and connections.

Usage: hostname_port

This validates that a string value is a valid datetime based on the supplied datetime format. Supplied format must match the official Go time format layout as documented in https://golang.org/pkg/time/

Usage: datetime=2006-01-02

This validates that a string value is a valid country code based on iso3166-1 alpha-2 standard. see: https://www.iso.org/iso-3166-country-codes.html

Usage: iso3166_1_alpha2

This validates that a string value is a valid country code based on iso3166-1 alpha-3 standard. see: https://www.iso.org/iso-3166-country-codes.html

Usage: iso3166_1_alpha3

This validates that a string value is a valid country code based on iso3166-1 alpha-numeric standard. see: https://www.iso.org/iso-3166-country-codes.html

Usage: iso3166_1_alpha3

This validates that a string value is a valid BCP 47 language tag, as parsed by language.Parse. More information on https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/text/language

Usage: bcp47_language_tag

BIC (SWIFT code)

This validates that a string value is a valid Business Identifier Code (SWIFT code), defined in ISO 9362. More information on https://www.iso.org/standard/60390.html

Usage: bic

This validates that a string value is a valid dns RFC 1035 label, defined in RFC 1035. More information on https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1035

Usage: dns_rfc1035_label

This validates that a string value is a valid time zone based on the time zone database present on the system. Although empty value and Local value are allowed by time.LoadLocation golang function, they are not allowed by this validator. More information on https://golang.org/pkg/time/#LoadLocation

Usage: timezone

This validates that a string value is a valid semver version, defined in Semantic Versioning 2.0.0. More information on https://semver.org/

Usage: semver

This validates that a string value is a valid cve id, defined in cve mitre. More information on https://cve.mitre.org/

Usage: cve

This validates that a string value contains a valid credit card number using Luhn algorithm.

Usage: credit_card

Usage: luhn_checksum

This validates that a string or (u)int value contains a valid checksum using the Luhn algorithm.

This validates that a string is a valid 24 character hexadecimal string or valid connection string.

Usage: mongodb
       mongodb_connection_string

Example:

type Test struct {
	ObjectIdField         string `validate:"mongodb"`
	ConnectionStringField string `validate:"mongodb_connection_string"`
}

This validates that a string value contains a valid cron expression.

Usage: cron

This validates that a string is valid for use with SpiceDb for the indicated purpose. If no purpose is given, a purpose of 'id' is assumed.

Usage: spicedb=id|permission|type

Alias Validators and Tags NOTE: When returning an error, the tag returned in "FieldError" will be the alias tag unless the dive tag is part of the alias. Everything after the dive tag is not reported as the alias tag. Also, the "ActualTag" in the before case will be the actual tag within the alias that failed.

Here is a list of the current built in alias tags:

"iscolor"
	alias is "hexcolor|rgb|rgba|hsl|hsla" (Usage: iscolor)
"country_code"
	alias is "iso3166_1_alpha2|iso3166_1_alpha3|iso3166_1_alpha_numeric" (Usage: country_code)

Validator notes:

regex
	a regex validator won't be added because commas and = signs can be part
	of a regex which conflict with the validation definitions. Although
	workarounds can be made, they take away from using pure regex's.
	Furthermore it's quick and dirty but the regex's become harder to
	maintain and are not reusable, so it's as much a programming philosophy
	as anything.

	In place of this new validator functions should be created; a regex can
	be used within the validator function and even be precompiled for better
	efficiency within regexes.go.

	And the best reason, you can submit a pull request and we can keep on
	adding to the validation library of this package!

A collection of validation rules that are frequently needed but are more complex than the ones found in the baked in validators. A non standard validator must be registered manually like you would with your own custom validation functions.

Example of registration and use:

type Test struct {
	TestField string `validate:"yourtag"`
}

t := &Test{
	TestField: "Test"
}

validate := validator.New()
validate.RegisterValidation("yourtag", validators.NotBlank)

Here is a list of the current non standard validators:

NotBlank
	This validates that the value is not blank or with length zero.
	For strings ensures they do not contain only spaces. For channels, maps, slices and arrays
	ensures they don't have zero length. For others, a non empty value is required.

	Usage: notblank

This package panics when bad input is provided, this is by design, bad code like that should not make it to production.

type Test struct {
	TestField string `validate:"nonexistantfunction=1"`
}

t := &Test{
	TestField: "Test"
}

validate.Struct(t) // this will panic
