Validate Struct

Use the validate tag of the structure, you can quickly config a structure.

Config the struct use tags

Field translations and error messages for structs can be quickly configured using the message and label tags.

  • Support configuration field mapping through structure tag, read the value of json tag by default
  • Support configuration error message via structure's message tag
  • Support configuration field translation via structure's label tag
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"time"

	"github.com/gookit/validate"
)

// UserForm struct
type UserForm struct {
	Name     string    `validate:"required|min_len:7" message:"required:{field} is required" label:"User Name"`
	Email    string    `validate:"email" message:"email is invalid" label:"User Email"`
	Age      int       `validate:"required|int|min:1|max:99" message:"int:age must int|min:age min value is 1"`
	CreateAt int       `validate:"min:1"`
	Safe     int       `validate:"-"`
	UpdateAt time.Time `validate:"required" message:"update time is required"`
	Code     string    `validate:"customValidator"`
	// ExtInfo nested struct
	ExtInfo struct{
		Homepage string `validate:"required" label:"Home Page"`
		CityName string
	} `validate:"required" label:"Home Page"`
}

// CustomValidator custom validator in the source struct.
func (f UserForm) CustomValidator(val string) bool {
	return len(val) == 4
}

Config validate use struct methods

validate provides extended functionality:

The struct can implement three interfaces methods, which is convenient to do some customization:

  • ConfigValidation(v *Validation) will be called after the validator instance is created
  • Messages() map[string]string can customize the validator error message
  • Translates() map[string]string can customize field translation
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"time"

	"github.com/gookit/validate"
)

// UserForm struct
type UserForm struct {
	Name     string    `validate:"required|min_len:7"`
	Email    string    `validate:"email"`
	Age      int       `validate:"required|int|min:1|max:99"`
	CreateAt int       `validate:"min:1"`
	Safe     int       `validate:"-"`
	UpdateAt time.Time `validate:"required"`
	Code     string    `validate:"customValidator"`
	// ExtInfo nested struct
	ExtInfo struct{
		Homepage string `validate:"required"`
		CityName string
	} `validate:"required"`
}

// CustomValidator custom validator in the source struct.
func (f UserForm) CustomValidator(val string) bool {
	return len(val) == 4
}

// ConfigValidation config the Validation
// eg:
// - define validate scenes
func (f UserForm) ConfigValidation(v *validate.Validation) {
	v.WithScenes(validate.SValues{
		"add":    []string{"ExtInfo.Homepage", "Name", "Code"},
		"update": []string{"ExtInfo.CityName", "Name"},
	})
}

// Messages you can custom validator error messages. 
func (f UserForm) Messages() map[string]string {
	return validate.MS{
		"required": "oh! the {field} is required",
		"email": "email is invalid",
		"Name.required": "message for special field",
		"Age.int": "age must int",
		"Age.min": "age min value is 1",
	}
}

// Translates you can custom field translates. 
func (f UserForm) Translates() map[string]string {
	return validate.MS{
		"Name": "User Name",
		"Email": "User Email",
		"ExtInfo.Homepage": "Home Page",
	}
}

Create and validating

Can use validate.Struct(ptr) quick create a validation instance. then call v.Validate() for validating.

package main

import (
  "fmt"

  "github.com/gookit/validate"
)

func main() {
	u := &UserForm{
		Name: "inhere",
	}
	
	v := validate.Struct(u)
	// v := validate.New(u)

	if v.Validate() { // validate ok
		// do something ...
	} else {
		fmt.Println(v.Errors) // all error messages
		fmt.Println(v.Errors.One()) // returns a random error message text
		fmt.Println(v.Errors.OneError()) // returns a random error
		fmt.Println(v.Errors.Field("Name")) // returns error messages of the field 
	}
}

Validate Map

You can also validate a MAP data directly.

package main

import (
"fmt"

"github.com/gookit/validate"
)

func main()  {
	m := map[string]any{
		"name":  "inhere",
		"age":   100,
		"oldSt": 1,
		"newSt": 2,
		"email": "some@email.com",
		"tags": []string{"go", "php", "java"},
	}

	v := validate.Map(m)
	// v := validate.New(m)
	v.AddRule("name", "required")
	v.AddRule("name", "minLen", 7)
	v.AddRule("age", "max", 99)
	v.AddRule("age", "min", 1)
	v.AddRule("email", "email")
	
	// can also
	v.StringRule("age", "required|int|min:1|max:99")
	v.StringRule("name", "required|minLen:7")
	v.StringRule("tags", "required|slice|minlen:1")
	// feat: support check sub-item in slice
	v.StringRule("tags.*", "required|string|min_len:7")

	// v.WithScenes(map[string]string{
	//	 "create": []string{"name", "email"},
	//	 "update": []string{"name"},
	// })
	
	if v.Validate() { // validate ok
		safeData := v.SafeData()
		// do something ...
	} else {
		fmt.Println(v.Errors) // all error messages
		fmt.Println(v.Errors.One()) // returns a random error message text
	}
}

Validate Request

If it is an HTTP request, you can quickly validate the data and pass the verification. Then bind the secure data to the structure.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net/http"
	"time"

	"github.com/gookit/validate"
)

// UserForm struct
type UserForm struct {
	Name     string
	Email    string
	Age      int
	CreateAt int
	Safe     int
	UpdateAt time.Time
	Code     string
}

func main()  {
	handler := http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
		data, err := validate.FromRequest(r)
		if err != nil {
			panic(err)
		}

		v := data.Create()
		// setting rules
		v.FilterRule("age", "int") // convert value to int
		
		v.AddRule("name", "required")
		v.AddRule("name", "minLen", 7)
		v.AddRule("age", "max", 99)
		v.StringRule("code", `required|regex:\d{4,6}`)

		if v.Validate() { // validate ok
			// safeData := v.SafeData()
			userForm := &UserForm{}
			v.BindSafeData(userForm)

			// do something ...
			fmt.Println(userForm.Name)
		} else {
			fmt.Println(v.Errors) // all error messages
			fmt.Println(v.Errors.One()) // returns a random error message text
		}
	})

	http.ListenAndServe(":8090", handler)
}

Quick Method

Quick create Validation instance.

  • New(data any, scene ...string) *Validation
  • Request(r *http.Request) *Validation
  • JSON(s string, scene ...string) *Validation
  • Struct(s any, scene ...string) *Validation
  • Map(m map[string]any, scene ...string) *Validation

Quick create DataFace instance.

  • FromMap(m map[string]any) *MapData
  • FromStruct(s any) (*StructData, error)
  • FromJSON(s string) (*MapData, error)
  • FromJSONBytes(bs []byte) (*MapData, error)
  • FromURLValues(values url.Values) *FormData
  • FromRequest(r *http.Request, maxMemoryLimit ...int64) (DataFace, error)

Create Validation from DataFace

d := FromMap(map[string]any{"key": "val"})
v := d.Validation()

Methods In Validation

  • func (v *Validation) Validate(scene ...string) bool Do validating and return is success.
  • func (v *Validation) ValidateE(scene ...string) Errors Do validating and return error.

More Usage

Validate Error

v.Errors is map data, top key is field name, value is map[string]string.

// do validating
if v.Validate() {
	return nil
}

// get errors
es := v.Errors

// check
es.Empty() // bool

// returns an random error, if no error returns nil
fmt.Println(v.Errors.OneError())
fmt.Println(v.Errors.ErrOrNil())

fmt.Println(v.Errors) // all error messages
fmt.Println(v.Errors.One()) // returns a random error message text
fmt.Println(v.Errors.Field("Name")) // returns error messages of the field 

Encode to JSON:

  • StopOnError=true(default), will only one error
{
    "field1": {
        "required": "error msg0"
    }
}
  • if StopOnError=false, will get multi error
{
    "field1": {
        "minLen": "error msg1",
        "required": "error msg0"
    },
    "field2": {
        "min": "error msg2"
    }
}

Global Option

You can adjust some processing logic of the validator by changing the global option settings.

// GlobalOption settings for validate
type GlobalOption struct {
	// FilterTag name in the struct tags.
	//
	// default: filter
	FilterTag string
	// ValidateTag in the struct tags.
	//
	// default: validate
	ValidateTag string
	// FieldTag the output field name in the struct tags.
	// it as placeholder on error message.
	//
	// default: json
	FieldTag string
	// LabelTag the display name in the struct tags.
	// use for define field translate name on error.
	//
	// default: label
	LabelTag string
	// MessageTag define error message for the field.
	//
	// default: message
	MessageTag string
	// StopOnError If true: An error occurs, it will cease to continue to verify
	StopOnError bool
	// SkipOnEmpty Skip check on field not exist or value is empty
	SkipOnEmpty bool
	// UpdateSource Whether to update source field value, useful for struct validate
	UpdateSource bool
	// CheckDefault Whether to validate the default value set by the user
	CheckDefault bool
	// CheckZero Whether validate the default zero value. (intX,uintX: 0, string: "")
	CheckZero bool
	// CheckSubOnParentMarked True: only collect sub-struct rule on current field has rule.
	CheckSubOnParentMarked bool
	// ValidatePrivateFields Whether to validate private fields or not, especially when inheriting other other structs.
	//
	//  type foo struct {
	//	  Field int `json:"field" validate:"required"`
	//  }
	//  type bar struct {
	//    foo // <-- validate this field
	//    Field2 int `json:"field2" validate:"required"`
	//  }
	//
	// default: false
	ValidatePrivateFields bool
}

Usage:

// change global opts
validate.Config(func(opt *validate.GlobalOption) {
	opt.StopOnError = false
	opt.SkipOnEmpty = false
})

Validating Private (Unexported fields)

By default, private fields are skipped. It is not uncommon to find code such as the following

type foo struct {
	somefield int
}

type Bar struct {
	foo
	SomeOtherField string
}

In order to have foo.somefield validated, enable the behavior by setting GlobalOption.ValidatePrivateFields to true.

validate.Config(func(opt *validate.GlobalOption) {
	opt.ValidatePrivateFields = true
})

Custom Error Messages

  • Register language messages
import "github.com/gookit/validate/locales/zhcn"

// for all Validation.
// NOTICE: must be registered before on validate.New(), it only need call at once.
zhcn.RegisterGlobal()

// ... ...

v := validate.New()

// only for current Validation
zhcn.Register(v)
  • Manual add global messages
validate.AddGlobalMessages(map[string]string{
    "minLength": "OO! {field} min length is %d",
})
  • Add messages for current validation
v := validate.New(map[string]any{
    "name": "inhere",
})
v.StringRule("name", "required|string|minLen:7|maxLen:15")

v.AddMessages(map[string]string{
    "minLength": "OO! {field} min length is %d",
    "name.minLen": "OO! username min length is %d",
})
  • Use struct tags: message, label
type UserForm struct {
    Name  string `validate:"required|minLen:7" label:"User Name"`
    Email string `validate:"email" message:"email is invalid" label:"User Email"`
}
  • Use struct method Messages()
// Messages you can custom validator error messages. 
func (f UserForm) Messages() map[string]string {
	return validate.MS{
		"required": "oh! the {field} is required",
		"Name.required": "message for special field",
	}
}

Add Custom Validator

validate supports adding custom validators, and supports adding global validator and temporary validator.

  • Global Validator is globally valid and can be used everywhere
  • Temporary Validator added to the current validation instance, only the current validation is available
  • Add verification method to the structure. How to use please see the structure verification example above

Note: The validator method must return a bool to indicate whether the validation was successful. The first parameter is the corresponding field value. If there are additional parameters, they will be appended automatically.

Add Global Validator

You can add one or more custom validators at once.

validate.AddValidator("myCheck0", func(val any) bool {
	// do validate val ...
	return true
})
validate.AddValidators(validate.M{
	"myCheck1": func(val any) bool {
		// do validate val ...
		return true
	},
})

Add Temporary Validator

Again, you can add one or more custom validators at once.

v := validate.Struct(u)
v.AddValidator("myFunc3", func(val any) bool {
	// do validate val ...
	return true
})
v.AddValidators(validate.M{
	"myFunc4": func(val any) bool {
		// do validate val ...
		return true
	},
})

Add Custom Filter

validate can also support adding custom filters, and supports adding global filter and temporary filter.

  • Global Filter is globally valid and can be used everywhere
  • Temporary Filter added to the current validation instance, only the current validation is available

TIP: for filter func, we allow functions with 1 result or 2 results where the second is an error.

Add Global Filter

You can add one or more custom validators at once.

package main

import "github.com/gookit/validate"

func init() {
	validate.AddFilter("myToIntFilter0", func(val any) int {
		// do filtering val ...
		return 1
	})
	validate.AddFilters(validate.M{
		"myToIntFilter1": func(val any) (int, error) {
			// do filtering val ...
			return 1, nil
		},
	})
}

Add Temporary Filter

Again, you can add one or more custom filters at once.

package main

import "github.com/gookit/validate"

func main() {
	v := validate.New(&someStrcut{})

	v.AddFilter("myToIntFilter0", func(val any) int {
		// do filtering val ...
		return 1
	})
	v.AddFilters(validate.M{
		"myToIntFilter1": func(val any) (int, error) {
			// do filtering val ...
			return 1, nil
		},
	})
}

Custom required validation

Allows a custom required validator to customize whether the validation is empty. However, note that the validator name must start with required, e.g. required_custom.

	type Data struct {
		Age  int    `validate:"required_custom" message:"age is required"`
		Name string `validate:"required"`
	}

	v := validate.New(&Data{
		Name: "tom",
		Age:  0,
	})

	v.AddValidator("required_custom", func(val any) bool {
		// do check value
		return false
	})

	ok := v.Validate()
	assert.False(t, ok)

Use on gin framework

Can use validate in any frameworks, such as Gin, Echo, Chi and more.

Examples on gin:

package main
import (
    "github.com/gin-gonic/gin/binding"
    "github.com/gookit/validate"
)

// implements the binding.StructValidator
type customValidator struct {}

func (c *customValidator) ValidateStruct(ptr any) error {
    v := validate.Struct(ptr)
    v.Validate() // do validating
    
    if v.Errors.Empty() {
	return nil
    }

    return v.Errors
}

func (c *customValidator) Engine() any {
    return nil
}

func main()  {
	// ...

    // after init gin, set custom validator
    binding.Validator = &customValidator{}
}
