validator

A powerful validator that supports struct tag expression.

Feature

• Support for a variety of common operator
• Support for accessing arrays, slices, members of the dictionary
• Support access to any field in the current structure
• Support access to nested fields, non-exported fields, etc.
• Support registers validator function expression
• Built-in len, sprintf, regexp, email, phone functions
• Support simple mode, or specify error message mode
• Use offset pointers to directly take values, better performance
• Required go version ≥1.9

Example

package validator_test

import (
	"fmt"

	vd "github.com/bytedance/go-tagexpr/validator"
)

func Example() {
	type InfoRequest struct {
		Name   string `vd:"($!='Alice'||(Age)$==18) && regexp('\\w')"`
		Age    int    `vd:"$>0"`
		Email  string `vd:"email($)"`
		Phone1 string `vd:"phone($)"`
		Phone2 string `vd:"phone($,'CN')"`
	}
	info := InfoRequest{
		Name:   "Alice",
		Age:    18,
		Email:  "henrylee2cn@gmail.com",
		Phone1: "+8618812345678",
		Phone2: "18812345678",
	}
	fmt.Println(vd.Validate(info) == nil)

	type A struct {
		A    int `vd:"$<0||$>=100"`
		Info interface{}
	}
	info.Email = "xxx"
	a := &A{A: 107, Info: info}
	fmt.Println(vd.Validate(a))

	type B struct {
		B string `vd:"len($)>1 && regexp('^\\w*$')"`
	}
	b := &B{"abc"}
	fmt.Println(vd.Validate(b) == nil)

	type C struct {
		C bool `vd:"@:(S.A)$>0 && !$; msg:'C must be false when S.A>0'"`
		S *A
	}
	c := &C{C: true, S: a}
	fmt.Println(vd.Validate(c))

	type D struct {
		d []string `vd:"@:len($)>0 && $[0]=='D'; msg:sprintf('invalid d: %v',$)"`
	}
	d := &D{d: []string{"x", "y"}}
	fmt.Println(vd.Validate(d))

	type E struct {
		e map[string]int `vd:"len($)==$['len']"`
	}
	e := &E{map[string]int{"len": 2}}
	fmt.Println(vd.Validate(e))

	// Customizes the factory of validation error.
	vd.SetErrorFactory(func(failPath, msg string) error {
		return fmt.Errorf(`{"succ":false, "error":"validation failed: %s"}`, failPath)
	})

	type F struct {
		f struct {
			g int `vd:"$%3==0"`
		}
	}
	f := &F{}
	f.f.g = 10
	fmt.Println(vd.Validate(f))

	fmt.Println(vd.Validate(map[string]*F{"a": f}))

}

Syntax

Struct tag syntax spec:

type T struct {
	// Simple model
    Field1 T1 `tagName:"expression"`
	// Specify error message mode
    Field2 T2 `tagName:"@:expression; msg:expression2"`
	// Omit it
    Field3 T3 `tagName:"-"`
    // Omit it when it is nil
    Field4 T4 `tagName:"?"`
    ...
}

	// Customizes the factory of validation error.
	vd.SetErrorFactory(func(failPath, msg string) error {

}

Output:

true
invalid parameter: Email
true
C must be false when S.A>0
invalid d: [x y]
invalid parameter: e
{"succ":false, "error":"validation failed: f.g"}
{"succ":false, "error":"validation failed: a/f.g"}

Constants

const (
	// MatchExprName the name of the expression used for validation
	MatchExprName = tagexpr.DefaultExprName

	// returned when validation failed
	ErrMsgExprName = "msg"

Functions

func RegFunc

func RegFunc(funcName string, fn func(args ...interface{}) bool, force ...bool) error

RegFunc registers validator function expression. NOTE:

example: phone($) or phone($,'CN');
If @force=true, allow to cover the existed same @funcName;
The go number types always are float64;
The go string types always are string.

func SetErrorFactory

func SetErrorFactory(errFactory func(fieldSelector, msg string) error)

SetErrorFactory customizes the factory of validation error for the default validator. NOTE:

The tag name is 'vd'

func Validate

func Validate(value interface{}) error

Validate uses the default validator to validate whether the fields of value is valid. NOTE:

The tag name is 'vd'

Types

type Error

type Error struct {
	FailPath, Msg string
}

Error validate error

func (*Error) Error

func (e *Error) Error() string

Error implements error interface.

type Validator

type Validator struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Validator struct fields validator

func Default

func Default() *Validator

Default returns the default validator. NOTE:

The tag name is 'vd'

func New

func New(tagName string) *Validator

New creates a struct fields validator.

func (*Validator) SetErrorFactory

func (v *Validator) SetErrorFactory(errFactory func(failPath, msg string) error) *Validator

SetErrorFactory customizes the factory of validation error. NOTE:

If errFactory==nil, the default is used

func (*Validator) VM

func (v *Validator) VM() *tagexpr.VM

VM returns the struct tag expression interpreter.

func (*Validator) Validate

func (v *Validator) Validate(value interface{}) error

Validate validates whether the fields of value is valid.
