A package of validators and sanitizers for strings, structs and collections. Based on validator.js.

Installation

Make sure that Go is installed on your computer. Type the following command in your terminal:

go get github.com/asaskevich/govalidator

or you can get specified release of the package with gopkg.in:

go get gopkg.in/asaskevich/govalidator.v4

After it the package is ready to use.

Import package in your project

Add following line in your *.go file:

import "github.com/asaskevich/govalidator"

If you are unhappy to use long govalidator, you can do something like this:

import (
  valid "github.com/asaskevich/govalidator"
)
Activate behavior to require all fields have a validation tag by default

SetFieldsRequiredByDefault causes validation to fail when struct fields do not include validations or are not explicitly marked as exempt (using valid:"-" or valid:"email,optional"). A good place to activate this is a package init function or the main() function.

import "github.com/asaskevich/govalidator"

func init() {
  govalidator.SetFieldsRequiredByDefault(true)
}

Here's some code to explain it:

// this struct definition will fail govalidator.ValidateStruct() (and the field values do not matter):
type exampleStruct struct {
  Name  string ``
  Email string `valid:"email"`
}

// this, however, will only fail when Email is empty or an invalid email address:
type exampleStruct2 struct {
  Name  string `valid:"-"`
  Email string `valid:"email"`
}

// lastly, this will only fail when Email is an invalid email address but not when it's empty:
type exampleStruct2 struct {
  Name  string `valid:"-"`
  Email string `valid:"email,optional"`
}
Recent breaking changes (see #123)
Custom validator function signature

A context was added as the second parameter, for structs this is the object being validated – this makes dependent validation possible.

import "github.com/asaskevich/govalidator"

// old signature
func(i interface{}) bool

// new signature
func(i interface{}, o interface{}) bool
Adding a custom validator

This was changed to prevent data races when accessing custom validators.

import "github.com/asaskevich/govalidator"

// before
govalidator.CustomTypeTagMap["customByteArrayValidator"] = CustomTypeValidator(func(i interface{}, o interface{}) bool {
  // ...
})

// after
govalidator.CustomTypeTagMap.Set("customByteArrayValidator", CustomTypeValidator(func(i interface{}, o interface{}) bool {
  // ...
}))

Each, Map, Filter, Count for slices

Each iterates over the slice/array and calls Iterator for every item

data := []interface{}{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
var fn govalidator.Iterator = func(value interface{}, index int) {
	println(value.(int))
}
govalidator.Each(data, fn)

data := []interface{}{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
var fn govalidator.ResultIterator = func(value interface{}, index int) interface{} {
	return value.(int) * 3
}
_ = govalidator.Map(data, fn) // result = []interface{}{1, 6, 9, 12, 15}

data := []interface{}{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
var fn govalidator.ConditionIterator = func(value interface{}, index int) bool {
	return value.(int)%2 == 0
}
_ = govalidator.Filter(data, fn) // result = []interface{}{2, 4, 6, 8, 10}
_ = govalidator.Count(data, fn) // result = 5
ValidateStruct #2

If you want to validate structs, you can use tag valid for any field in your structure. All validators used with this field in one tag are separated by comma. If you want to skip validation, place - in your tag. If you need a validator that is not on the list below, you can add it like this:

govalidator.TagMap["duck"] = govalidator.Validator(func(str string) bool {
	return str == "duck"
})

For completely custom validators (interface-based), see below.

Validators with parameters

"range(min|max)": Range,
"length(min|max)": ByteLength,
"runelength(min|max)": RuneLength,
"matches(pattern)": StringMatches,
"in(string1|string2|...|stringN)": IsIn,
"inintarr(string1|string2|...|stringN)": InIntArr,

And here is small example of usage:

type Post struct {
	Title    string `valid:"alphanum,required"`
	Message  string `valid:"duck,ascii"`
	AuthorIP string `valid:"ipv4"`
	Date     string `valid:"-"`
}
post := &Post{
	Title:   "My Example Post",
	Message: "duck",
	AuthorIP: "123.234.54.3",
}

// Add your own struct validation tags
govalidator.TagMap["duck"] = govalidator.Validator(func(str string) bool {
	return str == "duck"
})

result, err := govalidator.ValidateStruct(post)
if err != nil {
	println("error: " + err.Error())
}
println(result)
WhiteList
// Remove all characters from string ignoring characters between "a" and "z"
println(govalidator.WhiteList("a3a43a5a4a3a2a23a4a5a4a3a4", "a-z") == "aaaaaaaaaaaa")
Custom validation functions

Custom validation using your own domain specific validators is also available - here's an example of how to use it:

import "github.com/asaskevich/govalidator"

type CustomByteArray [6]byte // custom types are supported and can be validated

type StructWithCustomByteArray struct {
  ID              CustomByteArray `valid:"customByteArrayValidator,customMinLengthValidator"` // multiple custom validators are possible as well and will be evaluated in sequence
  Email           string          `valid:"email"`
  CustomMinLength int             `valid:"-"`
}

govalidator.CustomTypeTagMap.Set("customByteArrayValidator", CustomTypeValidator(func(i interface{}, context interface{}) bool {
  switch v := context.(type) { // you can type switch on the context interface being validated
  case StructWithCustomByteArray:
    // you can check and validate against some other field in the context,
    // return early or not validate against the context at all – your choice
  case SomeOtherType:
    // ...
  default:
    // expecting some other type? Throw/panic here or continue
  }

  switch v := i.(type) { // type switch on the struct field being validated
  case CustomByteArray:
    for _, e := range v { // this validator checks that the byte array is not empty, i.e. not all zeroes
      if e != 0 {
        return true
      }
    }
  }
  return false
}))
govalidator.CustomTypeTagMap.Set("customMinLengthValidator", CustomTypeValidator(func(i interface{}, context interface{}) bool {
  switch v := context.(type) { // this validates a field against the value in another field, i.e. dependent validation
  case StructWithCustomByteArray:
    return len(v.ID) >= v.CustomMinLength
  }
  return false
}))
Custom error messages

Custom error messages are supported via annotations by adding the ~ separator - here's an example of how to use it:

type Ticket struct {
  Id        int64     `json:"id"`
  FirstName string    `json:"firstname" valid:"required~First name is blank"`
}

Support

If you do have a contribution to the package, feel free to create a Pull Request or an Issue.

What to contribute

If you don't know what to do, there are some features and functions that need to be done

  • Refactor code
  • Edit docs and README: spellcheck, grammar and typo check
  • Create actual list of contributors and projects that currently using this package
  • Resolve issues and bugs
  • Update actual list of functions
  • Update list of validators that available for ValidateStruct and add new
  • Implement new validators: IsFQDN, IsIMEI, IsPostalCode, IsISIN, IsISRC etc
  • Implement validation by maps
  • Implement fuzzing testing
  • Implement some struct/map/array utilities
  • Implement map/array validation
  • Implement benchmarking
  • Implement batch of examples
  • Look at forks for new features and fixes
Advice

Feel free to create what you want, but keep in mind when you implement new features:

  • Code must be clear and readable, names of variables/constants clearly describes what they are doing
  • Public functions must be documented and described in source file and added to README.md to the list of available functions
  • There are must be unit-tests for any new functions and improvements
