govalidator

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

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

import (
	valid "github.com/asaskevich/govalidator"
)

Examples

IsURL

println(govalidator.IsURL(`http://user@pass:domain.com/path/page`))

ToString

type User struct {
	FirstName string
	LastName string
}

str, _ := govalidator.ToString(&User{"John", "Juan"})
println(str)

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"
})

Here is a list of available validators for struct fields (validator - used function):

"alpha":          IsAlpha,
"alphanum":       IsAlphanumeric,
"ascii":          IsASCII,
"base64":         IsBase64,
"creditcard":     IsCreditCard,
"datauri":        IsDataURI,
"email":          IsEmail,
"float":          IsFloat,
"fullwidth":      IsFullWidth,
"halfwidth":      IsHalfWidth,
"hexadecimal":    IsHexadecimal,
"hexcolor":       IsHexcolor,
"int":            IsInt,
"ip":             IsIP,
"ipv4":           IsIPv4,
"ipv6":           IsIPv6,
"isbn10":         IsISBN10,
"isbn13":         IsISBN13,
"json":           IsJSON,
"latitude":       IsLatitude,
"longitude":      IsLongitude,
"lowercase":      IsLowerCase,
"mac":            IsMAC,
"multibyte":      IsMultibyte,
"null":           IsNull,
"numeric":        IsNumeric,
"printableascii": IsPrintableASCII,
"requri":         IsRequestURI,
"requrl":         IsRequestURL,
"rgbcolor":       IsRGBcolor,
"ssn":            IsSSN,
"semver":         IsSemver,
"uppercase":      IsUpperCase,
"url":            IsURL,
"utfdigit":       IsUTFDigit,
"utfletter":      IsUTFLetter,
"utfletternum":   IsUTFLetterNumeric,
"utfnumeric":     IsUTFNumeric,
"uuid":           IsUUID,
"uuidv3":         IsUUIDv3,
"uuidv4":         IsUUIDv4,
"uuidv5":         IsUUIDv5,
"variablewidth":  IsVariableWidth,

Validators with parameters

"length(min|max)": ByteLength,
"matches(pattern)": StringMatches,

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")
