The following list of common methods in the document may be delayed compared to new features in the code. For more methods and examples, please refer to the code documentation: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/gogf/gf/v2/util/gvalid

New​

  • Description: New creates and returns a new object of Validator.

  • Format:

New() *Validator
  • Example:
func ExampleNew() {
      validator := gvalid.New()

      if err := validator.Data(16).Rules("min:18").Run(context.Background()); err != nil {
          fmt.Print(err)
      }

      // Output:
      // The value `16` must be equal or greater than 18
}

Run​

  • Description: Run performs validation operations on data with given rules and information.

  • Format:

Run(ctx context.Context) Error
  • Example:
func ExampleValidator_Run() {
      // check value mode
      if err := g.Validator().Data(16).Rules("min:18").Run(context.Background()); err != nil {
          fmt.Println("check value err:", err)
      }
      // check map mode
      data := map[string]interface{}{
          "passport":  "",
          "password":  "123456",
          "password2": "1234567",
      }
      rules := map[string]string{
          "passport":  "required|length:6,16",
          "password":  "required|length:6,16|same:password2",
          "password2": "required|length:6,16",
      }
      if err := g.Validator().Data(data).Rules(rules).Run(context.Background()); err != nil {
          fmt.Println("check map err:", err)
      }
      // check struct mode
      type Params struct {
          Page      int    `v:"required|min:1"`
          Size      int    `v:"required|between:1,100"`
          ProjectId string `v:"between:1,10000"`
      }
      rules = map[string]string{

      obj := &Params{
          Page: 0,
          Size: 101,
      }
      if err := g.Validator().Data(obj).Run(context.Background()); err != nil {
          fmt.Println("check struct err:", err)
      }

      // May Output:
      // check value err: The value `16` must be equal or greater than 18
      // check map err: The passport field is required; The passport value `` length must be between 6 and 16; The password value `123456` must be the same as field password2
      // check struct err: The Page value `0` must be equal or greater than 1; The Size value `101` must be between 1 and 100
}

Clone​

  • Description: Clone creates and returns a value copy object of the current Validator.

  • Format:

(v *Validator) Clone() *Validator
  • Example:
func ExampleValidator_Clone() {
      if err := g.Validator().Data(16).Rules("min:18").Run(context.Background()); err != nil {
          fmt.Println(err)
      }

      if err := g.Validator().Clone().Data(20).Run(context.Background()); err != nil {
          fmt.Println(err)
      } else {
          fmt.Println("Check Success!")
      }

      // Output:
      // The value `16` must be equal or greater than 18
      // Check Success!
}

I18n​

  • Description: The I18n method is used to set the I18N internationalization component for the current validation object. By default, the validation component uses the framework's global default i18n component object.

  • Format:

I18n(i18nManager *gi18n.Manager) *Validator
  • Example:
func ExampleValidator_I18n() {
      var (
          i18nManager = gi18n.New()
          ctxCn       = gi18n.WithLanguage(context.Background(), "cn")
          validator   = gvalid.New()
      )

      validator = validator.Data(16).Rules("min:18")

      if err := validator.Run(context.Background()); err != nil {
          fmt.Println(err)
      }

      if err := validator.I18n(i18nManager).Run(ctxCn); err != nil {
          fmt.Println(err)
      }

      // Output:
      // The value `16` must be equal or greater than 18
      // 字段值`16`字段最小值应当为18
}

Bail​

  • Description: The Bail method is used to set that if any rule fails in subsequent validations, it stops validation immediately and returns the error result.

  • Format:

Bail() *Validator
  • Example:
func ExampleValidator_Bail() {
      type BizReq struct {
          Account   string `v:"required|length:6,16|same:QQ"`
          QQ        string
          Password  string `v:"required|same:Password2"`
          Password2 string `v:"required"`
      }
      var (
          ctx = context.Background()
          req = BizReq{
              Account:   "gf",
              QQ:        "123456",
              Password:  "goframe.org",
              Password2: "goframe.org",
          }
      )

      if err := g.Validator().Bail().Data(req).Run(ctx); err != nil {
          fmt.Println("Use Bail Error:", err)
      }

      if err := g.Validator().Data(req).Run(ctx); err != nil {
          fmt.Println("Not Use Bail Error:", err)
      }

      // output:
      // Use Bail Error: The Account value `gf` length must be between 6 and 16
      // Not Use Bail Error: The Account value `gf` length must be between 6 and 16; The Account value `gf` must be the same as field QQ
}

Ci​

  • Description: The Ci method is used to set case-insensitive comparison when requiring value comparison in rules.

  • Format:

Ci() *Validator
  • Example:
func ExampleValidator_Ci() {

      type BizReq struct {
          Account   string `v:"required"`
          Password  string `v:"required|same:Password2"`
          Password2 string `v:"required"`
      }

      var (
          ctx = context.Background()
          req = BizReq{
              Account:   "gf",
              Password:  "Goframe.org", // Diff from Password2, but because of "ci", rule check passed
              Password2: "goframe.org",
          }
      )

      if err := g.Validator().Data(req).Run(ctx); err != nil {
          fmt.Println("Not Use CI Error:", err)
      }

      if err := g.Validator().Ci().Data(req).Run(ctx); err == nil {
          fmt.Println("Use CI Passed!")
      }

      // output:
      // Not Use CI Error: The Password value `Goframe.org` must be the same as field Password2
      // Use CI Passed!
}

Data​

  • Description: The Data method is used to provide data that needs to be jointly validated.

  • Format:

Data(data interface{}) *Validator
  • Example:
func ExampleValidator_Data() {
      type BizReq struct {
          Password1 string `v:"password"`
          Password2 string `v:"password"`
      }

      var (
          ctx = context.Background()
          req = BizReq{
              Password1: "goframe",
              Password2: "gofra", // error length between 6 and 18
          }
      )
      if err := g.Validator().Data(req).Run(ctx); err != nil {
          fmt.Print(err)
      }

      // Output:
      // The Password2 value `gofra` is not a valid password format
}

Assoc​

  • Description: Assoc is a chain operation function that sets validation data for the current Validator. The parameter assoc is usually of type map, specifying the value of union validator in the map.

  • Note: Using a non-nil assoc parameter will set the useDataInsteadOfObjectAttributes attribute to true.

  • Format:

Assoc(assoc interface{}) *Validator
  • Example:
func ExampleValidator_Assoc() {

      type User struct {
          Name string `v:"required"`

          "name": "john",
      }

      user := User{}

      if err := gconv.Scan(data, &user); err != nil {
          panic(err)
      }

      if err := g.Validator().Data(user).Assoc(data).Run(context.Background()); err != nil {
          fmt.Print(err)
      }

      // Output:
      // The Type field is required
}

Rules​

  • Description: The Rules method is used to provide custom validation rules for the current chain operation validation.

  • Format:

      if err := g.Validator().Data(16).Rules("min:18").Run(context.Background()); err != nil {
          fmt.Println(err)
      }

      // Output:
      // The value `16` must be equal or greater than 18
}

Message​

  • Description: The Messages method is used to provide custom error messages for the current chain operation validation.

  • Format:

Messages(messages interface{}) *Validator
  • Example:
func ExampleValidator_Messages() {
      if err := g.Validator().Data(16).Rules("min:18").Messages("Can not regist, Age is less then 18!").Run(context.Background()); err != nil {
          fmt.Println(err)
      }
