[Go] Package of validators and sanitizers for strings, numerics, slices and structs

Last update: Dec 28, 2022

Overview

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

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

go get gopkg.in/asaskevich/govalidator.v10

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.

SetNilPtrAllowedByRequired causes validation to pass when struct fields marked by required are set to nil. This is disabled by default for consistency, but some packages that need to be able to determine between nil and zero value state can use this. If disabled, both nil and zero values cause validation errors.

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"] = func(i interface{}, o interface{}) bool {
  // ...
}

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

Examples

IsURL

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

IsType

println(govalidator.IsType("Bob", "string"))
println(govalidator.IsType(1, "int"))
i := 1
println(govalidator.IsType(&i, "*int"))

IsType can be used through the tag type which is essential for map validation:

type User	struct {
  Name string      `valid:"type(string)"`
  Age  int         `valid:"type(int)"`
  Meta interface{} `valid:"type(string)"`
}
result, err := govalidator.ValidateStruct(User{"Bob", 20, "meta"})
if err != nil {
	println("error: " + err.Error())
}
println(result)

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"
})

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

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

Validators with parameters

"range(min|max)": Range,
"length(min|max)": ByteLength,
"runelength(min|max)": RuneLength,
"stringlength(min|max)": StringLength,
"matches(pattern)": StringMatches,
"in(string1|string2|...|stringN)": IsIn,
"rsapub(keylength)" : IsRsaPub,
"minstringlength(int): MinStringLength,
"maxstringlength(int): MaxStringLength,

Validators with parameters for any type

"type(type)": IsType,

And here is small example of usage:

type Post struct {
	Title    string `valid:"alphanum,required"`
	Message  string `valid:"duck,ascii"`
	Message2 string `valid:"animal(dog)"`
	AuthorIP string `valid:"ipv4"`
	Date     string `valid:"-"`
}
post := &Post{
	Title:   "My Example Post",
	Message: "duck",
	Message2: "dog",
	AuthorIP: "123.234.54.3",
}

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

// Add your own struct validation tags with parameter
govalidator.ParamTagMap["animal"] = govalidator.ParamValidator(func(str string, params ...string) bool {
    species := params[0]
    return str == species
})
govalidator.ParamTagRegexMap["animal"] = regexp.MustCompile("^animal\\((\\w+)\\)$")

result, err := govalidator.ValidateStruct(post)
if err != nil {
	println("error: " + err.Error())
}
println(result)

ValidateMap #2

If you want to validate maps, you can use the map to be validated and a validation map that contain the same tags used in ValidateStruct, both maps have to be in the form map[string]interface{}

So here is small example of usage:

var mapTemplate = map[string]interface{}{
	"name":"required,alpha",
	"family":"required,alpha",
	"email":"required,email",
	"cell-phone":"numeric",
	"address":map[string]interface{}{
		"line1":"required,alphanum",
		"line2":"alphanum",
		"postal-code":"numeric",
	},
}

var inputMap = map[string]interface{}{
	"name":"Bob",
	"family":"Smith",
	"email":"[email protected]",
	"address":map[string]interface{}{
		"line1":"",
		"line2":"",
		"postal-code":"",
	},
}

result, err := govalidator.ValidateMap(inputMap, mapTemplate)
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", 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", 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
})

Loop over Error()

By default .Error() returns all errors in a single String. To access each error you can do this:

  if err != nil {
    errs := err.(govalidator.Errors).Errors()
    for _, e := range errs {
      fmt.Println(e.Error())
    }
  }

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"`
}

Notes

Documentation is available here: godoc.org. Full information about code coverage is also available here: govalidator on gocover.io.

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

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

lessEqual(value), moreEqual(value), equal(value), notEqual(value) Options on structs

Currently there are validator functions like IsInt, but sometime it could be even more helpful to restrict the values further with a min or/and a max value. I'd really like to extend.the functionality so that such checks could be done.

But as of now, I'm not that sure which approach would be the best, therefor I'd like to hear everyones opinion first. I'm open for other ideas or other approaches! This "issue" should be about how to solves this "feature request" the best!

As my idea goes I would like to introduce 4 new options: lessequal(value), moreequal(value), equal(value), notequal(value). I chose those options as every "validator" is in conjunction with each other. Therefor we can't say less(value) and equal(value) to get lessequal(value), because if "a < b" is true "a = b" can't be true, therefore the validation would always return false.

the usage would then look like this

type Foobar struct {
    number1 string `valid:"int,lessequal(5),moreequal(-10),notequal(0)"` //means -10 <= number1 <= 5 && number1 != 0
    cons6 string `valid:"int,equal(6)"` //means cons6 == 6
    number2 string `valid:"int,lessequal(5),notequal(5)"` //means number2 < 5
    name string `valid:"ascii,noequal(admin)"` //means every (ascii) name beside 'admin' is valid
    uuid string `valid:"uuid, moreequal(A0000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000)"`
}

we could even add some more options like range(min,max), but at first I'd like to concentrate on the 4 options I mentioned. If this 4 are done right, adding more should be quite easy (especially options like range(min,max))

Now about how my current approach would look like respectively how I would implement this:

First of all I would define a basic Validator struct which would be more or less the foundation of most (maybe all) validators.

//Basic Validator
type basicValidatorType struct {
    less  func(v1, v2 interface{}) bool
    more  func(v1, v2 interface{}) bool
    equal func(v1, v2 interface{}) bool
}

func (b basicValidatorType) isLessEqual(value, referenceValue string) bool {
    v, errV := b.convert(value)
    r, errR := b.convert(referenceValue)
    if errV != nil || errR != nil {
        return false
    }
    if b.equal != nil && b.equal(v, r) {
        return true
    }
    if b.equal == nil && reflect.DeepEqual(v, r) {
        return true
    }
    if b.less != nil && b.less(v, r) {
        return true
    }
    return false
}
func (b basicValidatorType) isMoreEqual(value, referenceValue string) bool {
    v, errV := b.convert(value)
    r, errR := b.convert(referenceValue)
    if errV != nil || errR != nil {
        return false
    }
    if b.equal != nil && b.equal(v, r) {
        return true
    }
    if b.equal == nil && reflect.DeepEqual(v, r) {
        return true
    }
    if b.more != nil && b.more(v, r) {
        return true
    }
    return false
}
func (b basicValidatorType) isEqual(value, referenceValue string) bool {
    v, errV := b.convert(value)
    r, errR := b.convert(referenceValue)
    if errV != nil || errR != nil {
        return false
    }
    if b.equal == nil {
        return reflect.DeepEqual(v, r)
    }
    return b.equal(v, r)
}
func (b basicValidatorType) isNotEqual(value, referenceValue string) bool {
    v, errV := b.convert(value)
    r, errR := b.convert(referenceValue)
    if errV != nil || errR != nil {
        return false
    }
    if b.equal == nil {
        return !reflect.DeepEqual(v, r)
    }
    return !b.equal(v, r)
}
func (b basicValidatorType) convert(value string) (interface{}, error) {
    return value, nil
}

The validators then would look like this (here an example of how IsInt would look like)

//ValidatorType for IsInt
type validatorInt basicValidatorType

func (v validatorInt) convert(value string) (interface{}, error) {
    valueInt, err := strconv.ParseInt(value, 10, 64)
    return valueInt, err
}

var intValidator = validatorInt{
    //less
    func(v1, v2 interface{}) bool {
        int1, ok1 := v1.(int64)
        int2, ok2 := v2.(int64)
        if ok1 != true || ok2 != true {
            return false
        }
        return int1 < int2
    },
    //more
    func(v1, v2 interface{}) bool {
        int1, ok1 := v1.(int64)
        int2, ok2 := v2.(int64)
        if ok1 != true || ok2 != true {
            return false
        }
        return int1 > int2
    },
    //equal
    func(v1, v2 interface{}) bool {
        int1, ok1 := v1.(int64)
        int2, ok2 := v2.(int64)
        if ok1 != true || ok2 != true {
            return false
        }
        return int1 == int2
    },
}

func IsInt(str string) bool {
    _, err := intValidator.convert(str)

}

To do all this I would need (IMO) to rebuild the whole validation process as shown in my example of IsInt. Rebuilden the whole code is something I'd like to avoid, therefor the questions are, if anyone has a better solution/approach or some ideas how to reduce code or the need to change code with my idea?

Things I currently don't like on my idea but haven't found better solutions:

To much heap allocations (e.g var intValidator)

Validate empty values
Currently govalidator skips validation of zero numbers, empty strings, and other zero values of any type. It treats them as always valid. On the other hand, govalidator errs when a 'required' field has a zero value which disallows entering zero values into required fields.

The goal of this PR is to solve both problems: to validate zero values and to allow 'required' fields to have zero/empty values.

The main idea is to skip validation only when we are sure that a value is a nil-value (we can distinguish nil values from zero/empty values only for pointers, interfaces, maps, and slices; we consider all other values as non-nil values). All non-nil values are being validated. The 'required` validator errs only for nil values.

If one wants to check that some required string or number is given, he/she can declare them as pointers:

type MyStruct struct { Name *string `valid:"required"` Number *int `valid:"required"` }

This will fail when Name and/or Number are not given or equal to nil.

When one wants to disallow empty strings, it's still possible to use the runelength validator. And there is also the range validator for numeric values.

This PR fixes #276, #274, (probably) #260, #256, #246, (probably) #149, (probably) #136, #130.

Validating struct inside struct where the kind of nested struct field is a pointer
If the nested struct kind is a pointer/slice, it is not caught at validator.go:580

if valueField.Kind() == reflect.Struct { var err error structResult, err = ValidateStruct(valueField.Interface()) if err != nil { errs = append(errs, err) } }

Is that intentionally left out? If not, it would be awesome if that feature could be added.

Fix validator processing errors
The following bugs have been fixed:

ValidateStruct() didn't return an error if an invalid validator was specified in the struct validation tags.

Built-in validators weren't processed when a custom validator was specified.

This commit adds a check which ensures that the value is checked against all specified validators before return that the value is valid.

IsUTFDigit accepting some Strings it (IMO) shouldn't

The IsUTFDigit accepts strings which contains non valid Digit character or aren't even valid numbers.

IsUTFDigit accepts: "-1" "1-1" "-" "--------1" "1---" IsUTFDigits rejects: "+1" "1+1" "+" "+++++++1" "1+++"

The question here is, what is the intended reaction of the IsUTFDigit function.

(Enhancement) Validator: Adding more concrete base64 validation, Enabling []int validation

The current base64 validator makes a few assumptions about the nature of the base 64 string as a result of using regex. By using Go's build in base64 lib we circumvent the regex as well as adding full functionally to validate both standard base64 strings and raw base64 strings. This is an additive string, which allows for full backwards capabilities.

(Enhancement) Validator: Validating contents of []int … Adding a new type to enable the ability to validate what's inside of an int slice. This is important for structured API documentation, when the items in the slice should be known integers. I didn't implement the other slice types as I don't have a use case for them, but it should be easy enough to extend. This is not a breaking change.

_ in URL makes them invalid
See https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/2717

From that issue: RFC 952 says that:

1. A "name" (Net, Host, Gateway, or Domain name) is a text string up to 24 characters drawn from the alphabet (A-Z), digits (0-9), minus sign (-), and period (.)

But the rule apparently isn't strictly followed by DNS servers and names in an /etc/hosts file can contain underscores.

Do you have any plans to support _?

Interplay between custom validators and optional fields
As far as I understand and can surmise from the code, optional,required annotations are ignored when custom validators are defined on the same field.

For instance, if I have defined a custom validator called version which allows for regex XX.XX.XXX on this field

Version string `json:"version" valid:"optional,version"`

I expect when I am validating my struct as

_, err = govalidator.ValidateStruct(<struct>)

empty string will be allowed, but it is not!

I wonder why the design decision was made this way?

It is most inconvenient and requires users to always handle the empty field case explicitly. It is confusing that the validator which is a part of a standard library

Email string `json:"email" valid:"optional,email"`

will work correctly with empty string, but a custom validator

Version string `json:"version" valid:"optional,version"`

does not!

Change struct validator's separator between validators from "," to "\n"
Hi,

This change started with the issue that trying to use struct validation using valid:matches(^.{3,}$),required to match any string with at least three characters, the problem is that it includes a comma in the expression.

In this case, the tagParser() breaks this down as:

matches(^.{3

}$)

required

Furthermore, since the first two expressions are not recognized, they are ignored silently, and you have to be careful your validations are not being ignored.

The solution proposed is to change the "," as separator and turn the above struct validation valid:matches(^{.3,}$)\nrequired; The \n character is seldom used in regular expressions matching a single line wo it looks like a better choice, although not standard. The other option is to write a parser that takes this issue into account but would take more time I don't really have at this time.

Please comment on what you guys think.

Great piece of code, by the way!

Regards,

GM

Is this project abandoned? Is there an active fork of this repo?

This is the second highest starred validation package in Go, but it appears there is no maintainer or activity on this repo.

I would use go-playground/validator (the highest starred validation package I could find), however it's not suitable for my use-case as I cannot define custom errors per field, whereas asaskevich/govalidator does support this.

Is there an active fork of this repo?

Do not put any limit on maximum URL length

Limitation : Current implementation of IsURL function simply returns false (URL as invalid) if length of URL is more than 2082 runes/characters. It does not check if the URL is valid based on regex and URL-parsing.

Approach Remove the if-check present on maximum length and allow the function to check if the URL is valid based on regex and URL-parsing.

IsRequestURI fails for non-absolute URLs

Bug Report

| Q | A |------------ | ------ | Version(s) | v11.0.1 and earlier?

Summary

APIs that return relative URIs fail to validate as url.ParseRequestURI is used instead of url.Parse. ParseRequestURI is documented as:

... the url is interpreted only as an absolute URI or an absolute path.

Current behavior

Relative URIs fail validation (e.g. ./some-path)

How to reproduce

Attempt to validate a relative URI. (e.g. ./some-path)

Expected behavior

Aboslute and relative URIs pass validation.
