Zius

Zius is a Golang struct validator library.

Installation

To install Zius, you can use go get:

go get github.com/vinibgoulart/zius

Usage

Here's a simple example of how to use Zius:

// Import the package
import "github.com/vinibgoulart/zius"

// Define your struct
type User struct {
    Name  string `zius:"required"`
    Email string `zius:"required,email"`
}

// Validate your struct
func ValidateUser(user User) []Error, error {
    return zius.Validate(user)
}

Getting Errors

The Validate function returns a slice of Error and an error.

errors, err := ValidateUser(user)

The Error struct has the following fields: Struct, Field, and Error.

type Error struct {
    Struct string
    Field  string
    Error  error
}

The error field contains the first error message.

Check the __examples__/with_multiple_errors/main.go file for a complete example.

Validators

Zius comes with a number of built-in validators:

• required: Ensures the field is not empty
• email: Validates that the field is a valid email address
• number: Validates that the field is a valid number
• int: Validates that the field is a valid integer
• phone: Validates that the field is a valid phone number
• regex: Validates the field against a custom regular expression
• equals: Validates the field against a custom value
• array: Validates that the field is an array
• struct: Validates that the field is a struct

Custom Messages

You can define a custom message for each validator like that:

type User struct {
    Name  string `zius:"required:Name is required"`
    Email string `zius:"required:Email is required,email:Email must be a valid email"`
}

Regex Validator

You can define a custom regular expression for the regex validator sending the regex as a parameter:

type User struct {
    Name  string `zius:"regex={^([a-zA-Z]+)$}"`
}

In the example above, the Name field will only be valid if it contains only letters.

Equals Validator

You can define a custom value for the equals validator sending the value as a parameter:

type User struct {
    Name  string `zius:"equals={John, Vinicius}"`
}

In the example above, the Name field will only be valid if it is equal to John or Vinicius.
