From 6d913fc343cfac80d656db5be67a0ffb1323ba0d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Suhas Karanth Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2018 12:03:07 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] fix(binding): Expose validator engine used by the default Validator (#1277) * fix(binding): Expose validator engine used by the default Validator - Add func ValidatorEngine for returning the underlying validator engine used in the default StructValidator implementation. - Remove the function RegisterValidation from the StructValidator interface which made it immpossible to use a StructValidator implementation without the validator.v8 library. - Update and rename test for registering validation Test{RegisterValidation => ValidatorEngine}. - Update readme and example for registering custom validation. - Add example for registering struct level validation. - Add documentation for the following binding funcs/types: - Binding interface - StructValidator interface - Validator instance - Binding implementations - Default func * fix(binding): Move validator engine getter inside interface * docs: rm date cmd from custom validation demo --- README.md | 13 +++-- binding/binding.go | 23 +++++--- binding/default_validator.go | 8 ++- binding/json.go | 3 ++ binding/validate_test.go | 9 ++-- examples/custom-validation/server.go | 6 ++- examples/struct-lvl-validations/README.md | 50 ++++++++++++++++++ examples/struct-lvl-validations/server.go | 64 +++++++++++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 161 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) create mode 100644 examples/struct-lvl-validations/README.md create mode 100644 examples/struct-lvl-validations/server.go diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 72ac99bd..7dd7f734 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -564,7 +564,11 @@ func bookableDate( func main() { route := gin.Default() - binding.Validator.RegisterValidation("bookabledate", bookableDate) + + if v, ok := binding.Validator.Engine().(*validator.Validate); ok { + v.RegisterValidation("bookabledate", bookableDate) + } + route.GET("/bookable", getBookable) route.Run(":8085") } @@ -580,13 +584,16 @@ func getBookable(c *gin.Context) { ``` ```console -$ curl "localhost:8085/bookable?check_in=2017-08-16&check_out=2017-08-17" +$ curl "localhost:8085/bookable?check_in=2018-04-16&check_out=2018-04-17" {"message":"Booking dates are valid!"} -$ curl "localhost:8085/bookable?check_in=2017-08-15&check_out=2017-08-16" +$ curl "localhost:8085/bookable?check_in=2018-03-08&check_out=2018-03-09" {"error":"Key: 'Booking.CheckIn' Error:Field validation for 'CheckIn' failed on the 'bookabledate' tag"} ``` +[Struct level validations](https://github.com/go-playground/validator/releases/tag/v8.7) can also be registed this way. +See the [struct-lvl-validation example](examples/struct-lvl-validations) to learn more. + ### Only Bind Query String `ShouldBindQuery` function only binds the query params and not the post data.
