How can I generate model with exported model validation methods?

[abdullahskartal]

I have swagger.yaml like

CreateUser:
  type: object
  properties:
    firstName:
      type: string
      maxLength: 32

When I generate model with generate model there is a Validate() method for use validation but I need to validate parameters one by one into the handler. For instance my generated model like;

func (m *CreateUser) validateFirstName(formats strfmt.Registry) error {

	if err := validate.Required("firstName", "body", m.FirstName); err != nil {
		return err
	}

	if err := validate.MaxLength("firstName", "body", *m.FirstName, 32); err != nil {
		return err
	}

	return nil
}

I need to access validateFirstName method from outside to model file but validateFirstName method is unexported.

We don't export those fields but field validations stop on the first error for a single field. The validation errors have the field name so you can still return the error for a single field.
