Usage

• Full model example
• Numeric examples or string examples
• Numeric benchmarks or string benchmarks
• Numeric tests or string tests
• Generic tests

Basic model implementation:

// ExampleModel shows inline validations via the struct tag
type ExampleModel struct {
    Age             uint    `validation:"min=18"`
    Category        string  `validation:"min_length=5 max_length=10"`
    Email           string  `validation:"format=email"`
    Name            string  `validation:"format=regexp:[A-Z][a-z]{3,12}"`
    Password        string  `validation:"compare=PasswordConfirm"`
    PasswordConfirm string  `json:"-"`
    Quantity        uint    `validation:"min=1 max=5"`
    Total           float32 `validation:"min=0"`
}

// Example showing extra validation functions for additional use
ok, err := validate.IsValidEmail("someones@email.com")
if !ok {
    errs = append(errs, validate.ValidationError{
        Key:     "Email",
        Message: err.Error(),
    })
}
