_This is a modified version based off [`github.com/go-playground/validator/v10`](https://github.com/go-playground/validator) to have better i18n support for the [binding](https://github.com/flamego/binding) middleware._

Package validator implements value validations for structs and individual fields based on tags.

It has the following **unique** features:

- Cross Field and Cross Struct validations by using validation tags or custom validators.
- Slice, Array and Map diving, which allows any or all levels of a multidimensional field to be validated.
- Ability to dive into both map keys and values for validation
- Handles type interface by determining it's underlying type prior to validation.
- Handles custom field types such as sql driver Valuer see [Valuer](https://golang.org/src/database/sql/driver/types.go?s=1210:1293#L29)
- Alias validation tags, which allows for mapping of several validations to a single tag for easier defining of validations on structs
- Extraction of custom defined Field Name e.g. can specify to extract the JSON name while validating and have it available in the resulting FieldError
- Customizable i18n aware error messages.

## Installation

The minimum requirement of Go is **1.16**.

go get github.com/flamego/validator

## Error return value

Validation functions return type error to avoid the issue discussed in the following, where err is always != nil:

* http://stackoverflow.com/a/29138676/3158232
* https://github.com/go-playground/validator/issues/134

Validator returns only InvalidValidationError for bad validation input, nil or ValidationErrors as type error; so, in your code all you need to do is check if the error returned is not nil, and if it's not check if error is InvalidValidationError ( if necessary, most of the time it isn't ) type cast it to type ValidationErrors like so:

```go
err := validate.Struct(mystruct)
validationErrors := err.(validator.ValidationErrors)
```

## Usage and documentation
