validation capability

validation adds input validation to your Go service using go-playground/validator with struct tags and formatted error responses.

What You Get

• Validation rules
• Error formatting
• Field-level validation messages

When to Use

Any API that accepts external input needs validation at the boundary. Use validation to validate HTTP request payloads at the handler layer before they reach business logic. Struct tag validation reduces boilerplate and keeps rules co-located with the data structure.

Add to Your Service

verikt new my-service --language go --cap validation
# or add to an existing service:
verikt add validation
