Installation

pip install func-validator

Imports

• Import for the function decorator

  from func_validator import validate_params
  

• Import for the validators

  from func_validator import MustBeGreaterThan, MustMatchRegex 
  from func_validator.validators.numeric_arg_validators import MustBeGreaterThan
  

  There are 3 other modules you can import validators from, namely:

  • collection_arg_validators
  • datatype_arg_validators
  • text_arg_validators

[!NOTE] All validator objects can be imported from the func_validator namespace

Usage

from typing import Annotated
from func_validator import validate_params
from func_validator.validators.numeric_arg_validators import (MustBePositive,
                                                              MustBeNegative)


@validate_params
def func(a: Annotated[int, MustBePositive()],
         b: Annotated[float, MustBeNegative()]):
    return (a, b)


func(10, -10)   # ✅ Correct

func(-10, -10)  # ❌ Wrong -10 is not positive and 10 is not negative
# A validation error is raised with a message.

func(0, -10)    # ❌ Wrong 0 is not positive
# A validation error is raised with a message.

func(20, 10)    # ❌ Wrong 10 is not negative
# A validation error is raised with a message.

MustBeEmpty	Validate that argument value is empty

DataType Validators

MustBeA

Validates that the value is of the specified type

Numeric Validators

MustBePositive	Validate that argument value is positive
