univalidator 2.0.0

A lightweight, type-safe email validator with support of multiple validator.

🛡️ univalidator

A flexible, extensible, and type-safe Python validation framework designed to validate data with ease.
Currently supports email validation (via regex and MX records) and composite validators for running multiple checks.

✨ Features

• Abstract Validator Interface — define your own validators easily.
• Regex-based Validation — for any string patterns.
• Email Format Validation — RFC-compliant pattern check.
• MX Record Validation — verifies if an email domain can receive emails.
• Composite Validation — run multiple validators in sequence.
• Type Safe — written with modern Python type hints.

📦 Installation

• By using uv:

  uv add univalidator
  

• By using pip:

  pip install univalidator
  

📚 API Reference

1️ BaseValidator[T]

Abstract base for all validators. Custom validators must implement the validate(data: T) -> bool method.

2️ RegexValidator[T]

Validates data against a regular expression.

from univalidator.validators import RegexValidator

validator = RegexValidator[str](r"^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$")  # YYYY-MM-DD format
validator.validate("2025-08-15")  # True
validator.validate("15-08-2025")  # False

3️ RegexEmailValidator[T]

Validates email format using a regex pattern. Uses a default pattern, but you can pass your own.

from univalidator.validators import RegexEmailValidator

validator = RegexEmailValidator[str]()
validator.validate("[e-mail]")  # True
validator.validate("invalid-email")     # False

4️ MXEmailRecordValidator[T]

Checks if an email’s domain has MX DNS records.

from univalidator.validators import MXEmailRecordValidator

validator = MXEmailRecordValidator[str]()
validator.validate("[e-mail]")  # True
validator.validate("[e-mail]")  # False

Restrict to specific domains:

validator = MXEmailRecordValidator[str](allowed_domains=["example.com", "gmail.com"])

5️ CompositeValidator[T]

Runs multiple validators in sequence. All validators must pass for the data to be valid.

from univalidator.composites import CompositeValidator
from univalidator.validators import RegexEmailValidator, MXEmailRecordValidator

validator = CompositeValidator[str]([
    RegexEmailValidator(),
    MXEmailRecordValidator()
])

validator.validate("[e-mail]")  # True

🧪 Testing

uv add pytest
uv run pytest tests

🌟 Example: Full Email Validation

from univalidator.composites import CompositeValidator
from univalidator.validators import RegexEmailValidator, MXEmailRecordValidator

validator = CompositeValidator[str]([
    RegexEmailValidator(),
    MXEmailRecordValidator()
])

email = "[e-mail]"
if validator.validate(email):
    print("Valid email with active domain!")
else:
    print("Invalid email.")
