Method StructExceptCtx

validator_instance.go:534–579

StructExceptCtx validates all fields except the ones passed in and allows passing of contextual validation information via context.Context Fields may be provided in a namespaced fashion relative to the struct provided i.e. NestedStruct.Field or NestedArrayField[0].Struct.Name It returns InvalidVali

(ctx context.Context, s interface{}, fields ...string)

// It returns InvalidValidationError for bad values passed in and nil or ValidationErrors as error otherwise.
// You will need to assert the error if it's not nil eg. err.(validator.ValidationErrors) to access the array of errors.
