reqire a file be included in request

[CyTechNomad]

I am using the crud library and would like to require a file file or --data for curl be included in the request. Am i just missing it or is there currently no way to enforce that using the crud library?

There's a File type, I think that's what you're looking for:

crud/field.go

Lines 309 to 312 in 20afaa4

	// File creates a field with file type
	func File() Field {
	return Field{kind: KindFile}
	}

This should work for you:

Validate: crud.Validate{
	FormData: crud.Object(map[string]crud.Field{
		"file": crud.File().Required(),
	}),
},

I am appreciative of the quick reply. attempting this I am still getting into the endpoint logic without providing a file at all.

what I am attempting:
curl --request POST \ --url url \ --header 'Content-Type: text/csv'
the code im using:

Validate: crud.Validate{
	FormData: crud.Object(map[string]crud.Field{
		"file": crud.File().Required(),
	}),
},

Ah I see, yes then your approach before is the correct one:

Validate: crud.Validate{
     Body: crud.File().Required(),
},

Yes there's currently no validation around the body with this library if the body is a file. To do the validation currently we must read the entire body into memory to deserialize it and validate fields. To do that with a file could run the server out of memory, so you'll have to handle that validation yourself.

Out of curiosity what type of validation were you hoping for?

Just trying to ensure a file was provided. Im doing more in-depth validation beyond this but was hoping i could reject the request at this level like i can for other things.
