Float rules

FloatRules describes the rules applied to float values. These rules may also be applied to the google.protobuf.FloatValue Well-Known-Type.

const

const requires the field value to exactly match the specified value. If the field value doesn't match, an error message is generated.

float.const example

message MyFloat {
  // value must equal 42.0
  float value = 1 [(buf.validate.field).float.const = 42.0];
}

lt

lt requires the field value to be less than the specified value (field < value). If the field value is equal to or greater than the specified value, an error message is generated.

float.lt example

message MyFloat {
  // value must be less than 10.0
  float value = 1 [(buf.validate.field).float.lt = 10.0];
}

lte

lte requires the field value to be less than or equal to the specified value (field <= value). If the field value is greater than the specified value, an error message is generated.

float.lte example

message MyFloat {
  // value must be less than or equal to 10.0
  float value = 1 [(buf.validate.field).float.lte = 10.0];
}

gt

gt requires the field value to be greater than the specified value (exclusive). If the value of gt is larger than a specified lt or lte, the range is reversed, and the field value must be outside the specified range. If the field value doesn't meet the required conditions, an error message is generated.

float.gt example

message MyFloat {
  // value must be greater than 5.0 [float.gt]
  float value = 1 [(buf.validate.field).float.gt = 5.0];

  // value must be greater than 5 and less than 10.0 [float.gt_lt]
  float other_value = 2 [(buf.validate.field).float = { gt: 5.0, lt: 10.0 }];

  // value must be greater than 10 or less than 5.0 [float.gt_lt_exclusive]
  float another_value = 3 [(buf.validate.field).float = { gt: 10.0, lt: 5.0 }];
}

gte

gte requires the field value to be greater than or equal to the specified value (exclusive). If the value of gte is larger than a specified lt or lte, the range is reversed, and the field value must be outside the specified range. If the field value doesn't meet the required conditions, an error message is generated.

float.gte example

message MyFloat {
  // value must be greater than or equal to 5.0 [float.gte]
  float value = 1 [(buf.validate.field).float.gte = 5.0];

  // value must be greater than or equal to 5.0 and less than 10.0 [float.gte_lt]
  float other_value = 2 [(buf.validate.field).float = { gte: 5.0, lt: 10.0 }];

  // value must be greater than or equal to 10.0 or less than 5.0 [float.gte_lt_exclusive]
  float another_value = 3 [(buf.validate.field).float = { gte: 10.0, lt: 5.0 }];
}

in

in requires the field value to be equal to one of the specified values. If the field value isn't one of the specified values, an error message is generated.

float.in example

message MyFloat {
  // value must be in list [1.0, 2.0, 3.0]
  float value = 1 [(buf.validate.field).float = { in: [1.0, 2.0, 3.0] }];
}

not_in

in requires the field value to not be equal to any of the specified values. If the field value is one of the specified values, an error message is generated.

float.not_in example

message MyFloat {
  // value must not be in list [1.0, 2.0, 3.0]
  float value = 1 [(buf.validate.field).float = { not_in: [1.0, 2.0, 3.0] }];
}

finite

finite requires the field value to be finite. If the field value is infinite or NaN, an error message is generated.

@generated from field: optional bool finite = 8;

example

example specifies values that the field may have. These values SHOULD conform to other rules. example values will not impact validation but may be used as helpful guidance on how to populate the given field.

float.example example

message MyFloat {
  float value = 1 [
    (buf.validate.field).float.example = 1.0,
    (buf.validate.field).float.example = "Infinity"
  ];
}
