GoZod Regular Expressions

A collection of common regular expressions for Go, ported from TypeScript Zod v4 regexes.

Usage Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"regexp"
	"github.com/kaptinlin/gozod/pkg/regex"
)

func main() {
	// Validate a UUID v4
	if regexes.UUID4.MatchString("f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479") {
		fmt.Println("Valid UUID4")
	}
	
	// Validate an email using practical email pattern
	if regexes.Email.MatchString("user@example.com") {
		fmt.Println("Valid email")
	}
	
	// Validate IPv4 address
	if regexes.IPv4.MatchString("192.168.1.1") {
		fmt.Println("Valid IPv4 address")
	}
	
	// Create a length-restricted string pattern
	customStr := regexes.StringRegex(3, 10)
	if customStr.MatchString("hello") {
		fmt.Println("String length is between 3 and 10")
	}
	
	// Check ISO 8601 date format
	if regexes.Date.MatchString("2024-03-15") {
		fmt.Println("Valid ISO 8601 date")
	}
	
	// Validate E.164 phone number
	if regexes.E164.MatchString("+1234567890") {
		fmt.Println("Valid E.164 phone number")
	}
}

Quick Reference

import (
	"regexp"
	"github.com/kaptinlin/gozod/pkg/regex"
)

// Identifiers
regexes.UUID4.MatchString(id)          // Validate UUID v4
regexes.CUID.MatchString(id)           // Validate CUID
regexes.NanoID.MatchString(id)         // Validate NanoID

// Networking
regexes.IPv4.MatchString("192.168.0.1")      // true
regexes.CIDRv4.MatchString("10.0.0.0/24")    // true

// Date & time (ISO-8601)
regexes.DateTime.MatchString("2024-06-12T08:04:00Z") // true
regexes.Date.MatchString("2024-03-15")              // true

// Custom length-restricted string
short := regexes.StringRegex(1, 5)
short.MatchString("four") // true

// Use pattern constants with regexp
hex32 := regexp.MustCompile(`^[0-9a-f]{32}$`)
hex32.MatchString("aabbccddeeff00112233445566778899")

Documentation

Overview

Package regex provides pre-compiled regular expressions for common data formats.

Key features:

  • Email patterns (Email, HTML5Email, RFC5322Email, UnicodeEmail)
  • URL patterns (URL)
  • Network patterns (IPv4, IPv6, CIDR, MAC)
  • Date/time patterns (Date, Time, Datetime, Duration)
  • ID formats (UUID, CUID, CUID2, ULID, NanoID, XID, KSUID)
  • Encoding patterns (Base64, Base64URL)
  • Primitives (String, Integer, Number, Boolean)

Usage: 

if regex.Email.MatchString(email) {
    // valid email format
}

if regex.UUID.MatchString(uuid) {
    // valid UUID format
}

Emoji matches emoji characters (Go-compatible implementation) Note: Go's regexp doesn't support Unicode properties like \p{Extended_Pictographic} This pattern covers comprehensive emoji ranges based on Unicode standards

var MACDefault = MAC(":")

MACDefault is the default MAC address regex using ":" as delimiter.

Functions

func Datetime 

func Datetime(options DatetimeOptions) *regexp.Regexp

Datetime returns a regex for matching ISO 8601 datetime format.

func MAC 

func MAC(delimiter string) *regexp.Regexp

MAC returns a cached regex for validating MAC addresses with the given delimiter. An empty delimiter defaults to ":". 

MAC(":")  matches "00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E" or "00:1a:2b:3c:4d:5e"
MAC("-")  matches "00-1A-2B-3C-4D-5E" or "00-1a-2b-3c-4d-5e"

func StringRegex 

func StringRegex(min, max int) *regexp.Regexp

StringRegex returns a cached regex matching strings with length in [min, max]. A non-positive max means no upper bound.

func Time 

func Time(opts TimeOptions) *regexp.Regexp

Time returns a regex for matching ISO 8601 time format.

func UUIDForVersion 

func UUIDForVersion(version int) *regexp.Regexp

UUIDForVersion returns a regex matching a specific UUID version (1-8). For out-of-range versions, it returns the general UUID regex.

Types

type DatetimeOptions 

type DatetimeOptions struct {
	// Precision specifies the number of decimal places for seconds.
	// nil: any number of decimal places; 0: no decimals; -1: minute precision only.
	Precision *int

	// Offset allows timezone offsets like +01:00 when true.
	Offset bool

	// Local makes the 'Z' timezone marker optional when true.
	Local bool
}

DatetimeOptions defines parameters for the datetime regex pattern.

type TimeOptions 

type TimeOptions struct {
	// Precision specifies the number of decimal places for seconds.
	// nil: any number of decimal places; 0: no decimals; -1: minute precision only.
	Precision *int
}

TimeOptions defines parameters for the time regex pattern.
