Customizing Validation in Spring Boot: How to Create Your Own Constraints\u00a0<\/strong><\/h1>\n
<\/figure>\n

By<\/span> developing unique constraint annotations and validator classes for Spring Boot, customized validation can be implemented.Here we can show more than one validation error messages
\nThe general steps to build a custom validator in Spring Boot are as follows:<\/p>\n

STEP 0 : Add dependency in pom.xml<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

STEP 1<\/strong>\u00a0: Make your own constraint annotations<\/strong>
\nThis annotation will be used to highlight fields that need to be validated.
\nThe annotation needs to be tagged with @Constraint<\/a> and should be linked to a Validator class. Here I am using phone number validation.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

STEP 2: The creation of a validator class<\/strong>
\nThis class should include methods for validating the annotated fields and should implement the Constraint Validator interface.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

STEP 3\u00a0: Fields that require validation should be annotated with a special constraint<\/strong>
\nThis can be achieved by adding the custom constraint annotation to the
\nclass fields like here in contact.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

STEP 4\u00a0: Use @Valid annotation in controller<\/strong><\/p>\n

The @Valid<\/a> annotation from Spring can be used to force object validation by adding it to a method argument or request body.
\nIf any constraints are broken, Spring will automatically validate the object and deliver a list of problems.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

STEP 5\u00a0: Make a class that will display error message along with certain other validation errors<\/strong><\/p>\n

To get the error message properly create a class to get and bind the validation errors.We have to catch the error messages from exceptions and attach that with our own format of response and return the same to the client.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

STEP 6: Make a custom handler to display validation error message<\/strong><\/p>\n

Make a class that has @ControllerAdvice annotation at class level and extends ResponseEntityExceptionHandler class.Override the handleMethodArgumentNotValid() method to show valid error message.This will display more than one validation errors .<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n
<\/figure>\n

STEP 7\u00a0: Now you can test it locally\u00a0!<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can create more validation like unique email,password match and so on\u2026.<\/p>\n
