OR Operators (Or / OrElse)

Valgo supports OR-style logic inside a validator chain.

Overview

• Or(...) evaluates an alternative branch.
• OrElse(...) is like Or, but lets you override the resulting message when all branches fail.

Example

Require either an email-like string or a phone-like string:

emailRe := regexp.MustCompile(`^.+@.+\..+$`)
phoneRe := regexp.MustCompile(`^\+?[0-9]{7,}$`)

val := v.Is(
  v.String(contact, "contact").
    MatchingTo(emailRe).
    Or(v.String(contact, "contact").MatchingTo(phoneRe)),
)

If you want a single consolidated error message:

val := v.Is(
  v.String(contact, "contact").
    MatchingTo(emailRe).
    OrElse(
      v.String(contact, "contact").MatchingTo(phoneRe),
      "Contact must be a valid email or phone number",
    ),
)
