}

You can pass to every validator functions customError parameter witch will be returned on error instead of default error.

import "github.com/go-passwd/validator"

passwordValidator := validator.New(validator.MinLength(5, errors.New("too short")), validator.MaxLength(10, errors.New("too long")))
err := passwordValidator.Validate(form.Password)
if err != nil {
  panic(err)
}
