Golang : Check if password length meet the requirement
Problem :
You need to check the password's length entered by users. How to do that in Golang?
Solution :
Use the builtin len()
function to evaluate the length of the password and return true if the password length is acceptable or false if not.
See example :
package main
import "fmt"
func checkLength(value string, min, max int) bool {
pwdLen := len(value)
if min > 0 && pwdLen < min {
return false
}
if max > 0 && pwdLen > max {
return false
}
return true
}
func main() {
password := "abc12"
passwordMin := 6
passwordMax := 20
if !checkLength(password, passwordMin, passwordMax) {
fmt.Println("Password needs to be more than 6 characters and less than 20 characters")
} else {
fmt.Println("Password length accepted")
}
password = "abc1234"
if !checkLength(password, passwordMin, passwordMax) {
fmt.Println("Password needs to be more than 6 characters and less than 20 characters")
} else {
fmt.Println("Password length accepted")
}
}
Sample output :
Password needs to be more than 6 characters and less than 20 characters
Password length accepted
