create your own validator with Validator class.

    from validator import Validator
    
    class LoginValidator(Validator):
        username = 'required|email'
        password = 'required'

    status = validator.validate()
    if status:

Advanced Topic

Custom Validation Rules

# define the rule
from validator import BaseRule
class TestRule(BaseRule):
    name = 'test_rule'
    message = 'test custom rule failed'
    description = 'just for custom rule test'

    def check_value(self):
        self.status = True if self.field_value == 'test' else False

    def check_null(self):
        pass


# define a validator to use the rule
class TestRuleValidator(Validator):
    name = 'test_rule'

# to run the validation
extra_rules = { TestRule.get_name(): TestRule }
validator = TestRuleValidator(extra_rules=extra_rules, data={'name': 'test'})
assert validator.validate()

custom a validation rule is very easy, you just import the BaseRule and implements the method , the most important thing is before you use your rule , you should pass it to your validator class when it init through the extra_rules parameter.
