Is there a way to invoke Ktor’s validator manually...

Is there a way to invoke Ktor’s validator manually instead of using the validator? I wanna do something like this:

post("my-endpoint") {
    val request = call.receive<MyRequest>() // This would be validated by Ktor using the validate block, but this is not what I want
    val transformedRequest = doSomethingThatTransformsRequest(request)
    validate(transformedRequest) // <- How to do this?
}

Maybe you could validate in the validation block by some condition?

Unfortunately, it's not possible to imperatively call the validation, although you can throw the RequestValidationException in the route handler.

@Mario Andhika You can use https://akkurate.dev/docs/overview.html

I don't think this library is related to ktor validation
