Is there a simple way to handle a post request validation in ktor?

Do you mean validate a form?

[Deactivated User]

using regex, lengths and so on?

[Alex]

Yes to validate a form. Make sure the json sent is valid and if not throw an exception

[Deactivated User]

What about something like:

class MyForm(val name: String, val age: Int) {
	init {
		check(name.size in 2 until 50)
		check(age in 0 until 150)
	}
}

and just deserialize that class?

[Alex]

Sounds good. Thanks @Deactivated User ill try that and get back to you

[enleur]

you can check https://beanvalidation.org/

[Alex]

Bean validation also sounds good but i need to use hibernate for that right?

[Alex]

Thanks again @Deactivated User your approach is simple enough. Ill just make my own check function or maybe an annotation with some restrictions and throw a custom "ValidationException" or something if its false
