⚙️ Usage Examples

You can easily define validation rules as types. Here is a simple example to demonstrate:

const std = @import("std");

fn exampleValidation() void {
    const myData = MyData{
        id: 123,
        name: "Sample",
    };

    // Validate myData...
}

const MyData = struct {
    id: u32,
    name: []const u8,
};

Replace MyData with your own structure to adapt the validation rules as per your needs.
