+
+Leapkit provides the `form/validate` package that offers a flexible and reusable way to validate form data by defining a set of validation rules that can be applied to form fields.
+
+### How to Use
+
+Validations are a set of rules stablished for different fields passed in the request. You can define these Validations to be used in your http handlers by and call the `form.Validate` function passing the `req` (*http.Request) and handling the `validate.Errors` returned. Example:
+
+```go
+
+passwordExp := regexp.MustCompile(`^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*\d)(?=.*[@$!%*?&])[A-Za-z\d@$!%*?&]{8,}$)`)
+
+rules := validate.Fields(
+	validate.Field("email", validate.Required("email is required")),
+	validate.Field(
+		"password",
+		validate.Required("password is required"),
+		validate.MatchRegex(
+			passwordExp,
+			"Password must contain at least 8 characters, one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number and one special character",
+		),
+)
+
+verrs := form.Validate(req, rules)
+if len(verrs) > 0 {
+	 // handle validation errors...
+}
+```
+
+### Built-in Rules
+
+You can build your set of rules for each validation by using the package's built-in functions.
+
+```go
+// General Rules:
+func Required(message ...string) Rule
+
+// String Rules:
+func Matches(field string, message ...string) Rule
+func MatchRegex(re *regexp.Regexp, message ...string) Rule
+func MinLength(min int, message ...string) Rule
+func MaxLength(max int, message ...string) Rule
+func WithinOptions(options []string, message ...string) Rule
+
+// Number Rules:
+func EqualTo(value float64, message ...string) Rule
+func LessThan(value float64, message ...string) Rule
+func LessThanOrEqualTo(value float64, message ...string) Rule
+func GreaterThan(value float64, message ...string) Rule
+func GreaterThanOrEqualTo(value float64, message ...string) Rule
+
+// UUID Rule:
+func ValidUUID(message ...string) Rule
+
+// Time Rules:
+func TimeEqualTo(u time.Time, message ...string) Rule
+func TimeBefore(u time.Time, message ...string) Rule
+func TimeBeforeOrEqualTo(u time.Time, message ...string) Rule
+func TimeAfter(u time.Time, message ...string) Rule
+func TimeAfterOrEqualTo(u time.Time, message ...string) Rule
+```
+
+### Custom validation Rules
+
+Alternatively, you can create your own validation rules. Example:
+
+```go
+func IsUnique(db *sqlx.DB ) func([]string) error {
+   	return func(emails []string) error {
+     		query := "SELECT EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM users WHERE email = $1)"
+	  		stmt, err := db.Prepare(query)
+	  		if err != nil {
+	 				  return err
+	  		}
+
+	  		for _, email := range emails {
+			 			var exists bool
+			 			if err := stmt.QueryRow(email).Scan(&exists); err != nil {
+							  return err
+			 			}
+
+			 			if exists {
+							return fmt.Errorf("email '%s' already exists.", email)
+			 			}
+    		}
+
+    		return nil
+   	}
+}
+
+// ...
+rules := validation.Fields(
+	validation.Field("email", validate.Required(), IsUnique(db))
+  ...
+)
+...
+```
