How can we validate end date should be greater than start date?

@jogiranjith Probably you need to access other value from http.request. But at this point (v1.9) we don't have any request object inside AddCustomRule.

We can pass the request object to custom rules for further manipulation, but we can't do this change on patch, because it'll change API and break others code. Hope, we will be able to pass the request object to the AddCustomRule for v2.0.

Note: But there is a tricky way to solve your problem, you can check the dates manually after the other validation:

v := govalidator.New(opts)
e := v.Validate()
if startDate > endDate {
    e.Add("start_date", "Start date can not be greater than end date") // this will add the error message to the validation errors
    e.Add("end_date", "Start date can not be greater than end date")
}

As 2.0 will be our next major release, you may have to wait a little time :)
