The govalid struct validation is only for non pointer types. Is there any reason for that? I think there a some great possibilities for pointers with govalid tags.

Is this already in planning? If not I can try to investigate further and maybe make a pull request

The govalid struct validation is only for non pointer types.

What exactly are you referring to here? The s argument here can be a pointer: func (v *Validator) Violation(s interface{}) (string, error).

Sorry for the late response:

type Test struct {
	Name *string `govalid:"max:10`
}

I mean the above code. It will ignored if the Name Field is not 10 characters long, so it doesn´t matter how long the Name field is.

Or you have a code example where field pointer types are supported and actually working?

Thanks for the clarification. Sounds like a good thing to add. Feel free to make a PR for discussion.
