Validation of Api Values

• I have checked "open" and "closed" issues, and this is not a duplicate.

Problem or Missing Functionality

Currently, the API does not validate user input properly. This means that when users or systems send requests, data is accepted without checks for correctness, format, or constraints. For instance, fields like email addresses, phone numbers, or dates can be incorrectly formatted, leading to inconsistent data being stored in the system.

Feature Description

This feature adds input validation to the API to ensure that data received from client requests adheres to the defined constraints and business rules before processing. By validating inputs, the API can enforce data integrity, prevent invalid data from being persisted to the database, and improve security by mitigating the risk of malicious inputs.

Implementation Plan

To implement validation in Spring Boot, identify key fields in the DTO classes that require validation, such as required fields (e.g., name, email), formatted fields (e.g., email, phone), and fields with constraints (e.g., age, price, string length). Use standard validation annotations like @NotNull, @SiZe, @Email, and @pattern to enforce these rules. Update the DTO classes with these annotations to ensure that all incoming data is validated before reaching the service layer. This helps maintain data integrity, improves user feedback, and prevents invalid data from being processed.

@anishmu20, thanks for the detailed implementation plan! Input validation is crucial for ensuring data integrity and security within the API, and I believe this enhancement could significantly improve our system.

I’d like to assign this issue to you for implementation. If you need any assistance while working on this, feel free to reach out!
