MinLengthValidator

This class provides validation logic to ensure that a given value meets a minimum length requirement. It calculates the length of the input and compares it against a specified limit, raising a localized error message if the value is too short.

Attributes

Attribute	Type	Description
message	string = ngettext_lazy(...)	The error message used when the validation fails, supporting pluralization based on the required minimum length.
code	string = min_length	The specific identifier used to categorize the validation error, typically for programmatic lookup.
