Headless.Api.FluentValidation

FluentValidation extensions for validating ASP.NET Core IFormFile uploads including size, content type, and file signature verification.

Problem Solved

Provides reusable, type-safe validators for file uploads with proper error messages, eliminating boilerplate validation code for common file upload scenarios and preventing extension spoofing attacks.

Key Features

  • FileNotEmpty() - Validates file has content
  • GreaterThanOrEqualTo(bytes) - Minimum file size validation
  • LessThanOrEqualTo(bytes) - Maximum file size validation
  • ContentTypes(list) - MIME type whitelist validation
  • HaveSignatures(inspector, predicate) - Magic bytes/file signature validation
  • Localized error messages (English, Arabic)
