In addition to Type Constraints as described above, a module author can specify In addition to Type Constraints, you can specify custom validation rules for a particular variable using a `validation` block nested within the corresponding `variable` block. The example below checks whether the AMI ID has the correct syntax.

Refer to [Custom Data Validation](/language/expressions/custom-validation-rules) for more details.
The `condition` argument is an expression that must use the value of the
variable to return `true` if the value is valid, or `false` if it is invalid.
The expression can refer only to the variable that the condition applies to,
and _must not_ produce errors.
If the failure of an expression is the basis of the validation decision, use
[the `can` function](/language/functions/can) to detect such errors. For example:
```hcl
variable "image_id" {
type = string
description = "The id of the machine image (AMI) to use for the server."
validation {
# regex(...) fails if it cannot find a match
condition = can(regex("^ami-", var.image_id))
error_message = "The image_id value must be a valid AMI id, starting with \"ami-\"."
}
}
```
If `condition` evaluates to `false`, Terraform will produce an error message
that includes the result of the `error_message` expression. The error message
should be at least one full sentence explaining the constraint that failed,
using a sentence structure similar to the above examples.
Error messages can be literal strings, heredocs, or template expressions. The
only valid reference in an error message is the variable under validation.
Multiple `validation` blocks can be declared in which case error messages
will be returned for _all_ failed conditions.
