   Also recommend to use onErrorCallback , which will be presented in example

const validator = new FormValidator('formSelector', {
    rules: [
        {
            name: 'name',
            rules: [
                {
                    type: 'required',
                    message: 'Name is required'
                },
                {
                    type: 'minLength',
                    message: 'Name must be at least 3 characters',
                    value: 3
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            name: 'email',
            rules: [
                {
                    type: 'required',
                    message: 'Email is required'
                },
                {
                    type: 'email',
                    message: 'Email is not valid'
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            name: 'password',
            rules: [
                {
                    type: 'required',
                    message: 'Password is required'
                },
                {
                    type: 'minLength',
                    message: 'Password must be at least 6 characters',
                    value: 6
                }
            ]
        }
    ],
    onSuccessCallback: (formData, form) => {
        console.log('success');
    },
    onErrorCallback: (errors, form) => {
        errors.forEach(error => addFormError(form, error))
    }
});

in file index.js you can see this error handlers: addFormError and removeFormErrors

For your convenience, you can leave or change them.

if you use them don't forget to import form-errors.css file to your styles.

Your form elements must have a name attribute, and this names must match the names of the rules.

Each name must be unique and must match array of rules. Each rule is an object with the following properties: 1. type - this field is required and must be a string (e.g. capitalized) 2. message - this field is optional and must be a string (e.g. Name must be capitalized) 3. value - this field is required for following rules: minLength, maxLength, and must be a number ( e.g. 3)
