Automatic_form_validation NPM

ValidateForm.js

ValidateForm.js is an automatic javascript class to validate HTML form fields using data- HTML5 attributes. It has little more than 12Kb. Without dependencies, like jQuery, but compatible with them.

Example:

Simple Use

First add in yout HTML

<script type="module" src="ValidateForm.min.js"></script>

<script>
  import { ValidateForm } from "./ValidateForm.min.js";
</script>

Second, create object validateForm:

<script>
  window.onload = function () {
    const validateForm = new ValidateForm();
  };
</script>

Or you can use your own submit Callback:

<script>
  function mySubmitCallback() {
    // do something before submit and/or return false to prevent submit
  }
  window.onload = function () {
    const validateForm = new ValidateForm(mySubmitCallback);
  };
</script>

Or you can use config options:

<script>
  function mySubmitCallback() {
    // do something before submit and/or return false to prevent submit
  }

  const confOpt = {};
  confOpt.warningColor = "#FF0";
  confOpt.asteriskStyle = "color: #F00; font-size: 15px; padding-left:3px;";
  confOpt.cssTextWarning = "color:#0F0; margin:10px;";
  confOpt.cssElementWarning = "border:1px solid #FF0;";
  confOpt.requiredTextContent = "O"; // instead of '*'
  confOpt.scope = myComponent.shadowRoot; // To use into a shadow DOM of a web-component, for example

  window.onload = function () {
    const validateForm = new ValidateForm(mySubmitCallback, confOpt);
  };
</script>

- Third add data-validate="true", and optionaly data-checkrealtime="true", to
<form>
  tag: ```html
  <form id="myForm" data-validate="true" data-checkrealtime="true">
    <!-- [...] -->
  </form>
</form>

Four add data- attributes to form fields:
- data-required="true" to mandatory fields
- data-tovalidate="XXXX" to check the value with XXXX type

Example:

<form id="myForm" data-validate="true">
  <input
    type="text"
    placeholder="type something.."
    data-required="true"
    data-tovalidate="alpha"
  />
</form>

ValidateForm.js automatically adds a red asterisk at the end on the tag

data-tovalidate types

ValidateForm.js can validate the next fields type:

int or integer: integer numbers
float: float numbers, numbers and .
number or numero: numbers
alpha or alfa or text or texto: text values, not numbers.
text-: text values and -
alphaNumericSpace or textspace: alphanumeric values with spaces, text and numbers with spaces
alphaNumeric or textnum: alphanumeric values, text and numbers
email or correo: email address
url: url address
iccid: integrated circuit card identifier
nummovil or movil or mobile: Telephone number (mobile phone, not international phone)
numfijo or fijo or landphone: Telephone number (land phone)
telefono or tel or telephone: Telephone number (mobile or land phone)
cp or postalcode: postal code
cuentabancaria or accountnumber: account number
tarjetacredito or creditcard: credit card
nif: Número de Identificacion Fiscal in Spain
cif: Código de Identificación Fiscal in Spain
nie: Número de Identidad de Extranjero in Spain
fecha or date: Date
noempty: any value

You can use customize functions using fn:myFunction. You must define myFunction into a script tag previously.

Attribute data-type

Use data-type="checkbox-group" into a tag to validate a group of checkboxes. Use with data-min="2" and data-max="3" to validate a group of checkboxes with max and min. Use data-error-msg="XXXX" to define a custom error message.

Example:

Atributte data-name

Use data-name="XXXX" into a tag to show and hide a group of radio buttons. Use two radio-buttons with id with the same label name adding YES and NO to the end of the label name and with attribute data-type="hiddenON" every radio-button.

Example:

<div class="form-group">
  <label id="label_hasphone" data-name="hasphone"
    >Do you have a phone number?</label
  >
  <label for="hasphoneNO">
    <input
      id="hasphoneNO"
      name="hasphone"
      type="radio"
      data-required="true"
      value="nophone"
    />
    No
  </label>
  <label for="hasphoneYES">
    <input
      id="hasphoneYES"
      name="hasphone"
      type="radio"
      data-required="true"
      value="yesphone"
    />
    Yes
  </label>
  <fieldset data-activate="hasphoneYES" data-deactivate="hasphoneNO">
    <label for="phone">Phone number</label>
    <input
      id="phone"
      name="phone"
      data-type="hiddenON"
      type="text"
      data-required="true"
      data-tovalidate="telephone"
      placeholder="Your telephone number"
    />
  </fieldset>
  <fieldset data-activate="hasphoneYES" data-deactivate="hasphoneNO">
    <label for="allowcall">
      <input
        id="allowcall"
        name="allowcall"
        data-type="hiddenON"
        type="checkbox"
        value="ok"
      />
      Let me call by phone
    </label>
  </fieldset>
</div>

Complex uses

data-name attribute

Add a data-name attribute to form fields extra label near of radio or checkbox fields, to show error message when these fields are wrong. data-name atribute has the value of the name of a radio o checkbox field marked to be checked. When the named field has a wrong value it is marked instead of the radio or checkbox field.

<div class="form-group">
  <label id="labelHasphone" data-name="hasphone"
    >Do you have a phone number?</label
  >
  <label for="hasphoneNO">
    <input
      id="hasphoneNO"
      name="hasphone"
      type="radio"
      data-required="true"
      value="nophone"
    />
    No
  </label>
  <label for="hasphoneYES">
    <input
      id="hasphoneYES"
      name="hasphone"
      type="radio"
      data-required="true"
      value="yesphone"
    />
    Yes
  </label>
</div>

data-activate / data-deactivate and data-type=hiddenON

Add a data-activate and data-deactivate attributes to form fields to show fields when a value is select in referered data- value.

The fields with data-activate/data-deactivate must be a data-type hiddenON and must have the attribute type, indicating the type of field to show when not hidden.

<div class="form-group">
  <label id="labelHasphone" data-name="hasphone"
    >Do you have a phone number?</label
  >
  <label for="hasphoneNO">
    <input
      id="hasphoneNO"
      name="hasphone"
      type="radio"
      data-required="true"
      value="nophone"
    />
    No
  </label>
  <label for="hasphoneYES">
    <input
      id="hasphoneYES"
      name="hasphone"
      type="radio"
      data-required="true"
      value="yesphone"
    />
    Yes
  </label>
</div>

<fieldset data-activate="hasphoneYES" data-deactivate="hasphoneNO">
  <label for="phone">Phone number</label>
  <input
    id="phone"
    name="phone"
    data-type="hiddenON"
    type="text"
    data-required="true"
    data-tovalidate="telephone"
    placeholder="Your telephone number"
  />
</fieldset>

data-checkrealtime

By default the value is true. When a field lost the focus, this one is checked and a warning message is showed, if the value is not valid, in function to the value of data-tovalidate and data-required. If you add the attribute data-checkrealtime equal to false it avoids check the form when a field lost the focus. The form is checked before the submit action, in that case, if any field is wrong this one will be checked when it lose the focus. All fields/group fields need a label tag with correct for attribute to work correctly. If the object from Validateform is created before to render de form, you can call validateForm.checkFieldsToValidate(); to add validate functionality after To use into a web-component you must define the scope like webComponentName.shadowRoot.
