koco-validated-form-control v1.4.4

koco-validated-form-control

Simple Koco component to wrap form controls in markup for koco-validation

##Installation

bower install koco-validated-form-control

Usage with KOCO

This is a shared module that is used in many other modules. The convention is to register the component in the components.js file like so:

koUtilities.registerComponent('validated-form-control', {
    basePath: 'bower_components/koco-validated-form-control/src'
});

You will also need to require the handler dependencies in the knockout-binding-handlers.js file:

define([
  ...
        'bower_components/koco-validation/src/binding-handlers/form-group-validation-css-class-binding-handler',
        'bower_components/koco-validation/src/binding-handlers/help-block-validation-message-binding-handler',
  ...
], function() {});

##Usage

<validated-form-control params="property: observableContent().propertyName, required: boolean"> 
	... 
</validated-form-control>

Where params can contain:

• property : The observable data you want validated
• required : boolean; adds the required class to your form-group div

The validated-form-control component will expand to:

<div class="form-group <!-- ko if: required -->required<!-- /ko-->" data-bind="formGroupValidationCssClass : property.formGroupValidationCssClass">
	...
    <span class="help-block" data-bind="helpBlockValidationMessage: property.helpBlockValidationMessage"></span>
</div>

It expects your observable data to be extended with knockout-validation rules. For example:

content.title.extend({
    required: {
        message: 'The title is required.'
    },
    maxLength: {
        params: 200,
        message: 'The title should not be longer than 200 characters.'
    }
});
