Four Official Apis



Playground Examples



Vue Example One


Show First Error For Each Field And

Only Validate Form (AKA find errors) when Form Data is submitted

<template>
    <div>        
        <input type='text' v-model='form.name' />
        <span v-if="form.errors().has('name')" v-text="form.errors().get('email')"></span>

        <input type='email' v-model='form.email' />
        <span v-if="form.errors().has('email')" v-text="form.errors().get('email')"></span>

        <input type='password' v-model='form.password' />
        <span v-if="form.errors().has('password')" v-text="form.errors().get('password')"></span>

        <input type='password' v-model='form.password_confirmation' />
        <span v-if="form.errors().has('password_confirmation')" v-text="form.errors().get('password_confirmation')"></span>

        <hr>

        <button :disabled='form.empty()' @click='submit'>
            Complete
        </button>
    </div>
</template>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
import form from 'vuejs-form'

export default {
    data: () => ({
        form: form({
            email: '',
            password: '',
            password_confirmation: ''
        })
        .rules({
            email: 'email|min:5|required',
            password: 'required|min:5|confirmed'
        })
        .messages({
            'email.email': 'Email field must be an email (durr)',
            'password.confirmed': 'Whoops, :attribute value does not match :confirmed value',
        }),
   }),

    methods: {
        submit() {
            if (this.form.validate().errors().any()) return;

            console.log('submit: ', this.form.only('email', 'password'));

Validator Api


Form Register Rules

@SeeAvailableValidationRules

form(data).rules({
    name: 'required|min:4',
    link: 'required|url',
    category: 'required|within:blue,reg,green'
});
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Optionally Use Arrays Syntax Instead Of Pipes

form(data).rules({
    name: ['required', 'min:4'],
    link: ['required', 'url'],
    category: ['required', 'within:blue,reg,green']
});
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Form Customize Error Messages

  • All rules have global default error messages shown when rule fails validation.
  • Optionally, you are able to override the global defaults rule messages
  • Simply use the form(data).rules(set).messages({ '{field}.{rule}': 'custom message for failing rule on field' });
let data = { email: ['required', 'email'] }
form({ email: 'chad'}).rules({
    email: ['required', 'email']
})
.messages({
    'email.required': 'Email field is called email, needa make it an email (Hence Email Field Name, dont worry ~ we added validation just in case you forgot to make the email field an email)'
})
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Form Validator Instance

form(data).rules(options).messages(customMessages);

// form.validator().addMessage(field, error)
// form.validator().addRule(field, rules) 
// etc...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Validate Form Data

  • Check current form data against associated form rules
  • IMPORTANT: form MUST call validate() method before retrieving current errors

COMMON GOTCHA!!!!

  • This wont get the current form errors
  • The form.validate() method was Never called
let data = { name: '' };
let rules = { name: 'required' };

form(data).rules(rules).errors().list();

// --------------------------------------------
// Form SHOULD fail, but errors list is empty
// --------------------------------------------
// Output: []
// --------------------------------------------
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

What's the reason?

Retrieving errors before validating form data

would retrieve our error messages Api instance,
but it hasn't been filled with our forms error messages.

form.validate() compares form data against form rules, populating our form errors with failing rule messages.

Validate THEN resolve the errors (Using forms fluent api)

let data = { name: '' };
let rules = { name: 'required' };

form(data).rules(rules).validate().errors().list();
// Output: ['Name field is required']

// Again, we'll need to validate before retrieving our 
// errors to validate that the values passes our given rules
form.name = 'hello world';

form.errors().list();
// Output: ['Name field is required']

form.validate().errors().list();
// Output: []; 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Fluently call validate() before calling errors() is simple and to the point.

At first, this may seem like a tedious extra step. Many may wonder why we don't simply auto-validate the data?

Reason for form.validate().errors() Instead of simply form.errors() triggering the validation.

  • Reactive frameworks may use errors() and the associated Error Messages Api (@See Form Error Messages Api)
  • Without providing the option for the end developer to determine when the form validates
  • Async requests, only validate once we've resolved some given data
  • Immediate display of errors (Not always wanted)
  • Option Open To Immediately show error messages (@See Vue Watcher Example)
  • Some other developers may only want to validate data on form submission
  • Many validation rules can be abstracted using the form Api to simply disable the ability to submit a button
  • EX: <button :disabled='form.empty()' @click='submit'> Done </button>
  • Then within submit() method simply run if (this.form.validate().errors().any()) return;
  • That allows the option to set up vuejs-form more like a traditional Form, and avoid many complexities that come along with maintaining the status of our reactive state
  • etc...

Form Has Validator

Determine if form has a validator instance attached to it

form.hasValidator(); // true or false
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Form Set Validator

  • Set Validator Instance
  • Optionally import the validator instance itself, and extend its functionality validator().macro(add_method, method).
  • Then use form macros to track the current step form.macro(add_method, method).
  • vuejs-validators.js Also has validator life cycle hooks documented that are available here, but only documented within vuejs-form.js. Very helpful for multi-step forms
const { form, validator } = require('vuejs-form');


form().macro('setSwitchableValidators', (first, second) => {
    this.toggleValidators = 
    this.toggleBetween = first
});

Extend Form Using Macros

const form = require('vuejs-form');

form().macro('shortcut', () => {
    return this.validate().errors().list();
});  

let example = form({ name: '' }).rules({ name: 'required' });

example.shortcut();
// Output: ['Name is a required field'];

Extend Validator Using Macros

const { form, validator } = require('vuejs-form');

    if (!Object.keys(dictionary).includes(locale)) {
        console.warn(`Translation dictionary does not include passed ${locale}`);

        return this;
    } 

    const language = Object.keys(this.messages);
    const dictionary_words = key => Object.keys(dictionary[locale]).includes(key);
    language.filter(dictionary_words).forEach(key => { this.messages[key] = dictionary[`${locale}.${key}`] });

Extending: Custom Error Messages

Customize error messages for specific rules on any given field

  • Globally, each rule provides a default error message
  • Easily override rule's default error message
  • Simply pass 'messages' to our validator
  • Only override messages you want to
let data = { name: '', email: '' };

let rules = {
    name: ['min:3', 'max:12', 'string', 'required'],
    email: ['email', 'required']
};

let customMessages = {
    'name.min': 'Whoops! :attribute is less than :min characters',
    'name.required': 'Wha oh, doesnt look like there any value for your :attribute field',

    'email.email': 'Really? Email is called Email...it has to be an email...',
};

form(data).rules(rules).messages(customMessages).validate().errors().all();
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Extending: Custom Rules

Add Your Own Validation Rules

  • Easily add, or override, validation rules
  • Add a group of rules at a time
  • Add a single rule add a time

Extending: Custom Rules - Single Rule

form().validator().extend(rule_name, [message, rule])
``js
let example = form({ name: 'timmy' }).rules({ name: 'uppercase' });

example.validator().extend('uppercase', [
':attribute must be uppercase',
({ value, validator, parameters }) => value === value.toUpperCase(),
]);

// true
example.validate().errors().has('name');

// "Name must be uppercase"
example.errors().get('name');
`

Extending: Custom Rules - multiple rules

form.validator().extend({ first: [message, rule], second: [message, rule], etc... })
`js
let example = form({ name: '' }).rules({ name: ['required_with:last_name', 'required' ] });

example.validator().extend({
uppercase: [
':attribute must be uppercase',
({ value }) => value === value.toUpperCase(),
],
not_uppercase: [
':attribute must not be uppercase',
({ value }) => value !== value.toUpperCase()
],
required_without: [
':attribute is only required when form is missing :required_without field',
({ validator, parameters }) => !Object.keys(validator.data).includes(parameters[0])

required_with: [
':attribute is required with the :required_with field',
({ validator, parameters }) => Object.keys(validator.data).includes(parameters[0])

Step {{ multi.steps().currentStep }} of {{ multi.steps().count() }}

    <!-- Pass form data as props, via vuex, emit event on any data change from all form field children, or if your safe wit it simply reference this.$parent.multi.steps().current from the child field. If you do so, don't plan on using the child component outside of multi-step forms. this.$parent is traditionally bad practice -->

Extend Form Functionality

`js
import form from 'vuejs-form'

form().macro('count', () => {
return this.keys().length
})

form().macro('mapInto', into => {
// NOTICE: this.data is where the input object is actually stored

this.data = Object.entries(this.data).reduce((input, [key, value]) => ({
        ...input,
        ...into(key, value)
    }),
{});

return this

})

const extendedForm = form({
email: 'example@gmail',
password: 'secret',
})

form().macro((key, value) => ({ [key]: value.split('@') })).all()
/**

  • { email: ['example', 'gmail'], password: 'secret' } */ `
