Vue Form Validators (Laravel Inspired)

Clean Code Studio

VueForm Playground Examples

(Implementing Vuejs-validators.js)

Vue Example One (Live Example)

Vue Example Two (Live Example)

Installation

NPM

npm install --save-dev vuejs-validators

Yarn

yarn add vuejs-validators --save

VueForm.js Recommended

vuejs-validators.js can stand independently

vuejs-form.js is a zero non-dev dependency package

This vuejs-validators.js package was built to support vuejs-form.js

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>

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'));
            console.log('submit: ', this.form.except('password_confirmation'));
        },
    }
}

Vue Example Two

Show all form errors for all form fields

Re-validate Form Any time user updates form data for any field

<template>
    <div>
        <div v-if="form.errors().any()" v-for="(message, key) in form.errors().list()" :key="`${key}.error`">

        <input type='password' v-model='form.password' /> <br>
        <input type='password' v-model='form.password_confirmation' /> <br>

        <hr>

        <button :disabled='form.empty()' @click='submit'>
            Complete
        </button>
    </div>
</template>

            password: 'required|min:5|confirmed'
        })
        .messages({

            'email.min': ':attribute may not have less than :min characters',
            'password.confirmed': 'Whoops, :attribute value does not match :confirmed value',
        }),
   }),

   },

    methods: {
        onFormChange(after, before) {
             this.form.validate()
        },

        submit() {
            return this.form.errors().any() ? this.failed() : this.passed();
        },

        failed() {
            console.log('errors: ', this.form.errors().all());
        },

        passed() {
            console.log('data: ', this.form.all());
            console.log('wrapped data: ', this.form.wrap('data'));
        }
    }
}

Add

errors().add('company', 'Your company is important to us, add the proper information so others can learn about it to!');

# errors.list('company')

[

   'Company field is required',

   'Company field must have no more than 15 characters',

   'Your company is important to us, add the proper information so others can learn about it to!'

]

All

Return "all" error messages as object of fields with list of their error messages

errors().all();

{

    name: ['Name field is required', 'Name field must have at lest 3 characters'],

    email: ['Email field must be an email', 'Email field must have at least 3 characters']

}

Any

Determine if there are currently "any" error messages within error bag

errors().any();

true: If there are any error messages

false: If there are NOT any error messages

Force Macro

Force macro acts the same as macro, with the option to forcefully override core functions and already existing macros.

(Use with caution).

Note See forceLocalMacro to only apply the method on a specific instance instead of globally on the prototype constructor

errors().get('name'); 

// Output: 'Name field is required'

errors().forceMacro('get', function (field) {

    return this.list(field).join(', ');

});

errors().get('name'); 

// Output: 'Name field is required, Name field can not be greater than 3 characters, Name field must be a string'

Forget

Forget error messages on all fields or optionally on a specific field

errors.forget(); // Forget errors messages for all fields

errors.forget('name'); // only forget the error messages for a specific field

Get

Get first available error message on a given field

errors.get('name');

Has

Check if a specific field "has" error messages

errors.has('name');

List

List all error messages or optionally list all array messages for a specific field

errors.list(); // ['Name is a required field']

errors.list('name'); // ['Name is a required field']

errors.list('email'); // ['Email field must be an email', 'Email is a required field']

Macro

Extend errors message bag instance using macros

Note See localMacro to only apply the method on a specific instance instead of globally on the prototype constructor

errors().macro('count', function () {

    return this.list().length();

});

// errors().count() === errors().list().count();

Set

Set all error messages, or optionally set given fields error messages

// Set all fields error messages

errors().set({

    name: ['Name field is off, check it out and try again', 'Name field is in wrong language'],

    formula: ['Formula is not incorrect according to the laws of physics']

});

// Set specific field error messages

errors().set('name', ['Name field is off, check it out and try again', 'Name field is in wrong language']);

Validator Life Cycle Hooks

Hook into validation life cycle and add custom functionality

Available Life Cycle Hooks

before

passed

failed

after

NOTE: The "After" hook runs prior to failed or passed

All Life Cycle Hooks

May Register callbacks

May Register more than one callback

Forgets Registered callback after it's run

Registered callbacks accept the validator instance

Before Life Cycle Hook

Before validation rules are checked

Before Life Cycle Hook Example

validator(data, rules).before(validation => {
    validation.extend({
        uppercase: [
            ':attribute mst be upper case',
            ({ value }) => value === value.toUpperCase()
        ]
    })
})

After Life Cycle Example

After validation rules are checked

After Life Cycle Hook Example

// Within vue instance, you can call another method
validator(data, rules).after(validation => {
    validation.errors.add('custom', 'Add Custom Error Message')
});

Passed Life Cycle Hook

Runs when validation data passed validation rules

Passed Life Cycle Hook Example

validator(data, rules).passed((validation) => {
    axios.post('/data', data).then(response => {
        window.location = '/home';
    })
    .catch(errors => console.error)
});

Failed Life Cycle Hook

Runs when validation data failed validation rules

Failed Life Cycle Hook Example

validator(data, rules).failed(validation => {
   console.log('error messages: ', validation.errors.all())
});

Extending

extend several provided features of this package

Custom Error Messages

Custom Validation Rule

Custom Validation Rules

Extending: Custom Error Messages

Customize rule error messages

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

```js bash
import validator from 'vuejs-validators';

let data = { name: '', email: '' };

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

let messages = {
'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...',

};

let validation = validator(input, rules, messages)

## 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 ~ Add Single Rule
> `validator.extend(name, [message, rule])`


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

Extending: Custom Rules ~ Add Multiple Rules

validator.extend({ first: [message, rule], second: [message, rule], etc... })

validation.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])
    ],
});

TIP: console.log Rule Validation Context

For more advanced fields (Ex: "Required If", "Same As Fields")
you may need the entire validation "context" object.
To see the entirety of our provided validation context, hook into
a rule validator method, pass through a single; non-deconstructed parameter,
and console.log it (Checkout the example directly below)

Console Log The Validation Context

Cool Tip Example: Log The Validation Context Object To Your Console

validation.extend('uppercase', [
    ':attribute must be uppercase',
    // context
    context => {
        // console.log it to check it out
        console.log({ context });

        return context.value === context.value.toUpperCase(),
    }
]);

Utilization

import validator from 'vuejs-validators';

let form = {
    name: null,
    email: null,
    password: null,
    phone_number: null,
    confirm_password: null,
    terms_of_service: 'no',
};

let rules = {
    name: 'required|min:4|string|max:10',
    email: 'required|email|min:4|max:12',
    password: 'required|same:confirm_password|min:8',
    confirm_password: 'required|min:8',
    phone_number: 'required|phone',
    terms_of_service: 'truthy|required',
};

let messages = {
    'name.required': ':attribute is a required field',
    'name.min': ':attribute can not be less than :min characters',
    'name.string': ':attribute must be a string',
    'name.max': ':attribute may not be more than :max characters',
    'email.required': ':attribute is required',
    'email.email': ':attribute must be an email address',
    'email.min': ':attribute may not be less than :min',
    'email.max': ':attribute may not be more than :max',
    'password.same': ':attribute must have the same value as :same',
    'password.min': ':attribute may not be less than :min',
    'password.required': ':attribute is a required field',
    'phone_number.required': ':attribute is a required field',
    'phone_number.phone': ':attribute must be a valid phone number',
    'terms_of_service:truthy': ':attribute must have a truthy value ("on", "On", "yes", "Yes", "1", 1, true, "true")',
    'terms_of_service:required': ':attribute is required',
};

validator(form, rules, messages).validate();
