Validator

A client-side JavaScript validation package, based on Laravel 5.2 validation.

Installation

Included as global <script>, copy the Validator.js file inside dist directory to your project directory and reference it in the script tag. Or, you can use NPMCDN to reference it like so,
```
<head>
    <script src="public/js/Validator.js"></script>
    
    <script src="https://unpkg.com/Validator"></script>
</head>
```

Using NPM

npm install Validator --save

const Validator = require('Validator');

Usage

Basic usage

const data = {
    name: 'John Doe',
    company: 'Example Co.',
    birthday: '1985-04-16'
};

const rules = {
    name: 'required',
    // for multiple rules
    birthday: 'required|date', // can be a piped string
    company: ['required', 'string'] // can be an array of strings
};

const v = Validator.make(data, rules);

if (v.fails()) {
    const errors = v.getErrors();
    console.log(errors);
}

getErrors() will return an object containing error field as a key and array of error messages for that field.

Custom Error Messages

const messages = {
    // custom message for based rules
    required: 'You forgot the :attr field',
    email: ':attr is not valid',
    // custom message for specific rule of attribute
    'receiver.email': 'The receiver email address is not valid'
};

const v = Validator.make(data, rules, messages);

if (v.passes()) {
    //...
}

Custom Name

const v = Validator.make(data, rules, messages, { email: 'Email Address' });

Extending with Custom Validation Rules

The validator can be extended with custom rules

const rules = {
    id: 'required|mongoid'
};

function validateMongoId(name, value, params) {
    let hexadecimal = /^[0-9A-F]+$/i;
    return value && hexadecimal.test(value) && value.length === 24;
}

const v = Validator.make(data, rules);
v.extend('mongoid', validateMongoId, ':attr is not a valid mongo id');

if (v.passes()) {
    //...
}

validator.extend takes three required parameters:

name: the name of the custom rule
callback: called when the rule is checked
validationMessage: error message text on validation failure

The validation callback receives three parameters:

name: the field name being validated
value: the given value in the data
params: Any parameters, passed after the colon in the rule definition.

Params defined ike so: rulename:min=10,max=15 would be passed in as an array: ['min=10', 'max=15']
