Create validation rules. (Validator.js)

const validations = {
  username: [
    {
      rule: 'isLength',
      args: { min: 4, max: 32 },
      invalidFeedback: 'please provide a username (min: 4, max: 32)'
    }
  ],
  email: [
    {
      rule: 'isEmail',
      invalidFeedback: 'please provide a valid email'
    }
  ],
  message: [
    {
      rule: 'isLength',
      args: { min: 1 },
      invalidFeedback: 'please provide a message'
    }
  ]
}

Build your form.

<Form postUrl='http://site.com/post'>
  <div>
    <Input
      type='text'
      name='username'
      placeholder='username'
      validations={validations.username}
      />
  </div>

  <div>
    <Input
      type='email'
      name='email'
      placeholder='email'
      validations={validations.email}
      />
  </div>

  <div>
    <Textarea
      name='message'
      placeholder='message'
      validations={validations.message}
      />
  </div>

  <div>
    <input type='submit' value='submit' />
  </div>
</Form>

Add .is-invalid and .invalid-feedback classes into your CSS.

.is-invalid {
  border: 1px solid #dc3545;
}
.invalid-feedback {
  display: none;
  color: #dc3545;
}
.is-invalid~.invalid-feedback {
  display: block;
}

Make sure you add the errors to the validations object in backend.

app.post('/signup', (req, res) => {
  const result = {
    validations: {}
  }

  if (req.body.username === 'john') {
    result.validations.username = 'john is already registered'
  }

  res.send(result)
})
