gl_field_error.js 4.92 KB
/**
 * This class overrides the browser's validation error bubbles, displaying custom
 * error messages for invalid fields instead. To begin validating any form, add the
 * class `gl-show-field-errors` to the form element, and ensure error messages are
 * declared in each inputs' `title` attribute. If no title is declared for an invalid
 * field the user attempts to submit, "This field is required." will be shown by default.
 *
 * Opt not to validate certain fields by adding the class `gl-field-error-ignore` to the input.
 *
 * Set a custom error anchor for error message to be injected after with the
 * class `gl-field-error-anchor`
 *
 * Examples:
 *
 * Basic:
 *
 * <form class='gl-show-field-errors'>
 *  <input type='text' name='username' title='Username is required.'/>
 * </form>
 *
 * Ignore specific inputs (e.g. UsernameValidator):
 *
 * <form class='gl-show-field-errors'>
 *   <div class="form-group>
 *     <input type='text' class='gl-field-errors-ignore' pattern='[a-zA-Z0-9-_]+'/>
 *   </div>
 *   <div class="form-group">
 *      <input type='text' name='username' title='Username is required.'/>
 *    </div>
 * </form>
 *
 * Custom Error Anchor (allows error message to be injected after specified element):
 *
 * <form class='gl-show-field-errors'>
 *  <div class="form-group gl-field-error-anchor">
 *    <input type='text' name='username' title='Username is required.'/>
 *    // Error message typically injected here
 *  </div>
 *  // Error message now injected here
 * </form>
 *
