VeeValidate is a library for React.js that allows you to validate input fields, and display errors.
This plugin is inspired by PHP Framework Laravel's validation.
npm install ree-validate --save
yarn add ree-validate
import ReeValidate from 'ree-validate'
install classnames for easily manage the classes
npm i -S classnames
import classnames from 'classnames'
Now create a new class and bind errors bag with state.
class Page extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props)
this.validator = new ReeValidate.Validator({
email: 'required|email',
password: 'required|min:3',
})
this.state = {
formData: {
email: '',
password: '',
},
errors: this.validator.errors,
}
this.onChange = this.onChange.bind(this)
this.validateAndSubmit = this.validateAndSubmit.bind(this)
}
onChange(e) {
const name = e.target.name
const value = e.target.value
const { errors } = this.validator
// reset errors for url field
errors.remove(name)
// update form data
this.setState({ formData: { ...this.state.formData, [name]: value } })
this.validator.validate(name, value)
.then(() => {
this.setState({ errors })
})
}
submit(formData) {
console.log(formData)
}
async validateAndSubmit(e) {
e.preventDefault()
const { formData } = this.state
const { errors } = this.validator
const valid = this.validator.validateAll(formData)
if (valid) {
this.submit(formData)
} else {
this.setState({ errors })
}
}
render() {
const { errors } = this.state
return (<form id="sign_in" onSubmit={this.validateAndSubmit}>
<div className="msg">Sign in to start your session</div>
<div className="input-group">
<span className="input-group-addon">
<i className="material-icons">person</i>
</span>
<div className={classnames('form-line', { 'error': errors.has('email')})}>
<input type="email"
id="email"
className="form-control"
name="email"
placeholder="Email"
required
onChange={this.onChange}
autoFocus/>
</div>
{ errors.has('email') &&
<label id="name-error" className="error" htmlFor="email">{ errors.first('email') }</label>
}
</div>
<div className="input-group">
<span className="input-group-addon">
<i className="material-icons">lock</i>
</span>
<div className={classnames('form-line', { 'error': errors.has('password')})}>
<input type="password"
id="password"
className="form-control"
name="password"
placeholder="Password"
required
onChange={this.onChange}/>
</div>
{ errors.has('password') &&
<label id="name-error" className="error" htmlFor="password">{ errors.first('password') }</label>
}
</div>
<div className="row">
<div className="col-xs-8 p-t-5">
<input type="checkbox" name="rememberme" id="rememberme" className="filled-in chk-col-pink"/>
<label htmlFor="rememberme">Remember Me</label>
</div>
<div className="col-xs-4">
<button className="btn btn-block bg-pink waves-effect" type="submit">SIGN IN</button>
</div>
</div>
<div className="row m-t-15 m-b--20">
<div className="col-xs-6">
<a href="sign-up.html">Register Now!</a>
</div>
<div className="col-xs-6 align-right">
<a href="forgot-password.html">Forgot Password?</a>
</div>
</div>
</form>)
}
}
export default Page
import React, { Component } from 'react'
import PropTypes from 'prop-types'
import ReeValidate from 'ree-validate'
import fr from 'ree-validate/dist/locale/fr'
class Page extends Component {
static displayName = 'RegisterPage'
static propTypes = {
// validate props
}
constructor(props) {
super(props)
this.validator = new ReeValidate.Validator({
email: 'required|email',
password: 'required|min:6'
})
this.validator.localize('fr', fr)
}
render() {
// render component
}
}
export default Page
You can also use the following hoc
note: it is not yet part of the package
import * as React from 'react'
import { Validator } from 'ree-validate'
export default function withValidator(Component, fields){
class withValidator extends React.Component{
validator = new Validator()
_isMounted = false
constructor(props: any) {
super(props)
this.attachRules(fields)
this.state = {
errors: this.validator.errors,
}
}
componentDidMount() {
this._isMounted = true
}
componentWillUnmount() {
this._isMounted = false
}
validateAll = async (data: any) => {
const { errors } = this.validator
for (let fieldName in data) {
if (data.hasOwnProperty(fieldName)) {
if (errors.has(fieldName)) {
errors.remove(fieldName)
}
}
}
const isValid = await this.validator.validateAll(data)
if (this._isMounted) {
this.setState({ errors })
}
return isValid
}
validateOne = async ({ name, value }: { name: string, value: any }) => {
const { errors } = this.validator
if (errors.has(name)) {
errors.remove(name)
}
const isValid = await this.validator.validate(name, value)
if (this._isMounted) {
this.setState({ errors })
}
return isValid
}
validate = (data: any, multi: boolean = true) => {
if (multi) {
return this.validateAll(data)
}
return this.validateOne(data)
}
clearErrors = (fieldName: ?string) => {
const { errors } = this.validator
if (fieldName) {
errors.remove(fieldName)
} else {
errors.clear()
}
if (this._isMounted) {
this.setState({ errors })
}
}
attachRules = (field: Field | Array<Field>) => {
if (isArray(field)) {
field.forEach((f: Field) => {
this.attachRules(f)
})
} else {
this.detachRules(field)
this.validator.attach(field)
}
}
detachRules = (field: Field | Array<Field>) => {
if (isArray(field)) {
field.forEach((f: Field) => {
this.detachRules(f)
})
} else {
if (this.validator.fields.find({ name: field.name })) {
this.validator.detach(field.name)
}
}
}
addErrors = (field: string, message: any) => {
const { errors } = this.validator
if (errors.has(field)) {
errors.remove(field)
}
errors.add(field, message)
if (this._isMounted) {
this.setState({ errors })
}
}
render() {
return <Component {...this.props}
validator={this.validator}
validate={this.validate}
attachRules={this.attachRules}
detachRules={this.detachRules}
errors={this.state.errors}
addErrors={this.addErrors}
clearErrors={this.clearErrors}/>
}
}
withValidator.displayName = `withValidator_${Component.displayName || Component.name}`
return withValidator
}then use this hoc as following
class Page extends React.Component<*, State> {
static displayName = 'Login Page'
state = {
form: {
username: null,
password: null,
},
}
handleChange = async (name: string, value: any) => {
const isValid = await this.props.validateOne(name, value)
console.log(this.props.errors)
}
handleSubmit = async (evt) => {
evt.preventDefault()
const isValid = await this.props.validateAll(this.state.form)
console.log(this.props.errors)
}
render() {
console.log(this.props)
}
}
export default withValidator(Page, [
{
name: 'username',
rules: 'required',
alias: 'Username',
},
{
name: 'password',
rules: 'required',
alias: 'Password',
},
])ReeValidate comes with a bunch of validation rules out of the box and they are all localized and cover most validation needs:
after
alpha
alpha_dash
alpha_num
alpha_spaces
before
between
confirmed
credit_card
date_between
date_format
decimal
digits
dimensions
email
ext
image
included
integer
ip
is
is_not
length
max
max_value
mimes
min
min_value
excluded
numeric
regex
required
required_if
size
url
This library uses ES6 Promises so be sure to provide a polyfill for it for the browsers that does not support it.
- Some validations/test scenarios are provided/based on validator.js.
- Inspired by Laravel's validation syntax.
