Validation Client side

Client side validation

The validation of input strings is performed by the jQuery plugin JQUERY-FORM-VALIDATOR

In order to use this plugin, you need to add a tag to each form element you want to validate, for example data-validation="required numeric" and if a range is defined also f.e. data-validation-length="min4"

Ensure that you have enabled late binding of the javascript file in your pages php

$pagedata['footincludes']['js'][]= 'form-validator/jquery.form-validator.min.js';

To interact with the server side validation class, a php interface function was written:

$valoutput = getFormvalidatorString($validationstring,$preset='',$onlypreset='')

The $validationstring should be exactly like on the server side (f.e. 'required|minlength[4]')

The function output should be placed with the control html f.e.:

<input id="myid" -$valoutput- >

Example Validation Input

<input id="myid" data-validation="required numeric" data-validation-length="min4" />

Example Validation Call

$('#myid' ).validate(function(valid, elem) {
         if (valid) {
	         console.log('It is Valid');
         } else {
              console.log('It is Invalid');
         }
} );

The result in this case would be true.
