Validation component for react forms

Simple form validation component for react forms inspired by formsy-react

Default validation rules:

• matchRegexp
• isEmail
• isEmpty
• required
• trim
• isNumber
• isFloat
• isPositive
• minNumber
• maxNumber
• minFloat
• maxFloat
• isString
• minStringLength
• maxStringLength
• maxFileSize
• allowedExtensions

Some rules can accept extra parameter, example:

<YourValidationInput
   {...someProps}
   validators={['minNumber:0', 'maxNumber:255', 'matchRegexp:^[0-9]$']}
/>

Usage

import React from 'react';
import { ValidatorComponent } from 'react-form-validator-core';

class TextValidator extends ValidatorComponent {

    render() {
        const { errorMessages, validators, requiredError, validatorListener, ...rest } = this.props;

        return (
            <div>
                <input
                    {...rest}
                    ref={(r) => { this.input = r; }}
                />
                {this.errorText()}
            </div>
        );
    }

    errorText() {
        const { isValid } = this.state;

        if (isValid) {
            return null;
        }

        return (
            <div style={{ color: 'red' }}>
                {this.getErrorMessage()}
            </div>
        );
    }
}

export default TextValidator;

...
import { ValidatorForm } from 'react-form-validator-core';
...
render() {
    return (
        <ValidatorForm
            ref="form"
            onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}
        >
            <TextValidator
                onChange={this.handleChange}
                name="email"
                value={email}
                validators={['required', 'isEmail']}
                errorMessages={['this field is required', 'email is not valid']}
            />
            <button type="submit">submit</button>
        </ValidatorForm>
    );
}
...

class FileValidator extends ValidatorComponent {
  render() {
    const { errorMessages, validators, requiredError, validatorListener, value, ...rest } = this.props;
    return (
      <div>
        <input type="file" {...rest}>
        {this.errorText()}
      </div>
    );
  }

  errorText() {
    const { isValid } = this.state;

    if (isValid) {
      return null;
    }

    return <div style={{ color: "red" }}>{this.getErrorMessage()}</div>;
  }
}
export default FileValidator;

...
import { ValidatorForm } from 'react-form-validator-core';
...
render() {
    return (
        <ValidatorForm
            ref="form"
            onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}
        >
            <FileValidator
                onChange={this.handleChange}
                name="file"
                type="file"
                value={file}
                validators={['isFile', 'maxFileSize:' + 1 * 1024 * 1024, 'allowedExtensions:image/png,image/jpeg']}
                errorMessages={['File is not valid', 'Size must not exceed 1MB', 'Only png and jpeg']}
            />
            <button type="submit">submit</button>
        </ValidatorForm>
    );
}
...

You can add your own rules

ValidatorForm.addValidationRule('isPasswordMatch', (value) => {
    if (value !== this.state.user.password) {
        return false;
    }
    return true;
});

Get them

ValidatorForm.getValidationRule('isPasswordMatch');

Remove them

ValidatorForm.removeValidationRule('isPasswordMatch');

And check is validation rule already in list

ValidatorForm.hasValidationRule('isPasswordMatch');

Migration guide

From 0.x to 1.x

Breaking changes was introduced in order to avoid legacy context. You should change render method of your input components to renderValidatorComponent.

Before:

import React from 'react';
import { ValidatorComponent } from 'react-form-validator-core';

class TextValidator extends ValidatorComponent {
    render() {
        // return your validated component
    }
}

export default TextValidator;

After:

import React from 'react';
import { ValidatorComponent } from 'react-form-validator-core';

class TextValidator extends ValidatorComponent {
    renderValidatorComponent() {
        // return your validated component
    }
}

export default TextValidator;
