Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Pristine - Vanilla javascript form validation library

{:.hide}

~4kb minified, ~2kb gzipped, no dependencies

Living demo

Some examples of use can be found here.

Usage

Include the javascript file in your html head or just before the closing body tag

<script src="dist/pristine.js"  type="text/javascript"></script>

Now create some form and validate

window.onload = function () {

    var form = document.getElementById("form1");

    // create the pristine instance
    var pristine = new Pristine(form);

    form.addEventListener('submit', function (e) {
       e.preventDefault();
       
       // check if the form is valid
       var valid = pristine.validate(); // returns true or false

    });
};

That's it

It automatically validates required, min, max, minlength, maxlength attributes and the value of type attributes like email, number and more..

Pristine takes 3 parameters

  • form The form element

  • config An object containing the configuration. Default is bootstrap's configuration which is

let defaultConfig = {
    // class of the parent element where the error/success class is added
    classTo: 'form-group',
    errorClass: 'has-danger',
    successClass: 'has-success',
    // class of the parent element where error text element is appended
    errorTextParent: 'form-group',
    // type of element to create for the error text
    errorTextTag: 'div',
    // class of the error text element
    errorTextClass: 'text-help' 
};
  • live A boolean value indicating whether pristine should validate as you type, default is true

Install

$ npm install pristinejs --save

Custom Validator

pristine.addValidator(nameOrElem, handler, errorMessage, priority, halt);

Add a custom validator to a field

var pristine = new Pristine(document.getElementById("form1"));

var elem = document.getElementById("email");

// A validator to check if the first letter is capitalized
pristine.addValidator(elem, function(value) {
    // here `this` refers to the respective input element
    if (value.length && value[0] === value[0].toUpperCase()){
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}, "The first character must be capitalized", 2, false);

Add a global custom validator

// A validator to check if the input value is within a specified range
// Global validators must be added before creating the pristine instance

Pristine.addValidator("my-range", function(value, param1, param2) {
    // here `this` refers to the respective input element
    return parseInt(param1) <= value && value <= parseInt(param2)
    
}, "The value (${0}) must be between ${1} and ${2}", 5, false);

Now you can assign it to your inputs like this

<input type="text" class="form-control" data-pristine-my-range="10,30" />

Add custom error messages

<input required data-pristine-required-message="My custom message"/>

Add an attribute like data-pristine-<ValidatorName>-messagewith the custom message as value to show custom error messages. You can add custom messages like this for as many validators as you need. Here ValidatorName means required, email, min, max etc.

Built-in validators

| Name | Usage | Description| | --- | ---- | ----- | | required | required or data-pristine-required | Validates required fields| | email | type="email" or data-pristine-type="email"| Validates email| | number| type="number" or data-pristine-type="number"| | | integer| data-pristine-type="integer"| | | minlength | minlength="10" or data-pristine-minlength="10" | | | maxlength | maxlength="10" or data-pristine-maxlength="10" | | | min | min="20" or data-pristine-min="20" | | | max | max="100" or data-pristine-max="100" | | | pattern | pattern="/[a-z]+$/i" or data-pristine-pattern="/[a-z]+$/i", \ must be escaped (replace with \\) || | equals | data-pristine-equals="#field-selector"| Check that two fields are equal |

API

Pristine(form, config, live) Constructor

| Parameter | Default | Required? | Description| | --- | ---- | ----- | ---- | | form| - | |The form element| | config| See above|| The config object| | live | true|| Whether pristine should validate as you type|

pristine.validate(inputs, silent) Validate the form or field(s)

| Parameter | Default | Required? | Description| | --- | ---- | ---- | --- | | inputs| - | | When not given, full form is validated. inputs can be one DOM element or a collection of DOM elements returned by document.getElement..., document.querySelector... or even jquery dom| | silent | false|| Does not show error messages when silent is true|

pristine.addValidator(elem, fn, msg, priority, halt) Add a custom validator

| Parameter | Default | Required? | Description| | --- | ---- | ----- | --- | | elem| - | | The dom element where validator is applied to.| | fn| - | | The function that validates the field. Value of the input field gets passed as the first parameter, and the attribute value (split using comma) as the subsequent parameters. For example, for <input data-pristine-my-validator="10,20,dhaka" value="myValue"/>, validator function get called like fn("myValue", 10, 20, "dhaka"). Inside the function this refers to the input element| | message| - | | The message to show when the validation fails. It supports simple templating. ${0} for the input's value, ${1} and so on are for the attribute values. For the above example, ${0} will get replaced by myValue, ${1} by 10, ${2} by 20, ${3} by dhaka. It can also be a function which should return the error string. The values and inputs are available as function arguments| | priority| 1 | | Priority of the validator function. The higher the value, the earlier it gets called when there are multiple validators on one field. | | halt| false | | Whether to halt validation on the current field after this validation. When true after validating the current validator, rest of the validators are ignored on the current field.|

Pristine.addValidator(name, fn, msg, priority, halt) Add a global custom validator

| Parameter | Default | Required? | Description| | --- | ---- | ----- | --- | | name| - | | A string, the name of the validator, you can then use data-pristine-<NAME> attribute in form fields to apply this validator| | ....| - | - | Other parameters same as above |

pristine.getErrors(input) Get the errors of the form or a specific field

| Parameter | Default | Required? | Description| | --- | ---- | ----- | --- | | input| - | | When input is given, it returns the errors of that input element, otherwise returns all errors of the form as an object, using input element as key and corresponding errors as value. validate() must be called before expecting this method to return correctly.|

pristine.addError(input, error) Add A custom error to an input element

| Parameter | Default | Required? | Description| | --- | ---- | ----- | --- | | input| - | | The input element to which the error should be given| | error| - | | The error string|

pristine.setGlobalConfig(config) Set the global configuration

Pristine.addMessages(locale, messages) Set the current locale globally

| Parameter | Default | Required? | Description| | --- | ---- | ----- | --- | | locale| - | | The corresponding locale| | messages| - | |Object containing validator names as keys and error texts as values |

pristine.reset() Reset the errors in the form
