SmartValidator

A JavaScript validator that works with dynamic form elements created by MV* frameworks such as KnockoutJS and AngularJS.

##Install In your shell/command window, CD to your project directory, then type:

npm install smartvalidator

or

bower install smartvalidator

##Usage

// For Angular frameworks, inject `$smartValidator` into your controller 
// and call the `init` method with the form ID or form element reference, plus optional settings overrides.
// For example we inject $smartValidator into an Angular controller:
angular.module('app', ['smart.validator'])

    .controller('contactCtrl', ['$scope', '$smartValidator', function($scope, $smartValidator){
        
        $scope.favNumbers = ['42', 'Phi', 'Pi', 'Primes', 'Avogadro\'s'];
        $scope.FullName = null;
        $scope.Email = null;
        $scope.FavoriteNumber = $scope.favNumbers[0];
        $scope.Agreement = false;
        $scope.Stack = null;
        $scope.Classification = null;
        $scope.complete = false;
        
        $scope.submit = function(){
            // Submit form data
            return false;    
        };
        
        // Example options overrides
        var opts = {
            // Overrides for required input selector
            // The default is `*.required,*[required],*[data-required],*[data-ng-required],*[ng-required]`
            selector: '*[required]',

            // Some action to take when the form is complete/valid.
            callback: function (complete, totalRequired, totalIncomplete, $smartValidator) {
                // Show the Submit button if the form is complete.
                $scope.complete = complete;
            },

            // The interval (in milliseconds) to run the validator
            interval: 100
        };
        
        // Initialize the validator
        $smartValidator.validate('form_container', opts);
        
    }]);

###Vanilla JS

// Simply instantiate `SmartValidator` for non-Angular frameworks

var sv = new SmartValidator();

var btnSubmit = document.getElementById('btn-submit');

var opts = {
    // Overrides for required input selector
    // The default is `*.required,*[required],*[data-required],*[data-ng-required],*[ng-required]`
    selector: '*[required]',

    // Some action to take when the form is complete/valid.
    callback: function (complete, totalRequired, totalIncomplete, smartValidator) {
        // Show the Submit button if the form is complete.
        
        if(complete){
            smartValidator.$utils.show(btnSubmit);
        }
        else{
            smartValidator.$utils.hide(btnSubmit);
        }
    },

    // The interval (in milliseconds) to run the validator
    interval: 100
};
        
var intervalId = sv.validate(/*element/id*/'form_container', /*opts:*/ opts);

###Example Form

###Validate Input Formatting To validate the formatting of email, phone, SSN, zip code, or date fields add the corresponding class names to each input element:

• email
• phone
• ssn
• zip
• date

For example:

    <input name="Email" class="email" />

    <input name="Phone" class="phone" />
    
    <input name="Date" class="date" />
    
    <input name="SSN" class="ssn" />
    
    <input name="Zip" class="zip" />
