VueForm.js Recommended
- vuejs-validators.js can stand independently
- vuejs-form.js is a zero non-dev dependency package
- This vuejs-validators.js package was built to support vuejs-form.js
VueForm Playground Examples (Implementing Vuejs-validators.js)
Vue Example One
Show First Error For Each Field And
Only Validate Form (AKA find errors) when Form Data is submitted
<template>
<div>
<input type='text' v-model='form.name' />
<span v-if="form.errors().has('name')" v-text="form.errors().get('email')"></span>
<input type='email' v-model='form.email' />
<span v-if="form.errors().has('email')" v-text="form.errors().get('email')"></span>
<input type='password' v-model='form.password' />
<span v-if="form.errors().has('password')" v-text="form.errors().get('password')"></span>
<input type='password' v-model='form.password_confirmation' />
<span v-if="form.errors().has('password_confirmation')" v-text="form.errors().get('password_confirmation')"></span>
<hr>
<button :disabled='form.empty()' @click='submit'>
Complete
</button>
</div>
</template>
import form from 'vuejs-form'
export default {
data: () => ({
form: form({
email: '',
password: '',
password_confirmation: ''
})
.rules({
email: 'email|min:5|required',
password: 'required|min:5|confirmed'
})
.messages({
'email.email': 'Email field must be an email (durr)',
'password.confirmed': 'Whoops, :attribute value does not match :confirmed value',
}),
}),
methods: {
submit() {
if (this.form.validate().errors().any()) return;
console.log('submit: ', this.form.only('email', 'password'));
console.log('submit: ', this.form.except('password_confirmation'));
},
}
}
Vue Example Two
Show all form errors for all form fields
Re-validate Form Any time user updates form data for any field
<template>
<div>
<div v-if="form.errors().any()" v-for="(message, key) in form.errors().list()" :key="`${key}.error`">
{{ message }}
</div>
<input type='email' v-model='form.email' /> <br>
<input type='password' v-model='form.password' /> <br>
<input type='password' v-model='form.password_confirmation' /> <br>
<hr>
<button :disabled='form.empty()' @click='submit'>
Complete
</button>
</div>
</template>
import form from 'vuejs-form'
export default {
data: () => ({
form: form({
email: '',
password: '',
password_confirmation: ''
})
.rules({
email: 'email|min:5|required',
password: 'required|min:5|confirmed'
})
.messages({
'email.email': ':attribute must be a valid email',
'email.min': ':attribute may not have less than :min characters',
'password.confirmed': 'Whoops, :attribute value does not match :confirmed value',
}),
}),

VueJS Form & VueJS Validators Together (Recommended for best development experience, but ultimately optional)
- (npm)
- (github)
- Fast Setup
- Zero Dependencies
- Tested Thoroughly
- Simplified Syntax
- Extremely Lightweight
- Simplified Extendability Did You Know? Individually, each package has ZERO Non-Dev Dependencies & can be used independently, but ultimately were built in parallel with each other.

Add
errors().add('company', 'Your company is important to us, add the proper information so others can learn about it to!');
# errors.list('company')
[
'Company field is required',
'Company field must have no more than 15 characters',
'Your company is important to us, add the proper information so others can learn about it to!'
]
All
Return "all" error messages as object of fields with list of their error messages
errors().all();
{
name: ['Name field is required', 'Name field must have at lest 3 characters'],
email: ['Email field must be an email', 'Email field must have at least 3 characters']
}
Any
Determine if there are currently "any" error messages within error bag
errors().any();
true: If there are any error messages
false: If there are NOT any error messages
Force Macro
Force macro acts the same as macro, with the option to forcefully override core functions and already existing macros.
(Use with caution).
Note See forceLocalMacro to only apply the method on a specific instance instead of globally on the prototype constructor
errors().get('name');
// Output: 'Name field is required'
errors().forceMacro('get', function (field) {
return this.list(field).join(', ');
});
errors().get('name');
// Output: 'Name field is required, Name field can not be greater than 3 characters, Name field must be a string'
Forget
Forget error messages on all fields or optionally on a specific field
errors.forget(); // Forget errors messages for all fields
errors.forget('name'); // only forget the error messages for a specific field
Get
Get first available error message on a given field
errors.get('name');
Has
Check if a specific field "has" error messages
errors.has('name');
List
List all error messages or optionally list all array messages for a specific field
errors.list(); // ['Name is a required field']
errors.list('name'); // ['Name is a required field']
errors.list('email'); // ['Email field must be an email', 'Email is a required field']
Macro
Extend errors message bag instance using macros
Note See localMacro to only apply the method on a specific instance instead of globally on the prototype constructor
errors().macro('count', function () {
return this.list().length();
});
// errors().count() === errors().list().count();
Set
Set all error messages, or optionally set given fields error messages
// Set all fields error messages
errors().set({
name: ['Name field is off, check it out and try again', 'Name field is in wrong language'],
formula: ['Formula is not incorrect according to the laws of physics']
});
// Set specific field error messages
errors().set('name', ['Name field is off, check it out and try again', 'Name field is in wrong language']);
Validator Life Cycle Hooks
Hook into validation life cycle and add custom functionality
Available Life Cycle Hooks
- before
- passed
- failed
- after
NOTE: The "After" hook runs prior to failed or passed
All Life Cycle Hooks
- May Register callbacks
- May Register more than one callback
- Forgets Registered callback after it's run
- Registered callbacks accept the validator instance
Before Life Cycle Hook
Before validation rules are checked
Before Life Cycle Hook Example
validator(data, rules).before(validation => {
validation.extend({
uppercase: [
':attribute mst be upper case',
({ value }) => value === value.toUpperCase()
]
})
})
After Life Cycle Example
After validation rules are checked
After Life Cycle Hook Example
// Within vue instance, you can call another method
validator(data, rules).after(validation => {
validation.errors.add('custom', 'Add Custom Error Message')
});
Passed Life Cycle Hook
Runs when validation data passed validation rules
Passed Life Cycle Hook Example
validator(data, rules).passed((validation) => {
axios.post('/data', data).then(response => {
window.location = '/home';
})
.catch(errors => console.error)
});
Failed Life Cycle Hook
Runs when validation data failed validation rules
Failed Life Cycle Hook Example
validator(data, rules).failed(validation => {
console.log('error messages: ', validation.errors.all())
});
Extending
extend several provided features of this package
- Custom Error Messages
- Custom Validation Rule
- Custom Validation Rules
Extending: Custom Error Messages
Customize rule error messages
- Globally, each rule provides a default error message
- Easily override rule's default error message
- Simply pass 'messages' to our validator
- Only override messages you want to
import validator from 'vuejs-validators';
let data = { name: '', email: '' };
let rules = {
name: ['min:3', 'max:12', 'string', 'required'],
email: ['email', 'required']
};
let messages = {
'name.min': 'Whoops! :attribute is less than :min characters',
'name.required': 'Wha oh, doesnt look like there any value for your :attribute field',
'email.email': 'Really? Email is called Email...it has to be an email...',
};
let validation = validator(input, rules, messages)
Extending: Custom Rules
Add Your Own Validation Rules
- Easily add, or override, validation rules
- Add a group of rules at a time
- Add a single rule add a time
Extending: Custom Rules ~ Add Single Rule
validator.extend(name, [message, rule])
validator(data, rules).extend('uppercase', [
':attribute must be uppercase',
({ value, validator, parameters }) => value === value.toUpperCase(),
]);
Extending: Custom Rules ~ Add Multiple Rules
validator.extend({ first: [message, rule], second: [message, rule], etc... })
validation.extend({
uppercase: [
':attribute must be uppercase',
({ value }) => value === value.toUpperCase(),
],
not_uppercase: [
':attribute must not be uppercase',
({ value }) => value !== value.toUpperCase()
],
required_without: [
':attribute is only required when form is missing :required_without field',
({ validator, parameters }) => !Object.keys(validator.data).includes(parameters[0])
],
required_with: [
':attribute is required with the :required_with field',
({ validator, parameters }) => Object.keys(validator.data).includes(parameters[0])
],
});
TIP: console.log Rule Validation Context
For more advanced fields (Ex: "Required If", "Same As Fields") you may need the entire validation "context" object. To see the entirety of our provided validation context, hook into a rule validator method, pass through a single; non-deconstructed parameter, and console.log it (Checkout the example directly below)
Console Log The Validation Context
Cool Tip Example: Log The Validation Context Object To Your Console
validation.extend('uppercase', [
':attribute must be uppercase',
// context
context => {
// console.log it to check it out
console.log({ context });
return context.value === context.value.toUpperCase(),
}
]);
