## Abide Demo
|
|
|
|
These input types create a text field: `text`, `date`, `datetime`, `datetime-local`, `email`, `month`, `number`, `password`, `search`, `tel`, `time`, `url` and `week`. Note the use of the novalidate attribute to disable any browser validation that could conflict with Abide.

### Form Errors
|
|
|
|
Abide automatically detects Form Errors of an input by their class (`.form-error` by default, see the `formErrorSelector` option) when they are siblings of the input or inside the same parent.
|
|
|
|
When the Form Errors cannot be placed next to its field, like in an Input Group, the relation can be declared with `[data-form-error-for]` attribute.
|
|
|
|
```html_example
|
|
<form data-abide novalidate>
|
|
<div data-abide-error class="sr-only">
|
|
There are some errors in your form.
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div>
|
|
Amount
|
|
<div class="input-group">
|
|
<span class="input-group-label">$</span>
|
|
<input class="input-group-field" id="example3Input" type="number" required pattern="number"/>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<label class="form-error" data-form-error-for="example3Input">Amount is required.</label>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<button class="button" type="submit" value="Submit">Submit</button>
|
|
</form>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Initial State
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<form data-abide>
|
|
<!-- Add "display: none" right away -->
|
|
<div data-abide-error class="alert callout" aria-live="assertive" style="display: none;">
|
|
<p><i class="fi-alert"></i> There are some errors in your form.</p>
|

|
<label>

|
|
<input id="example4Input" aria-describedby="example4Error" type="text" required>
|
|
<span id="example4Error" class="form-error">This field is required.</span>
|
|
</label>
|
|
</form>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Error State
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<form data-abide>

<!-- Add "display: block" -->

## Ignored Inputs
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<form data-abide>
|
|
<div class="grid-x grid-margin-x">
|
|
<div class="cell small-12">
|
|

|
|
<fieldset class="cell small-12">
|
|
<button class="button" type="submit" value="Submit">Submit</button>

<fieldset class="cell small-12">
|
|
<button class="button" type="reset" value="Reset">Reset</button>
|
|
</fieldset>
|
|
</div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
</form>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Event Listener
|
|
Setup event listener after foundation is initialized (especially for formvalid/forminvalid). Easier to chain via document selector.
|
|
* valid.zf.abide and invalid.zf.abide are field level events, triggered in validateInput function
|
|
* ev.target is the DOM field element,
|
|
* elem is jQuery selector for field element
|
|
* formvalid.zf.abide and forminvalid.zf.abide are form events, triggered in validateForm function
|
|
* ev.target is the DOM form element,
|
|
* frm is jQuery selector for form element
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
$(document)
|
|
// field element is invalid
|
|
.on("invalid.zf.abide", function(ev,elem) {
|
|
console.log("Field id "+ev.target.id+" is invalid");
|
|
})
|
|
// field element is valid
|
|
.on("valid.zf.abide", function(ev,elem) {
|
|
console.log("Field name "+elem.attr('name')+" is valid");
|
|
})
|
|
// form validation failed
|
|
.on("forminvalid.zf.abide", function(ev,frm) {
|
|
console.log("Form id "+ev.target.id+" is invalid");
|
|
})
|
|
// form validation passed, form will submit if submit event not returned false
|
|
.on("formvalid.zf.abide", function(ev,frm) {
|
|
console.log("Form id "+frm.attr('id')+" is valid");
|
|
// ajax post form
|
|
})
|
|
// to prevent form from submitting upon successful validation
|
|
.on("submit", function(ev) {
|
|
ev.preventDefault();
|
|
console.log("Submit for form id "+ev.target.id+" intercepted");
|
|
});
|
|
// You can bind field or form event selectively
|
|
$("#foo").on("invalid.zf.abide", function(ev,el) {
|
|
alert("Input field foo is invalid");
|
|
});
|
|
$("#bar").on("formvalid.zf.abide", function(ev,frm) {
|
|
alert("Form is valid, finally!");
|
|
// do something perhaps
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Builtin Patterns and Validators
|
|
|
|
The following patterns and validators are already built in:
|
|
|
|
`alpha`,
|
|
`alpha_numeric`,
|
|
`card`,
|
|
`color`
|
|
`cvv`,
|
|
`date`,
|
|
`dateISO`,
|
|
`datetime`,
|
|
`day_month_year`,
|
|
`domain`,
|
|
`email`,
|
|
`integer`,
|
|
`month_day_year`,
|
|
`number`,
|
|
`time`,
|
|
`url`
|
|
|
|
Apart from these standard patterns, we have a `website` pattern too which is basically a combo of both `domain` and `url` pattern and we recommend you to use this `website` pattern for validating websites.
|
|
|
|
They are defined by regular expressions as you can see below. Note, that the patterns that relate to text such as `alpha` and `alpha_numeric` do not consider special characters from other languages. You need to add these special characters yourself to the regular expressions. For instance, for the German language you need to add:
|
|
|
|
```JS
|
|
alpha : /^[a-zäöüßA-ZÄÖÜ]+$/,
|
|
alpha_numeric : /^[a-zäöüßA-ZÄÖÜ0-9]+$/,
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then you need to customize the builtin patterns as explained in the next section. Otherwise Abide will produce an error if a special character is input in your text field which is validated with `pattern="alpha"` or `pattern="alpha_numeric"`.
|
|
|
|
Here are the definitions of the builtin patterns:
|
|
|
|
```JS
|
|
alpha : /^[a-zA-Z]+$/,
|
|
alpha_numeric : /^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$/,
|
|
integer : /^[-+]?\d+$/,
|
|
number : /^[-+]?\d*(?:[\.\,]\d+)?$/,
|
|
|
|
// amex, visa, diners
|
|
card : /^(?:4[0-9]{12}(?:[0-9]{3})?|5[1-5][0-9]{14}|6(?:011|5[0-9][0-9])[0-9]{12}|3[47][0-9]{13}|3(?:0[0-5]|[68][0-9])[0-9]{11}|(?:2131|1800|35\d{3})\d{11})$/,
|
|
cvv : /^([0-9]){3,4}$/,
|
|
|
|
// http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/states-of-the-type-attribute.html#valid-e-mail-address

|
|
return Abide.defaults.patterns['domain'].test(text) || Abide.defaults.patterns['url'].test(text);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Adding Custom Pattern and Validator
|
|
* Override builtin patterns and validators before foundation is initialized
|
|
* Add new patterns and validators before or after foundation is initialized
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
function myCustomValidator(
|
|
$el, /* jQuery element to validate */
|
|
required, /* is the element required according to the `[required]` attribute */
|
|
parent /* parent of the jQuery element `$el` */
|
|
) {
|
|
if (!required) return true;
|
|
var from = $('#'+$el.attr('data-greater-than')).val(),
|
|
to = $el.val();
|
|
return (parseInt(to) > parseInt(from));
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
// Set default options
|
|
Foundation.Abide.defaults.patterns['dashes_only'] = /^[0-9-]*$/;
|
|
Foundation.Abide.defaults.validators['greater_than'] = myCustomValidator;
|
|
|
|
// Initialize Foundation
|
|
$(document).foundation();
|
|
```
|
|
```html
|
|
<input id="phone" type="text" pattern="dashes_only" required >
|
|
<input id="min" type="number" required >
|
|
<input id="max" type="number" data-validator="greater_than" data-greater-than="min" required>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Accessibility
|
|
|
|
By default, Abide will add some accessibility attributes to your form elements. It is highly recommended to keep this option active as it improve the usability of your forms for disabled people. [Lean more about Accessibility in Foundation](accessibility.html).
|
|
|
|
However, if you think the attributes added by Abide are not correct, you can disable it by setting `a11yAttributes` (or `[data-a11y-attributes]`) to `false`.
