A way to define rule for field to be submited

toni.petrovic

Dear all,

is there a way to define rule for the filed in the editor to be submitted or committed if the rule is not acceptable?

I know, you can define in the field the parameter submit (see example below), but can we do this programmatically - maybe in preSubmit event?

fields: [{
                    label: "Age:",
                    name: "age",
                    submit: false
                }]

I need this in the case, when I want user to submit a number and the empty string causes me a problem. I want to solve this on the javascript side!

Thank you and kind regards,
Toni

Hi Toni,

For client-side validation see this example.

However, always do validation at the server-side. We focus on server-side validation rather than client-side, since you must do it at the server, so why bother duplicating the logic.

Dear @allan ,

I have validation on the other side, but for some fields I would like programmatically define if they should be send to the server side or not.
Is there an option for that? (to somehow toggle submit option of the field, something like: this.field( 'first_name' ).submit(false))

In your example it just shows hot to do the validation on the client side.

Kind regards,
Toni

Hi Toni,

I see - sorry, I misunderstood. No, at the moment the submit option for a field cannot be toggled using the API. That's a good idea though - I will add that for 2.2 which I'm working on (it is likely a few weeks away though).

To follow up on this, it never made it in to 2.2 (or 2.3), but it has now been committed for 2.4
