And then use it as an imported module:

import JustValidate from 'just-validate';

const validate = new JustValidate('#form');

Or if you don't use module bundlers, just include JustValidate script on your page from CDN and call it as window.JustValidate:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/just-validate@latest/dist/just-validate.production.min.js"></script>
<body>
  <script>
    const validate = new window.JustValidate('#form');
  </script>
</body>

Predefined rules

There are plenty of rules which you could use out of the box:

required, non-empty fields
valid email address
min/max text length
valid number
min/max number
valid password
valid strong password
check for the custom regexp
min/max count of uploaded files
min/max size, types, extensions, names of uploaded files
format date, check for isAfter/isBefore dates

Quick start

Let's say we have a basic HTML layout:

<form action="#" id="form" autocomplete="off">
  <label for="name">Enter your name</label>
  <input
    type="text"
    class="form__input form-control"
    placeholder="Enter your name"
    autocomplete="off"
    name="name"
    id="name"
  />
  <label for="email">Enter your email</label>
  <input
    type="email"
    class="form__input form-control"
    placeholder="Enter your email"
    autocomplete="off"
    name="email"
    id="email"
  />
  <button class="btn btn-primary" id="submit-btn">Submit</button>
</form>

Next, let's add JustValidate to our layout and define some simple rules.

First, we should create the instance new JustValidate('#form') by passing a form selector, or the element as an argument.

Second, we call .addField() with a field selector as the first argument and an array of rules as the second argument.

const validation = new JustValidate('#form');

validation
  .addField('#name', [
    {
      rule: 'minLength',
      value: 3,
    },
    {
      rule: 'maxLength',
      value: 30,
    },
  ])
  .addField('#email', [
    {
      rule: 'required',
      errorMessage: 'Email is required',
    },
    {
      rule: 'email',
      errorMessage: 'Email is invalid!',
    },
  ]);

And that's it! Now our form is validated!
