  • Easy to add your own validators.
  • Custom error messages.
  • Useful API methods and events.

How to use it:

Download and insert the JavaScript file bouncer.polyfills.js into the web page.

<script src="dist/bouncer.polyfills.js"></script>

Initialize the Bouncer library and we’re ready to go.

var bouncer = new Bouncer('[data-validate]')

Apply validation rules to the form fields as follows:

<form class="validate-me" id="validate-me" data-validate>
  <div>
    <label for="file">Upload any file</label>
    <input name="file" id="file" type="file" data-bouncer-target="#file-error-msg" required>

Create a custom validator.

var bouncer = new Bouncer('[data-validate]',{
    customValidations: {
      valueMismatch: function (field) {
        // Look for a selector for a field to compare
        // If there isn't one, return false (no error)
        var selector = field.getAttribute('data-bouncer-match');
        if (!selector) return false;
        // Get the field to compare
        var otherField = field.form.querySelector(selector);
        if (!otherField) return false;
        // Compare the two field values
        // We use a negative comparison here because if they do match, the field validates
        // We want to return true for failures, which can be confusing
        return otherField.value !== field.value;
      }
    },
    messages: {
      valueMismatch: function (field) {
        var customMessage = field.getAttribute('data-bouncer-mismatch-message');
        return customMessage ? customMessage : 'Please make sure the fields match.'
      }
    }
})

Customize the error messages.

var bouncer = new Bouncer('[data-validate]',{
    messageAfterField: true,
    messageCustom: 'data-bouncer-message',
    messageTarget: 'data-bouncer-target',
    messages: {
      missingValue: {
        checkbox: 'This field is required.',
        radio: 'Please select a value.',
        select: 'Please select a value.',
        'select-multiple': 'Please select at least one value.',
        default: 'Please fill out this field.'
      },
      patternMismatch: {
        email: 'Please enter a valid email address.',
        url: 'Please enter a URL.',
        number: 'Please enter a number',
        color: 'Please match the following format: #rrggbb',
        date: 'Please use the YYYY-MM-DD format',
        time: 'Please use the 24-hour time format. Ex. 23:00',
        month: 'Please use the YYYY-MM format',
        default: 'Please match the requested format.'
      },
      outOfRange: {
        over: 'Please select a value that is no more than {max}.',
        under: 'Please select a value that is no less than {min}.'
      },
      wrongLength: {
        over: 'Please shorten this text to no more than {maxLength} characters. You are currently using {length} characters.',
        under: 'Please lengthen this text to {minLength} characters or more. You are currently using {length} characters.'
      },
      fallback: 'There was an error with this field.'
    },
})
