Perform custom validation using form validator in EJ2 TypeScript Numerictextbox control
15 May 20236 minutes to read
This section explains how to perform custom validation on the NumericTextBox using FormValidator. The NumericTextBox will be validated when the value changes or the user clicks the submit button. Validation can be performed by adding custom validation in the rules collection of the FormValidator.
import { NumericTextBox } from '@syncfusion/ej2-inputs';
import { FormValidator, FormValidatorModel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-inputs';
import { Button } from '@syncfusion/ej2-buttons';
// initializes the NumericTextBox component
let numeric: NumericTextBox = new NumericTextBox({
min: 10,
max: 100,
strictMode : false,
placeholder: 'NumericTextbox',
floatLabelType: 'Always',
change: function(args){
if (numeric.value != null)
formObject.validate("numericRange");
}
});
numeric.appendTo('#numeric1');
let button: Button = new Button();
button.appendTo('#submit_btn');
// checks the value of NumericTextbox and returns the corresponding boolean value
let customFn: (args: { [key: string]: string }) => boolean = (args: { [key: string]: string }) => {
if(numeric.value>=10 && numeric.value<=100) {
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
};
// sets required property in the FormValidator rules collection
let options: FormValidatorModel = {
rules: {
'numericRange': { required: [true, "Number is required"] },
}
}
// defines FormValidator to validate the NumericTextBox
let formObject: FormValidator = new FormValidator('#form-element', options);
//rules for validating the NumericTextbox
formObject.addRules('numericRange', { range: [customFn, "Please enter a number between 10 to 100"] });
// places error label outside the NumericTextBox using the customPlacement event of FormValidator
let customPlace: (element: HTMLElement, error: HTMLElement) => void = (element: HTMLElement, error: HTMLElement) => {
element.parentNode.parentNode.appendChild(error);
};
formObject.customPlacement = customPlace;
let submitBtn: HTMLInputElement = <HTMLInputElement>document.getElementById('submit_btn');
submitBtn.onclick = () => {
// validates the NumericTextBox
formObject.validate("numericRange");
let ele: HTMLInputElement = <HTMLInputElement>document.getElementById('numeric1');
// checks for incomplete value and alerts the formt submit
if (ele.value !== "" && ele.value >=10 && ele.value<=100) {
alert("Submitted");
}
};
