# Redux Form Validation
An es6 redux form validator middleware that helps you manage inputs. This middleware is not about keeping your global form state; it's about keeping your form validation state.

If you are looking for a fully controlled input approach, you should head to redux-form.

About controlled inputs: [My controlled input dilemma with react & redux](http://www.position-absolute.com/?p=5264)

Demo: [Live Example](http://posabsolute.github.io/redux-form-validator-example/) | [Source](https://github.com/posabsolute/redux-form-validator-example)

Documentation: [http://posabsolute.github.io/redux-form-validator](http://posabsolute.github.io/redux-form-validator)

## Integration

1 npm install 'redux-form-validation' --save

2 Add the reducer to your root reducer

```javascript

import {validateReducer} from 'redux-form-validation';

const rootReducer = combineReducers({
validate: validateReducer,
});

export default rootReducer;
```

3 Add the validate middleware
```javascript
import {validateMiddleware} from 'redux-form-validation';

const createStoreWithMiddleware = compose(
validateMiddleware,
),
window.devToolsExtension ? window.devToolsExtension() : f => f
)(createStore);

```

4 Connect Validate store, actions & specify the component & model to validate. It is important this be available throughout every component that uses validation, you can trickle them down through props.

In your componentWillMount init the validation component:

```javascript
import {validate, validateActions} from 'redux-form-validation';

const mapStateToProps = (state) => {
return {
validationStore: state.validation,
};
};

const mapDispatchToProps = (
dispatch,
) => {
return {
...bindActionCreators(validateActions, dispatch),
};
};

@connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)
export default class LoginComponent extends React.Component {
componentWillMount() {
this.validate = validate(this, userModel);
}
render() {
return ;
}
}
```

5. Add validation to your inputs, there is also an error label component for your convenience.

a. add {...validate} to your input
b. add a name to your input (the middleware use the html5 form.elements)
c. To get the error class on your input, use className={validate.classes('input-line', 'url')}

It should look like:
```javascript

```

```javascript
import React from 'react';
import LabelError from 'components/validation/labelErrorComponent';

class LoginFormComponent extends React.Component {
render() {
const {validate, onSubmit} = this.props;
return (
{ evt.preventDefault(); onSubmit.call(this, validate);} }>












Sign in


);
}
}
```

6. Create a model

Anatomy of a model

```javascript
const userModel = {
name:'userModel',
data: {
'url': {
validate: {
required: true,
func: (value) => {
return true;
},
message: 'This is a test',
},
},
},
}
```

7 Using webpack? include jsx/es6
```javascript
module: {
loaders: [{
test:[/\.jsx$/, /\.js$/],
loaders: ['react-hot', 'babel?stage=0&loose[]=es6.modules'],
include: [
path.resolve(__dirname, "src"),
path.resolve(__dirname, "node_modules/redux-form-validator")
],
}, {
test: [/\.scss$/, /\.css$/],
loader: 'css?localIdentName=[path]!postcss-loader!sass',
}],
},
};
```

8 You're done.

## Using actions

You can use validation actions to execute code depending if the form or input is valid. It's a good way to control side effects like calling an api action once the field if valid.

### Validate Sync Form
```javascript
onSubmit: function(validateProps) {
const inputs = this.refs;
if (validateProps.form(form)) {
// form is valid, redirect to nre page
}else{
// form is not valid
}
}
```
### Validate Async Form
If you validate asyncly 1 input or form, you must use a promise instead of just using a bool.
```javascript
onSubmit: function submit(validateProps) {
const inputs = this.refs;
validateProps.form(inputs).then(() =>{
console.log('form is valid');
}).catch(() => {
console.log("form is not valid");
});
}
```

### Validate Sync input

```javascript
if(this.validate.input(value, field)){
// input is valid
}else{
// input is not valid
}
```

### Validate Async input

```javascript
this.validate.input(value, field).then(() => {
// input is valid
})
.catch(function(errorMessage) {
// input is not valid
});
```

## Validation model

### data

A Model must have a data object that describe fields to validate. Under the validate object list all the validators you want to use.

### Global Validate functions

The model can also have global validation functions that are executed once all inputs are valid.

#### validate(form, dispatch)

Used to do sync validations after all your inputs are valid. Must return true or false

```javascript
const userModel = {
name:'userModel',
data: {
'url': {
validate: {
required: true,
func: (value) => {
return true;
},
message: 'This is a test',
},
},
},
validate: (form, dispatch) => {
// form
let validate = false;
if (!form.url.value) {
dispatch({
type: 'GROWLER__SHOW',
growler: {
text: 'Please enter your url',
type: 'growler--error',
},
});
validate = false;
}

return true;
},
};
```

## Built-in validators

### func validator

Lets you implement a custom function used for validation.

```js
const userModel = {
name:'userModel',
data: {
'username': {
validate: {
required: true,
pattern: 'email',
async: function() {
setTimeout( () => {
this.resolve("yes");
}, 5000);
},
},
},
```

### async validator

Lets you implement a custom async function used for validation using a Promise. Must return this.resolve or this.reject. You can reject with a custom message passed as a string.

```js
const userModel = {
name:'userModel',
data: {
'username': {
validate: {
required: true,
pattern: 'email',
async: function() {
setTimeout( () => {
this.reject("Sorry, this username is already used.");
}, 5000);
},
},
},
```

### required

Validates if the attribute is required or not.
This can be specified as either a boolean value or a function that returns a boolean value.

```js
const userModel = {
name:'userModel',
data: {
'username': {
validate: {
required: true,
pattern: 'email',
},
},
},
};
```

### acceptance

Validates that something has to be accepted, e.g. terms of use. `true` or 'true' are valid.

```js
const userModel = {
name:'userModel',
data: {
'username': {
validate: {
required: true,
acceptance: true
}
}
};
```

### min

Validates that the value has to be a number and equal to or more than the min value specified.

```js
const userModel = {
name:'userModel',
data: {
'age': {
validate: {
min: 1,
}
}
}
});
```

### max

Validates that the value has to be a number and equal to or less than the max value specified.

```js
const userModel = {
name:'userModel',
data: {
'age': {
validate: {
max: 100,
}
}
}
};
```

### range

Validates that the value has to be a number and equal to or between the two numbers specified.

```js
const userModel = {
name:'userModel',
data: {
'age': {
validate: {
range: [1, 10],
}
}
}
};
```

### length

Validates that the value has to be a string with length equal to the length value specified.

```js
const userModel = {
name:'userModel',
data: {
'postalCode': {
validate: {
length: 4,
}
}
}
};
```

### minLength

Validates that the value has to be a string with length equal to or greater than the min length value specified.

```js
const userModel = {
name:'userModel',
data: {
'password': {
validate: {
minLength: 8
}
}
}
};
```

### maxLength

Validates that the value has to be a string with length equal to or less than the max length value specified.

```js
const userModel = {
name:'userModel',
data: {
'password': {
validate: {
maxLength: 100
}
}
}
};
```

### rangeLength

Validates that the value has to be a string and equal to or between the two numbers specified.

```js
const userModel = {
name:'userModel',
data: {
'password': {
validate: {
rangeLength: [6, 100]
}
}
}
};
```

### oneOf

Validates that the value has to be equal to one of the elements in the specified array. Case sensitive matching.

```js
const userModel = {
name:'userModel',
data: {
'country': {
validate: {
oneOf: ['Norway', 'Sweeden']
}
}
}
};
```

### equalTo

Validates that the value has to be equal to the value of the attribute with the name specified.

```js
const userModel = {
name:'userModel',
data: {
'password': {
validate: {
equalTo: 'password'
}
}
}
};
```

### pattern

Validates that the value has to match the pattern specified. Can be a regular expression or the name of one of the built in patterns.

```js
const userModel = {
name:'userModel',
data: {
'email': {
validate: {
pattern: 'email'
}
}
}
};
```

The built-in patterns are:

* number - Matches any number (e.g. -100.000,00)
* email - Matches a valid email address (e.g. [email protected])
* url - Matches any valid url (e.g. http://www.example.com)
* digits - Matches any digit(s) (i.e. 0-9)

Specify any regular expression you like:

```js
const userModel = {
name:'userModel',
data: {
'email': {
validate: {
pattern: /^sample/
}
}
}
};
```

## Contributions

There is plenty to do in the issue tracker, look at the 1.1 milestone

## Limitations

This component is based on the use of redux, react, es6 & es7 (decorators) and webpack for loading the css as an import module.
