Would it be possible to add custom validations? about jquery-validator HOT 6 CLOSED

I just realize that the match validation rule can be used for exactly that purpose.

from jquery-validator.

I tried to make a custom validation for a time (hh:mm) value. The match:/^([01]\d|2[0-3]):?([0-5]\d)$/ string should do the trick. However, it contains the alternation regex character (pipe symbol) that can't be used in the match validation rules because it is already used for separating the validation rules. When I try to use the above rule it is split at the | character and javascript crashes due to an unmatched parenthesis. Is there any solution for this?

Also, it is not possible to use a colon (the : character) in the regular expression because it is already used for separating the rule name from a given value.

I think I'll probably add custom validation rules so that you don't have to rely on the match/regex rule.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#myForm').validator({
      events   : 'submit',
      selector : 'input[type!=submit], select, textarea',
      callback : function( elem, valid ) {
          if ( ! valid ) {
              $( elem ).addClass('error');
          }
      },
      validate_time: function(attribute, value, parameters) {
        return /^([01]\d|2[0-3]):?([0-5]\d)$/.match(value);
      }
    });
});

And of course, the markup:

<input type="text" data-validations="time">

What do you think about that?

That would be great. But what about the Laravel validation rules? I suppose the server and client side validation should match as much as possible. Can I make suggestions for the Laravel validation rules too?

I'm not sure what you mean. You're obviously not going to be able to completely reuse code - this plugin isn't going to execute arbitrary PHP - but you could reuse your regular expression.

For example:

Validator::register('awesome', function($attribute, $value, $parameters)
{
    return $value == Config::get('validation.awesome');
});

And in your template (using Blade):

$('...').validator({
    ...
    validate_awesome: function (attribute, value, parameters) {
        return value == {{ Config::get('validation.awesome') }};
    }
});

Obviously, that's just a string comparison, but it would be easy to modify for regular expressions.

Anyway, I added the custom validation rules, so you should be able to do things like I mentioned in the comment above.
