FormValidation v0.8.1 is released, supports Bootstrap 4 alpha 3

Enabling validators

← ejemplos

This example demonstrates how to enable/disable validators on the fly.

You might need two things:

  • The enabled option: This option is used to enable/disable the field validators initially.
  • The enableFieldValidators() method: This method enables/disables the field validators.

In the following form, the new password is not required. Its validators are disabled. When user set the password, the validators will be enabled.

<form id="enableForm" method="post" class="form-horizontal">
    <div class="form-group">
        <label class="col-xs-3 control-label">Full name (*)</label>
        <div class="col-xs-5">
            <input type="text" class="form-control" name="full_name" />
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="form-group">
        <label class="col-xs-3 control-label">New password</label>
        <div class="col-xs-5">
            <input type="password" class="form-control" name="password" />
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="form-group">
        <label class="col-xs-3 control-label">Confirm password</label>
        <div class="col-xs-5">
            <input type="password" class="form-control" name="confirm_password" />
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="form-group">
        <div class="col-xs-5 col-xs-offset-3">
            <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Validate</button>
        </div>
    </div>
</form>
