Using Google material icons
← ejemplos
FormValidation will show a feedback icon when a field is being validated, invalid or valid. The icons can be set by the icon option:
icon: {
valid: null, // The CSS classes of valid icon
invalid: null, // The CSS classes of invalid icon
validating: null // The CSS classes of validating icon
}By using this option, it's easy to use the icons provided by different icon sets such as
This example shows how to use the Google material design icons.
It's up to you to choose suitable icons from Google material design icons for the feedback icons. The following table is just an example of three icons taken from the set:
| Field status | Icon |
|---|---|
| Valid |
|
| Invalid |
|
| Being validated |
|
As you see, each Google material design icon uses pre-defined content instead of a different CSS class. Meanwhile, the icon option only accepts CSS classes that are added to the icon based on the field validity.
The next section introduces two approaches to solve this problem.
Defining icon content by CSS
By using the :after CSS selector, we can indicated content of icons as
following:
.material-icons.valid-icon:after {
// The content of valid icon is 'check'
content: 'check';
font-size: 15px;
}
.material-icons.invalid-icon:after {
// The content of invalid icon is 'clear'
content: 'clear';
font-size: 15px;
}
.material-icons.validating-icon:after {
content: 'graphic_eq';
font-size: 15px;
}Lastly, you just set the icons for each status of field:
$('#googleIconsForm').formValidation({
framework: 'bootstrap',
icon: {
valid: 'material-icons valid-icon',
invalid: 'material-icons invalid-icon',
validating: 'material-icons validating-icon'
}
...
});<!-- Include Google material icons -->

$(document).ready(function() {
$('#googleIconsForm').formValidation({
framework: 'bootstrap',

invalid: 'material-icons invalid-icon',
validating: 'material-icons validating-icon'
},
fields: {

min: 6,
max: 30,
message: 'The username must be more than 6 and less than 30 characters long'

},
agree: {
validators: {
notEmpty: {
message: 'You must agree with the terms and conditions'
}
}
}
}
});
});
</script>Triggering the event
In this approach, we set the same material-icons class for all icons:
$('#googleIconsForm').formValidation({
icon: {
valid: 'material-icons',
invalid: 'material-icons',
validating: 'material-icons'
},
...
});In order to update the content of icon based on the field validity status, we can handle the status.field.fv event that is triggered whenever the field status is updated:
$('#googleIconsForm')
.formValidation({
icon: {
valid: 'material-icons',
invalid: 'material-icons',
validating: 'material-icons'
},
...
})
.on('status.field.fv', function(e, data) {
var $element = data.element, // Get the field element
$icon = $element.data('fv.icon'); // The feedback icon associates with the field
switch (data.status) {
case 'VALID':
$icon.html('check');
break;
case 'INVALID':
$icon.html('clear');
break;
case 'VALIDATING':
$icon.html('graphic_eq');
break;
case 'NOT_VALIDATED':
default:
$icon.html('');
break;
}
});
}); Tip: For a given field, we can retrieve the icon
element via $field.data('fv.icon') as seen in the sample code above
