Download

From v0.6.0, the plugin name is changed to FormValidation. To upgrade from v0.5.3 to v0.6.0, perform the following steps:

Required Step: Changing CSS, Javascript paths

This step is required.

<!-- Path to Bootstrap CSS v3.0.0 or higher -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/vendor/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css">

<!-- Path to BootstrapValidator CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/vendor/bootstrapvalidator/dist/css/bootstrapValidator(.min).css">

<!-- jQuery v1.9.1 or higher -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="/vendor/jquery/jquery.min.js"></script>

<!-- Path to Bootstrap JS -->
<script src="/vendor/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

<!-- Path to BootstrapValidator JS -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="/vendor/bootstrapvalidator/dist/js/bootstrapValidator(.min).js"></script>

<!-- Path to Bootstrap CSS v3.0.0 or higher -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/vendor/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css">

<!-- FormValidation CSS file -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/vendor/formvalidation/dist/css/formValidation(.min).css">

<!-- jQuery v1.9.1 or higher -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="/vendor/jquery/jquery.min.js"></script>

<!-- Path to Bootstrap JS -->
<script src="/vendor/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

<!-- FormValidation plugin and the class supports validating Bootstrap form -->
<script src="/vendor/formvalidation/dist/js/formValidation(.min).js"></script>
<script src="/vendor/formvalidation/dist/js/framework/bootstrap(.min).js"></script>

Required Step: Changing your own validator

You can ignore this step in case you don't have any your own validators. Otherwise, change its declaration as following:

(function($) {
    $.fn.bootstrapValidator.validators.yourValidatorName = {
        validate: function(validator, $field, options) {
            ...
        }
    };
}(window.jQuery));

(function($) {
    FormValidation.Validator.yourValidatorName = {
        validate: function(validator, $field, options) {
            // ...
            // The validation code is the same
        }
    };
}(window.jQuery));

Optional Step: Calling plugin

After completing the steps above, you can call the plugin by both programmatic and declarative usages as before.

Using v0.5.3 options as your current one are supported in all v0.6.x releases. It means that you will have a lot of time to upgrade your code while current one still work.

Anyway, it is recommended to change the plugin calling, options which are listed as following:

Attribute

Form settings

$(form).bootstrapValidator({
    container: 'tooltip',
    feedbackIcons: {
        valid: '...',
        invalid: '...',
        validating: '...'
    },
    group: 'td',
    submitButtons: '#submitButton'
});

$(form).formValidation({
    framework: 'bootstrap',
    err: {
        container: 'tooltip'
    }
    icon: {
        valid: '...',
        invalid: '...',
        validating: '...'
    },
    row: {
        selector: 'td'
    },
    button: {
        selector: '#submitButton'
    }
});

Field settings

$(form).bootstrapValidator({
    fields: {
        fieldName: {
            container: 'tooltip',
            feedbackIcons: false,
            group: '.col-sm-3',
            validators: {
                ...
            }
        }
    }
});

$(form).formValidation({
    framework: 'bootstrap',
    fields: {
        fieldName: {
            err: 'tooltip',
            icon: false,
            row: '.col-sm-3',
            validators: {
                ...
            }
        }
    }
});
