I am trying to build a contact form which is very similar to the one used in the keystone demo but i have hit a road block, While trying to save to db, I get the following errors
{ message: 'Validation failed',
name: 'ValidationError',
errors:
{ name:
{ name: 'ValidatorError',
path: 'name',
message: 'Name is required',
type: 'required' } } }
I have checked the fields on the form and also the request in the backend by doing a console.log but for some reason i still keep on getting the same error.
Here is what I have in my jade file
section#contact-container
section#contact.contact-us
.container
.section-header
// SECTION TITLE
h2.white-text Get in touch
// SHORT DESCRIPTION ABOUT THE SECTION
h6.white-text
| Have any question? Drop us a message. We will get back to you in 24 hours.
if enquirySubmitted
.row
h3.white-text.wow.fadeInLeft.animated(data-wow-offset='30', data-wow-duration='1.5s', data-wow-delay='0.15s') Thanks for getting in touch.
else
.row
form#contact.contact-form(method="post")
input(type='hidden', name='action', value='contact')
.wow.fadeInLeft.animated(data-wow-offset='30', data-wow-duration='1.5s', data-wow-delay='0.15s')
.col-lg-4.col-sm-4(class=validationErrors.name ? 'has-error' : null)
input.form-control.input-box(type='text', name='name', value=formData.name, placeholder='Your Name')
.col-lg-4.col-sm-4
input.form-control.input-box(type='email', name='email', value=formData.email, placeholder='Your Email')
.col-lg-4.col-sm-4
div(class=validationErrors.enquiryType ? 'has-error' : null)
input.form-control.input-box(type='text', name='enquiryType', placeholder='Subject', value=formData.enquiryType)
.col-md-12(class=validationErrors.message ? 'has-error' : null)
.col-md-12.wow.fadeInRight.animated(data-wow-offset='30', data-wow-duration='1.5s', data-wow-delay='0.15s')
textarea.form-control.textarea-box(name='message', placeholder='Your Message')= formData.message
button.btn.btn-primary.custom-button.red-btn.wow.fadeInLeft.animated(data-wow-offset='30', data-wow-duration='1.5s', data-wow-delay='0.15s', type='submit') Send Message
and this is how my schema and route file looks like
var keystone = require('keystone'),
Types = keystone.Field.Types;
var Enquiry = new keystone.List('Enquiry', {
nocreate: true,
noedit: true
});
Enquiry.add({
name: { type: Types.Name, required: true },
email: { type: Types.Email, required: true },
enquiryType: { type: String },
message: { type: Types.Markdown, required: true },
createdAt: { type: Date, default: Date.now }
});
Enquiry.schema.pre('save', function(next) {
this.wasNew = this.isNew;
next();
});
Enquiry.schema.post('save', function() {
if (this.wasNew) {
this.sendNotificationEmail();
}
});
Enquiry.schema.methods.sendNotificationEmail = function(callback) {
var enqiury = this;
keystone.list('User').model.find().where('isAdmin', true).exec(function(err, admins) {
if (err) return callback(err);
new keystone.Email('enquiry-notification').send({
to: admins,
from: {
name: 'Wheatcroft Accounting',
email: 'contact@abc.com'
},
subject: 'New Enquiry for **',
enquiry: enqiury
}, callback);
});
};
Enquiry.defaultSort = '-createdAt';
Enquiry.defaultColumns = 'name, email, enquiryType, createdAt';
Enquiry.register();
This is the route file
var keystone = require('keystone'),
async = require('async'),
Enquiry = keystone.list('Enquiry');
exports = module.exports = function(req, res) {
var view = new keystone.View(req, res),
locals = res.locals;
locals.section = 'contact';
locals.formData = req.body || {};
locals.validationErrors = {};
locals.enquirySubmitted = false;
view.on('post', { action: 'contact' }, function(next) {
var newEnquiry = new Enquiry.model();
var updater = newEnquiry.getUpdateHandler(req);
updater.process(req.body, {
flashErrors: true,
fields: 'name, email, enquiryType, message',
errorMessage: 'There was a problem submitting your enquiry:'
}, function(err) {
if (err) {
locals.validationErrors = err.errors;
console.log(err);
} else {
locals.enquirySubmitted = true;
}
next();
});
});
view.render('contact');
}
